How PoS works
How PoS works is an essential part of understanding PoS & Validators. Staking should be understood as participation in a network mechanism, not as a fixed-return product. Validator state, protocol parameters, exit queues, smart-contract exposure and market prices can all affect outcomes, while reward rates and waiting times may change. imtoken does not ask users to enter seed phrases, private keys or recovery phrases into content pages. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet provider, so confirmation should always follow the user’s own review.

Practical checks
- Confirm the current account and network
- Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
- Read the full transfer, signature or approval request before confirming
Validator duties
Validator duties is an essential part of understanding PoS & Validators. Staking should be understood as participation in a network mechanism, not as a fixed-return product. Validator state, protocol parameters, exit queues, smart-contract exposure and market prices can all affect outcomes, while reward rates and waiting times may change. When something is unclear, stop and re-check through a trusted entry point rather than following an unfamiliar link, screenshot instruction or remote-control request. A small test transaction can be useful before a high-value transfer.

Practical checks
- Keep the transaction hash for later checks
- Use the relevant block explorer to verify on-chain status
- Stop and re-check when the source or request is unclear
