Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
Manage assets across networks, understand receiving and sending, choose the right chain, connect to DApps, review approvals and build practical wallet security habits.
Start with a task
Five common wallet tasks
Back Up a Wallet
Verify every seed word and keep the backup away from online storage.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Share the address together with the intended network.
Open guide →Send Assets
Review address, network, amount and gas before signing.
Open guide →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain and review each signature or approval separately.
Open guide →Wallet capabilities
One wallet, different on-chain responsibilities
Multi-chain assets
Separate networks keep separate ledgers. Verify network, address and confirmation state.
Send & receive
Review address, network, amount, gas and transaction hash as one workflow.
imtoken App
Manage networks, assets, history and DApp sessions while keeping recovery material offline.
imtoken Web
A connection starts a session; signatures and approvals still require separate review.
Wallet security
Protect seed phrases offline and treat every signing request as a new decision.
Explore networks
Know which chain you are using before moving assets
Multi-chain networks
The same account can appear on multiple chains while each chain keeps independent balances and history.
Public chains
Nodes validate transactions, blocks organize them and confirmations reduce uncertainty.
EVM
EVM networks share an execution model, but chain IDs, gas assets and balances remain separate.
Layer 2
Layer 2 has its own deposit, withdrawal and bridge paths relative to the base chain.
Gas & confirmations
Fees reflect execution resources, while confirmation depth depends on the chain and use case.
Wallet path
Six steps from setup to ongoing review
Get imtoken
Use the download entry on this site and keep the installation source verifiable.
Create or import a wallet
Create or import only a wallet you control and never expose secret recovery material.
Back up offline
Store the seed phrase offline and never send it to support staff, websites or strangers.
Select and verify the network
Check the target chain, gas asset and receiving address before moving funds.
Receive or send assets
For larger transfers, consider a small test and re-check copied addresses.
Review transactions and approvals
Track transaction hashes and periodically remove approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApps
A connection is the start of a review, not the end
Treat every domain check, account request, signature and approval as its own decision.
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted.
- Open the DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start the connection
- Review account requests
- Inspect signatures or approvals
- Complete the action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Security comes from repeatable checks
Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control. Official staff will not ask for them. Review address, network, amount, domain and permission scope before transfers, signatures or approvals.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases and private keys, then learn networks, gas and transaction hashes before moving into DApps and approvals.
Start learning →Public chains and confirmations
Understand blocks and confirmation depth.
EVM and smart contracts
Understand gas, contracts and approvals.
Layer 2 fundamentals
Learn deposits, exits and bridges.
DApp approvals
Review spenders and allowances.
Wallet security
Build backup and transfer checks.
Blockchain glossary
Connect common terms to real actions.
Ethereum & PoS
Understand staking before evaluating participation
Ethereum Staking
Rewards are variable and participation can involve waiting periods, penalties, contract risk and price volatility.
Before participating
Staking does not guarantee returns. Validator status, withdrawal queues and third-party service structure all matter.
Updates
Product, network, security and service notices
Recent Update
Wallet guidance now groups network checks with transaction review.
Network Notice
Verify the active chain and gas asset before cross-network activity.

Product Notice
Staking education explains exits and penalties without guaranteed-return claims.
FAQ
Common questions
A seed phrase can derive multiple accounts and private keys, while a private key signs for an account. Neither should be submitted to a website, support agent or stranger.
Similar address formats can exist on separate chains, but balances are independent. The wrong network can route assets into an unintended environment.
Gas mainly pays for on-chain execution and validation resources. It is not automatically a fixed wallet service fee and changes with network conditions.
A transaction hash can be checked on the matching block explorer for status, confirmations, sender, recipient and contract events.
No. A connection usually establishes a session; later signatures, approvals and transactions still require separate review.
An approval allows a spender contract to move tokens within a limit. Broader and longer-lived permissions create more potential exposure.
Many EVM networks share similar address models, but they remain separate chains with independent balances, gas assets and histories.
