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.

Blockchain Networks

Build a practical mental model of multi-chain, public chains, EVM, Layer 2 and confirmations.

Safety principle

Never share your seed phrase, private key or verification code. Review the address, network and request details before you sign, approve or transfer.

Why the same address can appear on several chains

How to evaluate it

Why the same address can appear on several chains is a distinct part of understanding Blockchain Networks. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. The goal is not to memorize button positions. A safer habit is to identify the request, the network, the permission being granted and the result you expect before you confirm anything.

Why the same address can appear on several chains is a distinct part of understanding Blockchain Networks. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Fees, confirmation speed and supported features vary across networks. A wallet interface is only one view of the activity; the corresponding blockchain record remains the stronger reference for transaction status.

Public chains and execution environments

Operational and risk points

Public chains and execution environments is a distinct part of understanding Blockchain Networks. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution.

Public chains and execution environments is a distinct part of understanding Blockchain Networks. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Use a least-privilege mindset. Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code, and do not lower your review standard because a request claims to be support, an airdrop, an upgrade or an urgent notice.

Layer 2 and mainnet

How to evaluate it

Layer 2 and mainnet is a distinct part of understanding Blockchain Networks. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Use a least-privilege mindset. Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code, and do not lower your review standard because a request claims to be support, an airdrop, an upgrade or an urgent notice.

Layer 2 and mainnet is a distinct part of understanding Blockchain Networks. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. A repeatable sequence helps: verify the source, check the address and network, review the amount or permission, then keep the transaction hash and verify confirmation on-chain. Stop when details conflict.

Network-specific gas and confirmation rules
