Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Explore multi-chain assets, network selection, transfers, DApps, approvals, blockchain concepts and wallet security with clear, verifiable guidance.
Start from the task you need to complete
Five common actions are organized as a short path so you can open the relevant guide without searching through unrelated material.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep recovery material offline and separate from everyday browsing devices.
Learn more →Receive Assets
Confirm the network and address before sharing a receiving destination.
Learn more →Send Assets
Review address, network, amount, gas and the resulting transaction hash.
Learn more →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain and review each signature or approval separately.
Learn more →Wallet capabilities in real use
Different capabilities are presented by role rather than repeated as identical feature tiles.
Multi-chain assets
Understand network differences, address checks and confirmations before you move assets across separate chains.
Send & receive
Check the receiving address, network, amount, gas and transaction hash as separate pieces of evidence.
imtoken APP
Manage networks, asset views, transaction history and DApp activity from a mobile workflow.
imtoken Web
Review browser connections, account requests, approvals and disconnect actions without repeating the mobile product view.
Wallet security
Keep recovery material offline, review approvals and never send a seed phrase or private key to anyone.
Explore blockchain networks
Compare network concepts through a focused reading path while keeping the full knowledge content available on the page.
Multi-chain is about separate states, not one shared balance
Networks can use similar address formats while keeping separate ledgers, fee assets and confirmation rules. Always identify the network explicitly.
Blocks, nodes and confirmations
A public chain records transactions through distributed nodes and blocks. A block explorer helps verify when and where a transaction was included.
EVM execution and contracts
EVM networks share a compatible execution environment, but contracts, gas assets and chain state still belong to each individual network.
Layer 2 and cross-layer transfers
Moving assets between a base chain and Layer 2 can involve bridge contracts, different confirmation stages and waiting periods.
Gas and confirmation are separate questions
Gas relates to execution cost; confirmations describe how deeply a transaction has been included in the chain. Check both when evaluating status.
A practical wallet path
Each step includes a specific verification point rather than relying on a generic next button.
Get imtoken
Use the official download entry and review the page before continuing.
Create or import a wallet
Create a new wallet or import an existing one without sharing recovery material.
Back up the wallet offline
Store the seed phrase offline and never send a private key to another person.
Select and verify the network
Check the network name, address format and fee asset before moving funds.
Receive or send assets
Verify the destination, amount and network before confirming a transfer.
Review transactions and approvals
Use the transaction hash to review status and periodically remove approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApps
A wallet connection is only the beginning of the review
Connecting a wallet does not mean every later signature or approval should be accepted. Treat each request as a separate decision.
Every signature and approval should be reviewed independently.
Open the Web3 guide →- Visit the DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start the connection
- Review account requests
- Check signatures or approvals
- Complete the intended action
- Disconnect sessions you no longer need
Security
Protect recovery material and verify every sensitive action
Wallet security is built from repeatable habits: keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control, separate backup material from routine browsing, verify addresses and networks before sending, and review the exact purpose of every DApp signature or token approval. Public devices, unknown remote-control tools and unsolicited support messages can increase risk. On-chain transactions are usually not reversible by a wallet after confirmation, so prevention and verification matter more than after-the-fact recovery claims.

Academy
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals. Understanding how these concepts connect makes later actions easier to verify.
Read the beginner guide →Ethereum & PoS
Understand staking as a network mechanism, not a guaranteed-return product.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Ethereum PoS uses validators to participate in consensus. Reward sources, validator status, withdrawals and exit queues can change with network conditions and protocol rules.
Learn Ethereum staking →Understand before participating
Staking does not guarantee returns. Network penalties, validator operation, smart-contract risk, waiting periods, asset-price volatility and third-party service risk all matter.
Learn PoS and validators →Product and security updates
Updates are presented without invented dates, user counts, partnerships or rankings.

Frequently asked questions
What is a wallet?
A digital wallet manages addresses, signing capability associated with private keys, and views of on-chain assets. The assets themselves are recorded on blockchain networks; the wallet helps you view them and submit signed actions.
Why is a seed phrase important?
A seed phrase can typically restore control of a wallet. Anyone who obtains it may gain control over the related assets, so it should be stored offline and never uploaded to an unfamiliar site or sent to another person.
Can I give a private key to support?
No. imtoken staff will never ask for a private key, seed phrase or verification code. Stop immediately if anyone requests these details and verify the source independently.
How do I verify the correct network?
Before sending or receiving, compare the network supported by the asset, the network specified by the counterparty, and the network currently selected in the wallet. Similar-looking addresses can exist on separate networks.
What should I check before sending?
Check the destination address, network, asset, amount and estimated network fee. For a large transfer, a smaller test transaction can reduce the impact of an input mistake.
What is gas?
Gas measures the computation and storage resources required for on-chain execution. The fee can vary with network congestion, transaction complexity and the fee model used by the network.
What is a transaction hash used for?
A transaction hash is a unique identifier for an on-chain transaction. It can be used in a block explorer for the relevant network to review status, block height, addresses, amounts and execution results.
