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.

Send & Receive

Use address, network, amount, gas, and transaction-hash checks for sending and receiving assets.

Send & Receive

This guide follows the order of a real task, explaining what to check, why it matters, and how to verify the result.

What to prepare before you begin

Send & Receive is easier to use when receiving assets and sending assets are understood in the same operational context. Receiving assets normally requires only a public address that matches the intended network, not a private key. The important checks are the network, address, and asset standard. Sending assets creates a transaction that must be signed and broadcast to a network. An error in the address, network, amount, or fee can change the outcome. These situations are rarely improved by clicking faster; separate the object, permission, and expected result instead.

For Send & Receive, divide the task into prepare, review, execute, and verify. Define the intended outcome first, use receiving assets as a checkpoint before approval, authorize only what matches the task, and use sending assets or other on-chain evidence to verify the result. If something looks wrong, keep public verification details and avoid repeatedly retrying a signature or transfer you do not understand.

Practical checkpoint

  • Provide the full address and network name to the sender, then verify receipt against on-chain records.
  • Review the address, network, amount, asset, and fee one by one, and do not skip checks because of urgency or countdown pressure.
  • Before any transfer, signature, or approval, confirm that the network, address, and request details match the action you intended.

Complete the important steps in order

Send & Receive is easier to use when address and network are understood in the same operational context. An address identifies an on-chain account or contract. Address formats can look similar across networks, so appearance alone is not enough to confirm the destination network. Different blockchain networks have their own nodes, fees, confirmation rules, and contract environments. Identical asset names do not mean the assets live on the same chain. Understanding the boundary is more important than rushing to completion because on-chain actions can create difficult-to-reverse outcomes.

For Send & Receive, divide the task into prepare, review, execute, and verify. Define the intended outcome first, use address as a checkpoint before approval, authorize only what matches the task, and use network or other on-chain evidence to verify the result. If something looks wrong, keep public verification details and avoid repeatedly retrying a signature or transfer you do not understand.

Practical checkpoint

  • Recheck the leading and trailing characters, destination network, and asset type; a small test transfer can reduce uncertainty for important transactions.
  • Confirm the network name before sending, adding an asset, or interacting with a DApp.
  • Before any transfer, signature, or approval, confirm that the network, address, and request details match the action you intended.

How to verify the result

Send & Receive is easier to use when gas and transaction hash are understood in the same operational context. Gas measures computational work for on-chain execution, and the actual fee can vary with network conditions and operation complexity. A high or low fee does not prove that a transaction is safe. A transaction hash identifies an on-chain transaction and can be used in a block explorer to inspect broadcast, inclusion, execution, or failure status. Putting these concepts together is more useful than memorizing vocabulary without knowing when a check matters.

For Send & Receive, divide the task into prepare, review, execute, and verify. Define the intended outcome first, use gas as a checkpoint before approval, authorize only what matches the task, and use transaction hash or other on-chain evidence to verify the result. If something looks wrong, keep public verification details and avoid repeatedly retrying a signature or transfer you do not understand.

Practical checkpoint

  • Separate the network fee, transfer amount, and contract call details instead of focusing only on the fee number.
  • Keep the hash for important transactions, and cross-check on-chain data when an interface status looks unusual.
  • Before any transfer, signature, or approval, confirm that the network, address, and request details match the action you intended.

Common mistakes and a final review

Send & Receive is easier to use when receiving assets and sending assets are understood in the same operational context. Receiving assets normally requires only a public address that matches the intended network, not a private key. The important checks are the network, address, and asset standard. Sending assets creates a transaction that must be signed and broadcast to a network. An error in the address, network, amount, or fee can change the outcome. In practice, the useful habit is to match what the interface shows against the network, address, and actual request details.

For Send & Receive, divide the task into prepare, review, execute, and verify. Define the intended outcome first, use receiving assets as a checkpoint before approval, authorize only what matches the task, and use sending assets or other on-chain evidence to verify the result. If something looks wrong, keep public verification details and avoid repeatedly retrying a signature or transfer you do not understand.

Practical checkpoint

  • Provide the full address and network name to the sender, then verify receipt against on-chain records.
  • Review the address, network, amount, asset, and fee one by one, and do not skip checks because of urgency or countdown pressure.
  • Before any transfer, signature, or approval, confirm that the network, address, and request details match the action you intended.
Security reminder

Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control. Do not send them to anyone. Review the address, network, amount, signature text, and approval scope before confirming. Third-party DApps and smart contracts can introduce independent risk.
