Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
Manage multi-chain assets, choose networks, send and receive, connect to DApps, review approvals, learn how networks work and build safer wallet habits in one clear information system.
Common tasks
Start from what you need to do
A wallet becomes easier to understand when concepts are attached to concrete actions. Each task below leads to a focused guide.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep recovery information offline and verify that the backup can be read before it is needed.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Check the receiving address and network together before sharing an address or accepting a transfer.
Open guide →Send Assets
Review the destination, network, amount, gas and expected result before confirming a transfer.
Open guide →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain first, then inspect each account, signature and approval request separately.

One wallet, several kinds of decisions
The goal is not to make every action look identical, but to expose the network, permission and security information that matters.
Multi-chain assets
Asset symbols can repeat across networks. Review network identity, address context and confirmation rules together.
Send & receive
Check the receiving address, selected network, amount, gas and transaction hash as part of one complete flow.
Open transfer guide →imtoken APP
Manage networks, review assets and transactions, and approach DApp requests from a mobile wallet.
Explore the app →imtoken Web
Browser connections should make account access, signing and approval requests understandable before confirmation.
Understand web connections →Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control, preferably offline. Review addresses, signatures and approvals before acting.
Network explorer
Different networks require different checks
Switch between topics to compare how network identity, fees and confirmations change across different environments.
Multi-chain
Different networks can carry different asset standards, fees and confirmation rules. Treat network identity as part of the asset itself and verify it before every transfer.
Learn more →Public Chains
Public chains coordinate nodes, blocks, transactions and consensus to maintain shared state. A blockchain explorer helps you inspect what the network recorded.

EVM Networks
EVM-compatible networks share many address and contract concepts, but gas assets, network identifiers and deployed contracts can still differ.

Layer 2
Layer 2 environments relate to a base network but can have distinct deposit, withdrawal and confirmation flows. Check the destination layer before bridging.
Learn more →
Gas & Confirmations
Fees can change with network demand, and a broadcast transaction may move through pending, confirmed or failed states. Use the transaction hash to verify status.

Six steps from installation to review
Each step has a different risk surface. Treat backup, network selection and signing as deliberate checkpoints.
01
Get imtoken
Use the official download entry and review the device state before installation.
02
Create or import
Understand whether you are creating a new secret or importing an existing one before proceeding.
03
Back up offline
Store the seed phrase offline and never send it to another person or support channel.
04
Choose the network
Verify the network and receiving address as one combined check.
05
Receive or send
Check address, network, amount and gas before confirming a transfer.
06
Review transactions
Use transaction history and the transaction hash to check results and review unnecessary approvals.
Web3 & DApp
Treat each request as a separate decision
Connecting a wallet does not mean every later signature or approval should be accepted. Review every request in context.
Connection is only the beginning. Every signature and approval deserves its own review.
- Visit the DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start a connection
- Review the account request
- Inspect the signature or approval
- Complete the intended action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Security is a sequence of small checks
A secure workflow starts before a transaction. Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control, avoid sharing verification codes, inspect the network and destination before sending, and read every DApp request before signing. Public devices, public networks, remote-control tools and unverified websites can all introduce additional risk. On-chain transactions are generally not reversible by the wallet alone, so careful review before confirmation matters.

- Do not disclose private keys
- Verify network and address
- Inspect signing requests
- Manage DApp approvals
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with the difference between an address and a secret key, then learn why networks matter, how gas and transaction hashes work, and what changes when a DApp asks for a signature or token approval.

Ethereum & PoS
Understand the mechanism before considering participation
Staking content is educational and avoids fixed-yield or risk-free claims.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Learn how Ethereum PoS, validators, reward sources, withdrawals and exits fit together. Rewards are not guaranteed and can change with network conditions.
Learn the fundamentals →What to understand before participating
Validator penalties, waiting periods, smart-contract risk, third-party service risk and digital-asset price volatility can all affect outcomes.
Understand PoS & validators →Updates
View all updates →Information first, dates only when they are real
Recent Update
→Review wallet and network settings after an app update before carrying out a high-impact action.
Network Notice
→When network conditions change, gas and confirmation speed can change as well; verify current status before sending.
Security Notice
→A legitimate support interaction should not require your seed phrase, private key or verification code.
Service Notice
→If a service flow is unavailable, avoid repeated submissions and verify whether an earlier request already reached the network.
FAQ
Open full FAQ →Common questions, clear boundaries
An address can be shared to receive assets. A private key controls the ability to authorize actions for the account and should remain secret.
The same asset symbol can exist on different networks. A correct-looking address does not remove the need to verify the network.
Gas is used by many networks to meter computation and determine the fee required to process a transaction or contract call.
No. Connection, signing, transaction confirmation and token approval are separate actions and should be reviewed separately.
No promise should be made that a wallet can recover secrets it does not control. Keep backups under your own control.
No. Rewards can change, exits can involve waiting periods, validators can face penalties, and digital asset prices can fluctuate.
Review active permissions and disconnect sessions you no longer need. Consider revoking approvals that are no longer required.
