imtoken will never ask for your seed phrase, private key or verification code. Always review the address, network and request details before transferring, signing or approving.

Network Guides: A learning path across public chains, EVM, Layer 2, gas, network parameters and confirmation mechanics. To use this topic confidently on-chain, it helps to understand how the pieces fit together rather than memorize isolated terms. Each action should start with a clear check of the network, address and request details.

Security principle: In Network Guides, imtoken does not ask users to enter a seed phrase, private key or wallet recovery phrase.

public chain basics

When working with public chain basics, place the concept back into a real transaction flow. Information on screen may come from on-chain state, local wallet records or a third-party page, so verify public details such as the network, address, transaction hash or contract before deciding what to do next.

In Network Guides, the section on public chain basics connects directly to the page’s main task. A practical learning order is: understand the wallet, back it up, learn addresses and networks, receive and send assets, inspect transactions, connect to DApps, understand approvals, and then build long-term security habits. This reduces the chance of performing a high-risk action before the basics are clear.

Within Network Guides, for public chain basics, keep the decision reversible for as long as possible: verify information first, then authorize only the minimum action needed. If the request changes the network, transfers an asset, grants spending permission or interacts with a contract, review the exact target and expected result before confirming.

In Network Guides, a good outcome for public chain basics is not simply that an interface reports success. The useful evidence is whether the expected on-chain state appears on the correct network, under the correct address or contract, and with a transaction or permission record that matches the intended action.

EVM networks

A common mistake with EVM networks is drawing a conclusion from a single field. A stronger check compares the active network, destination, asset identity and on-chain record together, especially for same-named tokens, cross-network activity or DApp interactions.

In Network Guides, the section on EVM networks connects directly to the page’s main task. A practical learning order is: understand the wallet, back it up, learn addresses and networks, receive and send assets, inspect transactions, connect to DApps, understand approvals, and then build long-term security habits. This reduces the chance of performing a high-risk action before the basics are clear.

Layer 2

For Layer 2, a useful review pattern is source, scope and result. Source explains where the request came from; scope shows what the action can affect; result is then checked through transaction records, block confirmations or approval state.

In Network Guides, the section on Layer 2 connects directly to the page’s main task. A practical learning order is: understand the wallet, back it up, learn addresses and networks, receive and send assets, inspect transactions, connect to DApps, understand approvals, and then build long-term security habits. This reduces the chance of performing a high-risk action before the basics are clear.

gas

gas is not only a feature label; it also has a specific risk boundary. If a page conflicts with the wallet display or the request cannot be explained clearly, stop before signing, approving or transferring and verify through trusted public information.

In Network Guides, the section on gas connects directly to the page’s main task. A practical learning order is: understand the wallet, back it up, learn addresses and networks, receive and send assets, inspect transactions, connect to DApps, understand approvals, and then build long-term security habits. This reduces the chance of performing a high-risk action before the basics are clear.

Within Network Guides, for gas, keep the decision reversible for as long as possible: verify information first, then authorize only the minimum action needed. If the request changes the network, transfers an asset, grants spending permission or interacts with a contract, review the exact target and expected result before confirming.

In Network Guides, a good outcome for gas is not simply that an interface reports success. The useful evidence is whether the expected on-chain state appears on the correct network, under the correct address or contract, and with a transaction or permission record that matches the intended action.

confirmations and explorers

After completing an action involving confirmations and explorers, review the outcome again. Transaction status, approval targets, network confirmations and balance changes are stronger evidence than a page-level success message alone.

In Network Guides, the section on confirmations and explorers connects directly to the page’s main task. A practical learning order is: understand the wallet, back it up, learn addresses and networks, receive and send assets, inspect transactions, connect to DApps, understand approvals, and then build long-term security habits. This reduces the chance of performing a high-risk action before the basics are clear.

Important risk reminder

For Network Guides, Remember: the user is responsible for safeguarding the seed phrase and private keys, and official staff will not ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet alone, and third-party DApps or smart contracts may involve technical or fraud risks. Review the address, network, amount, approval target and permission scope before acting.
