Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Understand how assets, network selection, sending and receiving, DApp connections, approvals and wallet security fit together. imtoken brings practical wallet workflows and network knowledge into one clear place.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep recovery material offline and never send it to anyone.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Verify the receiving address and network before sharing it.
Open guide →Send Assets
Check the destination, network, amount and fee before signing.
Open guide →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain and review every signature or approval separately.
Open guide →Wallet capabilities
Move between assets, networks and Web3 with context
A wallet is most useful when each action can be understood in context: what network is active, what address or contract is involved, and what result will be written on-chain.
Multi-chain assets
Keep network differences visible when viewing balances, receiving assets or reviewing confirmations. Similar-looking addresses do not remove the need to verify the network.
Send & Receive
Check the receiving address, network, amount, gas and transaction hash as one continuous flow.
Transfer guide →imtoken App
Use the mobile wallet to review networks, assets, activity and DApp requests while keeping sensitive recovery material private.
imtoken Web · Security
Browser connections make DApp access convenient, but each signature and approval remains a separate decision. Offline backups, private-key protection and approval review should be part of the same routine.
Blockchain networks
Understand the network before the action
Network selection affects fees, confirmation rules, contract compatibility and the path assets take.
Multi-chain
Different networks can use different fee assets, token contracts and confirmation rules. Verify the network before you copy an address, send an asset or approve a contract.
Public Chains
Nodes propagate transactions, blocks record ordered state changes, and confirmations provide evidence that a transaction has been included and built upon.
EVM
EVM-compatible networks share an execution model, yet gas assets, chain IDs, contract deployments and bridges can differ. Compatibility does not make networks interchangeable.
Layer 2
Layer 2 systems extend transaction capacity with different technical designs. Cross-layer transfers can introduce bridges, separate confirmation states and waiting periods.
Gas & confirmations
Fees reflect network execution rules and demand. A submitted transaction should be tracked by its hash rather than by page messages alone.

Create or import
Understand what recovery material controls and keep it private.
Back up offline
Store the seed phrase offline and never disclose a private key.
Choose the network
Verify the active network before receiving, sending or connecting.
Receive or send
Check the address, network, amount and gas before confirmation.
Review activity and approvals
Keep transaction hashes and remove permissions you no longer need.
Web3 & DApp
Treat every request as a separate decision
Connecting a wallet does not mean every later signature or approval should be accepted. Review the domain, account request, signature content and permission scope one by one.
A wallet connection is not blanket consent. Review every signature and approval separately.
Visit the DApp
Confirm the domain and source.
Start the connection
Choose the intended account and network.
Review account access
Understand what information is being requested.
Check signatures or approvals
Read the request and permission scope.
Complete the action
Confirm only when details match your intent.
Disconnect when finished
Remove connections and unneeded approvals.
Security
Security is a sequence of checks, not a promise
Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control. imtoken staff will never ask for them. Before transfers, signatures or approvals, verify the network, destination and request scope. On-chain transactions usually cannot be reversed by a wallet unilaterally, and third-party DApps or smart contracts may introduce additional risk.

Understand staking before participating
Ethereum Staking fundamentals
Ethereum PoS uses validators to perform consensus duties. Rewards come from protocol-defined activity and can change with network conditions. Withdrawal and exit processes can involve queues or waiting.
Learn staking basics →Know the risks first
Validators can be penalized, smart contracts can contain technical risk, third-party services can fail, exits may be delayed, and digital-asset prices can move substantially. Staking does not guarantee returns.

FAQ
Common questions, practical answers
A digital wallet manages blockchain accounts and signing operations. Assets live on the network; the wallet controls the keys used to authorize actions for an address.
A seed phrase can derive keys and addresses, while a private key represents direct control over a specific account. Both are highly sensitive.
Similar addresses can exist across different networks, while token standards, fee assets and settlement paths may differ.
Gas represents the computational cost of executing a transaction or smart-contract operation. Actual fees depend on network rules and congestion.
A transaction hash identifies an on-chain transaction and can be used in a block explorer to check status, block height and confirmations.
Network congestion, fee settings, propagation or the network’s block-production state can all affect confirmation time.
A connection commonly shares permitted account context, but any later signature, transaction or approval request still needs separate review.
