Core concepts
After a Multi-chain task is completed, review asset mapping and risk checks to make sure the outcome matches the intent. Long-lived approvals and persistent connections should be revisited periodically. Good wallet hygiene is a repeated process of checking critical details and retaining traceable on-chain information, not a one-time setting.
For multi-network assets, first define its role in the current task, then check whether chain differences and network identification are consistent. When asset mapping is involved, do not rely only on a default option; understand which account, asset or permission it may affect. For risk checks, use on-chain records and the actual status as the source of truth. imtoken will not ask users to enter a seed phrase, private key or wallet recovery phrase on a web page, and it will not require remote control of a device for sensitive wallet actions.
- Confirm: multi-network assets
- Cross-check: chain differences and network identification
- Review carefully: asset mapping
- Verify afterward: risk checks
Checks before you act
To understand Multi-chain, treat chain differences and network identification as parts of the same on-chain workflow. The interface is only the entry point; the selected network, current chain state and permission scope determine what actually happens. Confirm the destination, source and network before continuing so the meaning of the request stays clear.
For chain differences, first define its role in the current task, then check whether network identification and asset mapping are consistent. When risk checks is involved, do not rely only on a default option; understand which account, asset or permission it may affect. For multi-network assets, use on-chain records and the actual status as the source of truth. imtoken will not ask users to enter a seed phrase, private key or wallet recovery phrase on a web page, and it will not require remote control of a device for sensitive wallet actions.

- Verify afterward: multi-network assets
How to evaluate a live request
network identification rarely appears in isolation. It often intersects with asset mapping and risk checks. A useful pattern is to separate each action into four checks: identify the object, verify the network, review permissions, and confirm the result. If one of those checks cannot be completed, stop and verify rather than relying on an unfamiliar site or remote instructions.

Risks and boundaries
When using imtoken for Multi-chain, prioritize information that can be independently verified, such as addresses, network names, contract addresses, transaction hashes and block-explorer records. Visual design, urgency messages or claims from an unknown support account are not substitutes for verifiable on-chain details.
For asset mapping, first define its role in the current task, then check whether risk checks and multi-network assets are consistent. When chain differences is involved, do not rely only on a default option; understand which account, asset or permission it may affect. For network identification, use on-chain records and the actual status as the source of truth. imtoken will not ask users to enter a seed phrase, private key or wallet recovery phrase on a web page, and it will not require remote control of a device for sensitive wallet actions.
- Confirm: asset mapping
- Cross-check: risk checks and multi-network assets
- Review carefully: chain differences
- Verify afterward: network identification
How to verify the outcome
From a risk perspective, chain differences and network identification deserve an independent review. Once a transaction is confirmed on-chain, a wallet normally cannot reverse it unilaterally. DApps and smart contracts can also introduce permission and contract risks, so every signature, approval and transfer should be understood before it is accepted.

Practical checklist
- Never share your seed phrase, private key or verification code.
- Verify the address, network and amount before sending.
- Review each DApp signature and token approval independently.
- Use transaction hashes and block explorers to verify on-chain status.
- Revoke approvals and disconnect sessions that are no longer needed.
