Understand the boundary of product updates
Product and Security Updates is easier to use correctly when product updates is treated as a verifiable part of an on-chain workflow rather than a label in the interface. Provide product notices, network reminders, security alerts and service information without invented dates, partnership claims or market-promotion language. The key distinction is between what a wallet displays for convenience and what the target blockchain records as state. A balance, network name, contract reference or transaction status should therefore be checked in the context of the network where the action actually occurs.
Looking at product updates together with network notices prevents many avoidable mistakes. Similar address formats can appear on different networks, familiar token names can refer to different contracts, and a request can look routine while asking for broader permissions than expected. Before acting on security alerts, confirm the source of the request, the selected network, the destination or contract and the exact action being authorized.
A robust routine keeps enough information to review the action later. Save a transaction hash when relevant, use an appropriate block explorer to check on-chain status, read signature or approval details before confirming and stop when a request cannot be explained. Familiar names, icons or balances are not substitutes for verification, and confirmed on-chain actions are generally not reversible by a wallet on its own.
- Confirm that you are evaluating product updates, not a similar-looking concept.
- Tie network notices to the intended network, address or contract.
- Keep at least one verifiable reference before proceeding with security alerts.

Use and decision points
A consistent sequence around product updates and network notices reduces cognitive load when switching networks, sending transactions or handling permissions. Approve only what the current step requires and use update verification or an on-chain record to verify the result afterwards.
Keep your seed phrase and private keys under your own control. imtoken staff will never ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Do not send these secrets to anyone; verify the address, network and amount before a transfer. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed unilaterally by a wallet, and third-party DApps and smart contracts can carry risk.
