Security

Define the security boundary first

Verification focus

When working with Security, start by keeping seed phrase protection, private key protection, and approval reviews in the same context. Build a practical security routine from recovery material and device hygiene to transfers and DApp approvals without relying on absolute-safety claims. A familiar label or icon is not enough on its own; the active network, account, address, contract or transaction record should agree with the action you intend to take. For consequential actions, understanding exactly what is being requested matters more than moving quickly through a confirmation screen.

A practical Security workflow can follow a consistent sequence: confirm the source and destination, review approval reviews, then verify phishing recognition in the correct network context, and finally inspect device security together with the possible on-chain consequence. Only after that review should you sign or submit. Keep non-secret evidence such as a transaction hash or contract address so the result can be checked later.

The central risk around Security is that On-chain transactions, third-party contracts and device environments all carry risk; security practices reduce exposure rather than promise zero risk. If an unexpected network switch, unfamiliar contract, excessive approval, changed address or urgency tactic appears, stop before confirming. Seed phrases, private keys and verification codes are never normal troubleshooting material; imtoken staff will not ask for them and they should not be submitted through websites, chats or remote-control tools.

Recognize the most common threat scenarios

Key observations during the workflow

For “Recognize the most common threat scenarios”, private key protection establishes the starting point, approval reviews helps explain whether the process is progressing as expected, and phishing recognition is often the detail that can be cross-checked against wallet history or public on-chain data. If those facts conflict, stop and verify the source again. Transfers, signatures, approvals and cross-layer actions deserve a complete review even when the interface looks familiar.

It also helps to separate interface information from verifiable on-chain facts. phishing recognition may describe the intent of an action and device security may provide useful status context, but important decisions should still be checked against transaction checks and the relevant network record. Wallet labels, token symbols, DApp copy and promotional language can all be imitated, so familiarity is not proof of authenticity.

• Review seed phrase protection in the correct network context.
• Review private key protection in the correct network context.
• Review approval reviews in the correct network context.
• Review phishing recognition in the correct network context.
• Review device security in the correct network context.

What to do after noticing something suspicious

Do not let urgency replace judgment
