Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Use imtoken to understand multi-chain assets, choose the correct network, send and receive assets, inspect transaction records, connect to DApps, review approvals and build safer wallet habits. Each action should begin with checking the address, network and request details.
Back Up a Wallet
Record recovery material offline, verify it carefully and keep it away from screenshots or shared cloud folders.
Learn more →Receive Assets
Match the receiving address with the selected network and confirm the asset contract when needed.
Learn more →Send Assets
Check the address, network, amount and gas before confirming an on-chain transfer.
Learn more →Connect to a DApp
Verify the site domain, account request, signature meaning and approval scope before accepting.

From holding assets to understanding every on-chain action
Multi-chain assets
Networks may use similar address formats while having different gas assets, confirmation rules and token contracts. Select the intended network first, then compare the address and asset details.
Understand multi-chain networks →Send and receive
A transfer involves the receiving address, network, amount, gas and a transaction hash after submission.
Follow the transfer checklist →imtoken APP
Review assets, manage networks, inspect transaction records and approach DApp requests from a mobile wallet workflow.

Browser connections should keep the user in control of account access, signatures, approvals and disconnection.
Understand browser connections →Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control, prefer offline backup and regularly review unnecessary approvals.
Open the security center →BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS
Choose a network by understanding how it actually works
Multi-chain is not one single network
A wallet can display assets across several networks, but each network has its own state, fees and confirmation process. Always select the intended chain before receiving or sending.
Read the guide →A public chain maintains an independent ledger
Nodes propagate transactions, blocks organize them and confirmations increase as new blocks build on the transaction history. Explorers help verify what the network recorded.

EVM compatibility shapes addresses and contracts
EVM networks commonly use compatible account formats and smart-contract logic, yet token contracts, chain identifiers and gas conditions still differ by network.
Read the guide →
Layer 2 changes where transactions are processed
Layer 2 systems process activity with a relationship to a base layer. Moving assets between layers may involve bridges, separate confirmation stages and waiting periods.
Read the guide →
Gas pays for network computation and inclusion
Gas conditions change with network demand. A submitted transaction receives a hash that can be checked in a suitable block explorer while confirmations accumulate.

Six steps from setup to ongoing checks
Get imtoken
Use the download entry, then confirm you are operating within the expected product context before proceeding.
Create or import a wallet
Understand whether you are creating a new wallet or restoring one and never expose recovery material to a webpage.
Back up offline
Record the seed phrase offline, protect the private key and avoid screenshots or sharing through chat.
Choose and verify the network
Match the destination network with the address and asset before making a transfer.
Receive or send assets
Confirm the amount and gas, then keep the transaction hash for status checks.
Review transactions and approvals
Inspect transaction history and remove DApp approvals that are no longer needed.
WEB3 & DAPP
Treat every request as a separate decision
Connecting a wallet does not mean every later request should be accepted. Verify the DApp domain, requested account access, signature text, transaction details and approval scope each time.
Open the Web3 guide →01 · Visit the DApp
02 · Verify the domain
03 · Start a connection
04 · Review the account request
05 · Inspect the signature or approval
06 · Complete the intended action
07 · Disconnect unused connections
SECURITY FIRST
Security is a sequence of checks, not a promise
A wallet cannot make third-party websites, contracts or networks risk-free. Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control, use offline backup, verify every transfer, read signatures before accepting and review approvals over time. Public devices, public Wi-Fi and remote-control tools add extra exposure and should be used cautiously.

- Never disclose the private key
- Verify the network and address
- Review every signature request
- Manage DApp approvals
ACADEMY
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with the relationship among an address, seed phrase and private key. Then learn why networks matter, what gas pays for, how a transaction hash helps you inspect status, and why DApp connections and token approvals deserve separate checks. This order makes later operations easier to reason about instead of turning wallet use into a sequence of unexplained buttons.

Ethereum staking fundamentals
Ethereum proof of stake uses validators to participate in consensus. Rewards can come from protocol activity, while validator status, withdrawal mechanics and exit queues affect when assets or rewards become available. Staking does not guarantee returns, and rewards can change.
Read the staking guide →BEFORE PARTICIPATING
Risk, waiting periods and validator status
Validator penalties, smart-contract risk, exit waiting times, market volatility and third-party service risk should be considered independently. Participation should be based on personal circumstances rather than fixed-yield expectations.

Product notes, network reminders and security guidance
Wallet use guidance
Review wallet creation, backup and transaction-record workflows.
Network selection reminder
Check the intended chain and gas asset before sending or receiving.
Approval review
Inspect the approval target, permission scope and whether an old approval is still needed.
Support information
Use the support center for product guidance without sharing recovery credentials.
FAQ
Questions worth understanding before you act
You do. Keep them under your own control and never send them to support staff, websites, chat contacts or anyone else.
The same-looking address can appear across compatible networks while the ledger, gas asset and token contract differ. Confirm the network explicitly.
Generally no. Once accepted by the network, a wallet normally cannot unilaterally reverse it. Verify the destination before submission.
It identifies a submitted transaction and can be used with a suitable block explorer to inspect its network status.
No. Treat each signature, transaction and approval as a separate decision and inspect it independently.
Review the requesting contract or DApp, permission scope, token and amount, and whether the access is actually needed.
