Before you begin
Have the intended network, destination or interaction target and any public identifiers ready. Never enter or send a seed phrase, private key, recovery phrase or verification code on a website.
01
Understand the role of create
Within imtoken guidance on Wallet Guides, create should not be treated as an isolated term. Its practical meaning depends on the selected network, the account address, the origin of the request and the final on-chain record. Place the concept in a real wallet workflow rather than memorising a definition. Its meaning becomes clearer when you relate it to the network, address, request details and the final on-chain result. For everyday use, the important skill is knowing when the information is complete enough to proceed, when a mismatch should stop the action, and which data can be checked publicly without exposing recovery secrets. Using that framework for create helps distinguish a temporary interface status from a confirmed blockchain result and reduces mistakes caused by choosing the wrong network or trusting an unexpected request.
Work backward from the expected result
Wallet Guides often combines several conditions at once. With create, start by confirming the active account and intended network, then review the displayed counterparty, amount, fee, data or permission scope as relevant. If the request differs from what you intended, do not confirm it simply because the site looks familiar. If a transaction has already been broadcast, use its transaction hash and explorer data to understand progress instead of guessing from a loading screen. The same reasoning applies to back up and import: every step should be explainable, independently reviewable and free from promises that cannot be verified on-chain.
- Confirm that create matches the intended network context
- Review the account, contract or state related to back up
- Keep public identifiers such as transaction hashes for troubleshooting
02
How back up affects real actions
Within imtoken guidance on Wallet Guides, back up should not be treated as an isolated term. Its practical meaning depends on the selected network, the account address, the origin of the request and the final on-chain record. During an actual action, compare the interface with on-chain context. Pay particular attention to the selected network, address format, transaction state and the contract or account requesting permission. For everyday use, the important skill is knowing when the information is complete enough to proceed, when a mismatch should stop the action, and which data can be checked publicly without exposing recovery secrets. Using that framework for back up helps distinguish a temporary interface status from a confirmed blockchain result and reduces mistakes caused by choosing the wrong network or trusting an unexpected request.

If a transaction has already been broadcast, use its transaction hash and explorer data to understand progress instead of guessing from a loading screen. The same reasoning applies to import and receive: every step should be explainable, independently reviewable and free from promises that cannot be verified on-chain.
- Confirm that back up matches the intended network context
- Review the account, contract or state related to import
- Keep public identifiers such as transaction hashes for troubleshooting
03
What to review around import
Within imtoken guidance on Wallet Guides, import should not be treated as an isolated term. Its practical meaning depends on the selected network, the account address, the origin of the request and the final on-chain record. When a status is unclear, avoid repeatedly submitting the same action. Check the transaction hash, block explorer data and the confirmation state on the intended network before deciding what to do next. For everyday use, the important skill is knowing when the information is complete enough to proceed, when a mismatch should stop the action, and which data can be checked publicly without exposing recovery secrets. Using that framework for import helps distinguish a temporary interface status from a confirmed blockchain result and reduces mistakes caused by choosing the wrong network or trusting an unexpected request.

- Confirm that import matches the intended network context
- Review the account, contract or state related to receive
- Keep public identifiers such as transaction hashes for troubleshooting
04
Common mistakes involving receive
Within imtoken guidance on Wallet Guides, receive should not be treated as an isolated term. Its practical meaning depends on the selected network, the account address, the origin of the request and the final on-chain record. Treat every signature, approval and transfer as a separate decision. A service that was previously connected should not automatically be trusted for a new request with different permissions or transaction data. For everyday use, the important skill is knowing when the information is complete enough to proceed, when a mismatch should stop the action, and which data can be checked publicly without exposing recovery secrets. Using that framework for receive helps distinguish a temporary interface status from a confirmed blockchain result and reduces mistakes caused by choosing the wrong network or trusting an unexpected request.

If a transaction has already been broadcast, use its transaction hash and explorer data to understand progress instead of guessing from a loading screen. The same reasoning applies to send and transaction history: every step should be explainable, independently reviewable and free from promises that cannot be verified on-chain.
- Confirm that receive matches the intended network context
- Review the account, contract or state related to send
- Keep public identifiers such as transaction hashes for troubleshooting
05
How to interpret send states
Within imtoken guidance on Wallet Guides, send should not be treated as an isolated term. Its practical meaning depends on the selected network, the account address, the origin of the request and the final on-chain record. For troubleshooting, retain information that can be shared safely, such as a transaction hash, network name and approximate time. Never provide a seed phrase, private key or verification code as diagnostic information. For everyday use, the important skill is knowing when the information is complete enough to proceed, when a mismatch should stop the action, and which data can be checked publicly without exposing recovery secrets. Using that framework for send helps distinguish a temporary interface status from a confirmed blockchain result and reduces mistakes caused by choosing the wrong network or trusting an unexpected request.

- Confirm that send matches the intended network context
- Review the account, contract or state related to transaction history
- Keep public identifiers such as transaction hashes for troubleshooting
06
Make transaction history part of a routine
Within imtoken guidance on Wallet Guides, transaction history should not be treated as an isolated term. Its practical meaning depends on the selected network, the account address, the origin of the request and the final on-chain record. A consistent review order reduces mistakes: identify the counterparty or request first, confirm the network next, check the amount or permission scope, and only then sign or send. For everyday use, the important skill is knowing when the information is complete enough to proceed, when a mismatch should stop the action, and which data can be checked publicly without exposing recovery secrets. Using that framework for transaction history helps distinguish a temporary interface status from a confirmed blockchain result and reduces mistakes caused by choosing the wrong network or trusting an unexpected request.

A practical safety reminder
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control; legitimate support should not ask for them. Before a transfer, verify the address, network and amount. Before signing or approving, review the origin, contract and permission scope. On-chain transactions usually cannot be reversed by a wallet alone, and third-party DApps and smart contracts can carry risk.
