Previously, we introduced features such as hiding risky transactions, address copy warnings, and risk labels to help users reduce the risk of sending assets to poisoned addresses. In imToken 2.21.0, we have further enhanced our address-checking capabilities by adding First-Time Interaction Address Alerts.
When you enter a recipient address, imToken automatically checks relevant information associated with that address to see if it’s saved in your Address Book, an ENS domain, a first-time interaction, or flagged with a risk label.
These prompts help you identify potential risks more easily while also providing additional context about the recipient address, allowing you to perform further verification before completing a transfer.
Clearer Risk Alerts
Automatic address checks help surface security-related information that may require additional attention before you proceed with a transfer.
First-Time Interaction Address
If you have never transferred to or interacted with the address on-chain before, imToken will display a First-Time Interaction reminder. For first-time interactions, we recommend verifying both the source of the address and the intended recipient before proceeding.
Risk Address
If the destination address has been flagged with a risk label, imToken will display a warning. When you see a risk-related alert, consider verifying the address source and transfer purpose before continuing to help reduce the risk of sending assets to the wrong address.
Clearer Key Information
In addition to security alerts, imToken also displays key information that can help you identify and verify recipient addresses more easily.
Address Book
If the recipient address has been saved in your Address Book, imToken will display the corresponding label. Address Book names make it easier to recognize frequently used addresses and confirm that the address matches your intended recipient.
Domain Information
If an address is associated with an on-chain domain such as ENS, imToken will display the relevant domain information. Compared with verifying a long string of characters, domain names provide a more intuitive way to identify recipient addresses.
A single address may have multiple characteristics. For example, it may be a first-time interaction address, be associated with an ENS domain, and also carry a risk label. When multiple conditions apply, imToken displays information based on priority, helping you quickly review both risk alerts and key address information in one place.
An Additional Reference Before You Transfer
Automatic address checks are designed to provide additional context before you transfer assets. By combining risk alerts with address information, they help you determine whether the recipient address matches your expectations.
Please note that these prompts are provided as reference information only and do not guarantee safety. Before completing a transfer, you should always verify the source of the address and carefully check the full address.
Update to imToken 2.21.0 to experience enhanced automatic transfer address checks.
