Web3 & DApps

What to confirm before you begin

Verification focus

When working with Web3 & DApps, start by keeping DApp domains, account connections, and network requests in the same context. Separate connection, signature, transaction and approval requests so each confirmation has a clear purpose. A familiar label or icon is not enough on its own; the active network, account, address, contract or transaction record should agree with the action you intend to take. For consequential actions, understanding exactly what is being requested matters more than moving quickly through a confirmation screen.

A practical Web3 & DApps workflow can follow a consistent sequence: confirm the source and destination, review network requests, then verify message signatures in the correct network context, and finally inspect transaction signatures together with the possible on-chain consequence. Only after that review should you sign or submit. Keep non-secret evidence such as a transaction hash or contract address so the result can be checked later.

The central risk around Web3 & DApps is that Malicious sites can imitate familiar interfaces; after connecting a wallet, review the domain, request details, contract target and permission scope every time. If an unexpected network switch, unfamiliar contract, excessive approval, changed address or urgency tactic appears, stop before confirming. Seed phrases, private keys and verification codes are never normal troubleshooting material; imtoken staff will not ask for them and they should not be submitted through websites, chats or remote-control tools.

Follow the main workflow in order

Key observations during the workflow

For “Follow the main workflow in order”, account connections establishes the starting point, network requests helps explain whether the process is progressing as expected, and message signatures is often the detail that can be cross-checked against wallet history or public on-chain data. If those facts conflict, stop and verify the source again. Transfers, signatures, approvals and cross-layer actions deserve a complete review even when the interface looks familiar.

It also helps to separate interface information from verifiable on-chain facts. message signatures may describe the intent of an action and transaction signatures may provide useful status context, but important decisions should still be checked against approval lifecycles and the relevant network record. Wallet labels, token symbols, DApp copy and promotional language can all be imitated, so familiarity is not proof of authenticity.

• Review DApp domains in the correct network context.
• Review account connections in the correct network context.
• Review network requests in the correct network context.
• Review message signatures in the correct network context.
• Review transaction signatures in the correct network context.

How to respond when something looks wrong

Do not let urgency replace judgment
