Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
From multi-chain assets, network selection, sending and receiving to DApp connections, signatures, approvals, network knowledge and wallet security, imtoken brings common workflows and critical checks into one clear path. Understand what each step does, decide deliberately, and verify outcomes using on-chain records.

Back Up a Wallet
Keep the seed phrase offline, avoid screenshots and never disclose private keys.
Backup guide →Receive Assets
Verify both the receiving address and network before sharing details.

See assets, networks and actions as one connected workflow
Different tasks require different information. Multi-chain assets, mobile wallet use, browser connections and security are presented with distinct structures instead of one repeated pattern.
Multi-chain Assets
Recognize network-specific assets, address context and confirmations. Same-name tokens can exist on different chains, so verify the network and contract information instead of relying only on a display name.
imtoken App
View assets, manage networks, review transaction history and access DApps from a mobile device while keeping installation source, screen lock and network environment in mind.
Send & Receive
Check address and network when receiving; check amount, gas and transaction hash when sending. After submission, prioritize the on-chain record.
View the workflow →imtoken Web
A browser connection creates a session, not blanket approval for future signatures. Review every signature and token approval independently.
Understand Web connections →Wallet Security
Seed phrases and private keys remain under user control. Offline backup, address checks, approval reviews and device security work best as a repeatable checklist.
Blockchain Networks
Understand the network before making an on-chain action
Network selection affects addresses, gas, confirmations and asset display. All panel text remains present in the server-rendered HTML when JavaScript is unavailable.
Multiple chains are not one shared ledger
Each chain has its own blocks, nodes, fees and confirmation rules. When switching networks, verify where the asset exists, what network the recipient supports and whether same-name tokens could be confused.
Public chains coordinate state through network nodes
Transactions propagate through the network and are recorded in blocks. Block explorers help verify transaction hashes, block height and confirmation status.
EVM networks share an execution model, not a single chain
Similar address formats and tooling can be confusing. Before transfers or approvals, verify the active chain, contract address and gas asset.
Layer 2 networks have a specific relationship with mainnet
Cross-layer transfers may involve bridges, waiting periods and distinct arrival confirmations. An identical-looking address does not remove the need to verify the network.
Gas and confirmations reflect network resources and state
Gas is not a fixed wallet charge. Congestion, transaction complexity and fee parameters can affect processing, while the transaction hash remains a key reference for status checks.

Verify the network first, then judge fees and waiting time.
Wallet journey
From obtaining imtoken to checking transactions and approvals
A repeatable sequence makes it easier to stop, verify and continue without skipping important checks.
Get imtoken
Use a trusted entry point to the download page and initiate downloads only through a deliberate user click.
Create or import a wallet
Understand the difference between creation and import. A website should not ask you to submit a seed phrase or private key into a form.
Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline; avoid screenshots, casual cloud sync and sharing it with supposed support staff.
Select and verify the network
Confirm that the asset network matches the recipient’s supported network and that the correct gas asset is available.
Receive or send assets
Check address and network when receiving; review amount, fees and destination again before sending.
Review transactions and approvals
Use the transaction hash to verify the on-chain outcome and periodically review DApp approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApps
A connection is only the beginning; review every request independently
Verify the DApp domain and purpose before connecting. Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Each signature and approval deserves its own review.
Open the Web3 guide →- Visit the DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start the connection
- Review the account request
- Inspect the signature or approval
- Complete the action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Keep critical credentials inside an environment you control
Seed phrases and private keys remain under user custody. Official staff will not ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. Verify the address, network and amount before transfers, and verify the domain, signature content and approval scope before DApp actions. Blockchain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet provider, and third-party DApps or contracts may introduce risk.

Academy
Start with the concepts that matter before first using a digital wallet
The learning path begins with addresses, seed phrases and private keys, then moves through networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals.
Featured starter
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
An address is a public receiving identifier, while seed phrases and private keys relate to account control. The network determines where a transaction occurs, gas pays for on-chain execution, a transaction hash identifies the record, and DApp connections, signatures and approvals represent different levels of interaction.
Start learning →Public Chains & Confirmations
Understand blocks, nodes and confirmation counts.
EVM & Smart Contracts
Addresses, gas, contracts and token approvals.
Layer 2 Basics
Mainnet relationships, bridges and arrival checks.
DApp Approvals
Review approval target, amount and revocation.
Wallet Security
Combine backup, device and transaction checks.

Ethereum & PoS
Understand validators and network rules before deciding whether to participate
Staking does not guarantee returns. Rewards can change, exits may involve waiting, validators may face network penalties, and smart contracts or third-party services carry technical risk.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Learn about Ethereum PoS, validators, reward sources, network state, withdrawals and exits without treating network rewards as a fixed-yield or principal-protected product.
Read the basics →What to Understand Before Participating
Network penalties, validator state, smart-contract risk, waiting periods, asset-price volatility and third-party service risk can all affect outcomes.

Put the useful information first
When no verified date is available, use neutral labels instead of inventing partnerships, financing, licenses, user counts or market rankings.
Wallet and network learning paths reorganized
Task-oriented navigation connects wallet, network, Web3 and security concepts more directly.
Support should never ask for a seed phrase or private key
Stop any flow that asks for account-control credentials and verify the entry point again.
Same-name assets do not imply the same network
Verify the network, contract and recipient support before transferring.
Downloads use one /download.html entry point
Content pages do not reveal the final mobile download destination.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers focus on practical decisions around wallet control, network selection, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals.
Where are wallet assets actually stored?
Assets are generally recorded on the blockchain. The wallet manages account control, constructs transactions and reads network state.
How are seed phrases and private keys different?
Both relate to account control and should never be sent to anyone or submitted into a web form.
Why must I verify the network before a transfer?
Similar address formats may exist on different networks, and sending through the wrong network can be difficult or impossible to recover.
Who receives gas fees?
Gas reflects network execution and block resources; it is not simply a fixed wallet service charge.
What is a transaction hash for?
It identifies an on-chain transaction and can be used in a suitable block explorer to check status, block and confirmations.
Can I approve signatures automatically after connecting a DApp?
No. Connection, message signing, transaction signing and token approval are different actions and should be reviewed separately.
Should approvals be reviewed later?
Yes. Consider revoking permissions you no longer use and check the approval target, amount and contract address.
Does Ethereum staking guarantee returns?
No. Rewards, waiting periods, validator state, network penalties and digital-asset prices can all change.
