Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Manage multi-chain assets, choose the right network, send and receive transactions, connect to DApps, review approvals, and learn the network and security concepts behind each action.
Back Up a Wallet
Create an offline recovery backup and verify that no seed phrase is stored in cloud or chat tools.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Confirm the receiving address and network before asking another party to send funds.
Open guide →Send Assets
Check the destination, network, amount, gas and transaction details before confirming.
Open guide →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain, requested account scope and each signature or approval separately.
Open guide →Wallet capabilities built around real tasks
From network-aware asset views to transaction records and DApp interactions, each capability is easier to use when the underlying on-chain meaning is clear.
Multi-chain assets
Compare network identity, address formats and confirmation behavior before moving assets.
Send & receive
Review the receiving address, network, amount, gas and transaction hash as separate fields.
imtoken App
Use a mobile interface to view assets, manage networks, review transaction history and connect to DApps.
imtoken Web
Browser connections should make account scope, signature requests, approvals and disconnecting understandable before confirmation.
Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys offline, then review every DApp approval as a separate permission decision.
Explore blockchain networks
Network names are only the starting point. Check the chain context, gas model, confirmation behavior and transfer route before moving assets.
Multi-chain
Compare networks by purpose, address behavior, native gas asset and confirmation model.
Read the guide →Public Chains
Nodes, blocks, transactions and consensus form the public verification path for on-chain state.

EVM
EVM-compatible networks can share address and contract patterns while maintaining independent chain state.

Layer 2
Layer 2 networks improve scalability but may add bridge, settlement and withdrawal considerations.

Gas & Confirmations
Fees and confirmation state should be read together with the target network and transaction hash.
Read the guide →A six-step wallet path
A repeatable sequence helps users separate setup, backup, network checks, transfers and permission maintenance.
Get imtoken
Use the official download entry and review the product scope before setup.
Create or import a wallet
Understand whether you are creating a new account or importing an existing recovery phrase.
Create an offline backup
Keep the seed phrase offline and never send the private key to another person.
Choose and verify the network
Confirm the target network and address format before moving funds.
Receive or send assets
Review address, network, amount and gas before the final confirmation.
Review transactions and approvals
Check the transaction hash and periodically remove approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApp
Treat every signature as a separate decision
Connecting a wallet does not mean every later request should be accepted. Verify the domain, requested account access, signature text and approval scope each time.
Security note: Every signature and approval should be reviewed independently.

Security
Security starts with control of keys and careful review of requests
A seed phrase and private key should remain under the user’s control. imtoken staff will not ask for them. Before transfers, verify the address, network and amount. Before DApp actions, inspect the signature or approval target and scope. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet provider, so careful review before confirmation matters.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with the relationship between addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas and transaction hashes. Then learn how DApp connections and token approvals extend wallet usage into Web3. Understanding these terms as a workflow makes it easier to spot mismatched networks, unexpected permissions and unsafe requests.
Read the starter guide →Ethereum and Proof of Stake
Understand validators, reward sources, withdrawals, exits, penalties and smart-contract risks before considering participation.
Ethereum Staking Fundamentals
Ethereum PoS uses validators to participate in consensus. Rewards depend on network rules and conditions, while withdrawals and exits can involve protocol-defined processes and waiting periods.

Staking does not guarantee returns. Validator penalties, smart-contract risk, waiting time, third-party service risk and digital asset price volatility should all be considered.

Frequently asked questions
Key questions about wallets, networks, transactions, DApps and security.
A digital wallet manages on-chain accounts and signing authority. Assets are recorded on blockchain networks, while the wallet helps users manage keys, addresses, networks and transaction actions.
A seed phrase can usually derive one or more account keys, while a private key directly controls a specific account. Both are highly sensitive and should be stored offline rather than in screenshots, cloud drives or chat messages.
No. Users are responsible for their seed phrase and private keys. imtoken staff will not ask for them and cannot recover a private key on the user’s behalf.
Many EVM-compatible networks use the same address format, but balances, gas assets and chain state are independent. Always verify the destination network.
Gas is the pricing mechanism for the computation needed to execute transactions or smart-contract operations. Actual cost depends on network conditions, transaction complexity and fee parameters.
A transaction hash is a public identifier that can be checked in a block explorer to review status, confirmations and execution results.
The transaction may still be pending, or you may be viewing a different network or token contract. Check the transaction hash, network and confirmation state first.
