Before you begin: receiving addresses and network selection
Interfaces can look similar while pointing to different networks, contracts and account permissions. Visual similarity is never enough to establish that two actions are equivalent. For Send & Receive Assets, start with receiving addresses and network selection, then place amount review inside the actual workflow. This makes the principles portable across different interfaces instead of tying understanding to one screen layout.
Before acting, identify the account in use, the target network, the asset or contract involved and the on-chain action expected to occur. When gas is relevant, review fee source, request details and confirmation state. When working with transaction hashes, prefer verifiable on-chain information over a label shown by one interface.
After the action, keep enough information to check the result again, such as confirmation status, the network name, destination address or contract address. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet acting alone. Third-party DApps and smart contracts carry their own risks, and a wallet connection does not make every request trustworthy.
Using receiving addresses as an example, separate what you see into three layers: interface presentation, the wallet request, and the verifiable on-chain result. The interface explains context, the wallet request defines what will be signed or sent, and the chain records what actually happened. If those layers do not agree, stop and verify the network, address, contract or transaction state before continuing.
A practical path for amount review
Understanding this topic starts with the relationship between the account, the selected network and the permission being requested, not with memorizing where a button sits. For Send & Receive Assets, start with receiving addresses and network selection, then place amount review inside the actual workflow. This makes the principles portable across different interfaces instead of tying understanding to one screen layout.

Checking gas and transaction hashes
On-chain activity is a sequence of independent decisions. A wrong network, address or permission can change the outcome, so the workflow should be understood before action. For Send & Receive Assets, start with receiving addresses and network selection, then place amount review inside the actual workflow. This makes the principles portable across different interfaces instead of tying understanding to one screen layout.

After the action: confirmation status and security review
A wallet connects a user to blockchain networks, but it cannot make every risk decision on the user’s behalf. Critical details still need to be reviewed directly. For Send & Receive Assets, start with receiving addresses and network selection, then place amount review inside the actual workflow. This makes the principles portable across different interfaces instead of tying understanding to one screen layout.

Security reminder
Keep your seed phrase and private key under your own control. imtoken personnel will never ask for them or for verification codes. Check the address, network and amount before transferring, and review each DApp signature or approval independently.
