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 organize multi-chain asset activity, choose the correct network, send and receive assets, connect to DApps and understand approvals. The knowledge center explains how networks, transaction confirmation and wallet security fit together without treating every request as a routine click.
Quick Tasks
Common wallet tasks
Start from what you need to do. Each path explains the operation and the checks that matter before it reaches the chain.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep the seed phrase offline, verify its order and avoid cloud or chat copies.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Confirm both the receiving address and the intended network with the sender.
Open guide →Send Assets
Review the address, network, asset, amount and gas before submission.
Open guide →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain, account, network and every signature or approval request.
Open guide →Wallet & Assets
Wallet capabilities without losing network context
A wallet should help you see assets, understand transactions and manage Web3 access while keeping control credentials under your own custody.
Multi-chain assets
See balances in the correct network context and distinguish token identity by contract rather than symbol alone.
Send & receive
Check the receiving address, network, amount, gas and transaction hash as one complete workflow.
Transfer guide →imtoken APP
Manage networks, inspect assets and review transaction history from a mobile wallet interface.
imtoken Web
Use browser-based wallet connections with explicit account, network, signature and approval review. Disconnecting a session does not automatically revoke on-chain approvals.
imtoken Web →Wallet security
Keep recovery material offline and treat every signature as a separate decision.
Networks
Explore blockchain networks
Network choice changes fees, confirmations, contracts and asset context. Use the topics below to understand what changes when you move between environments.
Multi-chain
Multi-chain access does not make assets automatically interoperable. Each network has its own state, fees and contract environment, so context must be rechecked after switching.
Learn the network →Public Chains
Public chains use distributed nodes to maintain shared state. Transactions are propagated, included in blocks and confirmed under the rules of that network.
Learn the network →
EVM
EVM networks share a compatible execution model, but each chain still has its own gas asset, chain ID, contracts and transaction history.
Learn the network →
Layer 2
Layer 2 systems expand capacity in different ways. Bridge routes, withdrawal waits, data publication and finality should be understood for the specific system.

Usage Path
A practical wallet path
Six steps connect installation, custody, network choice, transfers and permission review into one repeatable process.
Get imtoken
Use this site’s download entry rather than an unknown third-party page.
Create or Import
Only use a trusted wallet interface and never type recovery material into an ordinary website.
Back Up Offline
Record the seed phrase offline and verify it without screenshots, chat apps or cloud storage.
Choose the Network
Confirm network name, chain ID, gas asset and the DApp’s supported environment.
Receive or Send
Check the address, network, amount and fee; consider a small test on a new route.
Review Transactions and Approvals
Keep the transaction hash, verify chain status and remove permissions that are no longer needed.
Web3 & DApp
Treat every Web3 request as a separate decision
Connecting a wallet, signing a message, signing a transaction and approving a token are different actions. Review them independently.
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review each signature and approval independently.
- Visit the DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start the connection
- Review the requested account
- Inspect the signature or approval
- Complete the intended action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Security is a routine, not a promise
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control, review transaction details, protect the device and assume third-party DApps and smart contracts can introduce risk.

Academy
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Before moving assets, understand addresses, recovery material, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals. These concepts explain where value is recorded, what a wallet can sign and how to verify a result independently.
Read the starter guide →Public chains and transaction confirmations
See how blocks, nodes and confirmations determine public transaction state.
EVM and smart contracts
Understand addresses, gas, contract calls and token approvals.
Layer 2 basics
Compare base-chain relationships, bridge routes and withdrawal behavior.
DApp approvals
Learn why connection and spending permission are different.
Wallet security
Build a routine around recovery material, devices and request review.
Blockchain glossary

Ethereum · PoS
Ethereum and Proof of Stake
Understand protocol mechanics before considering participation. Staking does not guarantee returns, rewards can change and exits may involve waiting.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Learn how Proof of Stake, validators, reward sources, network state, withdrawals and exits relate to one another.
Read staking basics →What to understand before participating
Validator penalties, technical risk, waiting periods, smart-contract dependencies, third-party service risk and digital-asset volatility can all matter.

Product and security updates
Updates focus on product, network, security and service information without invented dates or unverified corporate claims.
Recent Update
Wallet guidance and network information are organized around clearer task paths.
Network Notice
Verify chain ID, gas asset and the destination network before a multi-chain transfer.
Security Notice
imtoken will not ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code.
Service Notice
Use public transaction information for troubleshooting and keep recovery material private.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to wallet, network, transaction, Web3 and security questions.
Digital assets are recorded on their respective blockchains. A wallet manages keys, addresses and signatures, then presents public chain data in a usable interface.
You do. imtoken staff will not ask for them, and they should never be sent through a website, chat, email or support workflow.
Recovery cannot be guaranteed. A seed phrase or private key is a control credential, so a reliable offline backup should be completed before significant value is moved.
Each network has separate state. Even when the address format is the same, balances, contracts and transaction histories belong to different chains.
Gas is the network execution budget for a transaction or smart-contract call and is typically paid using the fee asset required by that network.
Network congestion, fee settings, nonce ordering or node propagation can all matter. Use the transaction hash on the relevant block explorer to inspect public status.
It is a primary index for checking public on-chain details such as status, block inclusion, sender, recipient and fees.
Usually not. Once confirmed by the network, a blockchain transfer generally cannot be unilaterally reversed by the wallet, so pre-send checks are important.
