Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Bring multi-chain assets, network selection, sending and receiving, DApp connections, approval management and network knowledge into one clear workflow, with wallet security checks before every action.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep the seed phrase offline and out of chats or cloud sharing.
View steps →Receive Assets
Confirm the network before copying and checking the receiving address.
View steps →Send Assets
Review address, network, amount and gas before sending.
View steps →Connect to a DApp
Review every signature and approval even after connecting.
View steps →Wallet capabilities
Understand the wallet through real tasks, from assets to approvals
Different tasks need different information, so networks, assets, transactions and connections are not treated as the same action.
Multi-chain assets
Recognize network differences, address formats, asset context and confirmations before acting.
Send & receive
Receiving addresses, networks, amounts, gas and transaction hashes each serve a different purpose.
Learn transfer checks →imtoken APP
Review assets, manage networks, inspect activity and connect to DApps when needed.
imtoken Web
A browser connection is not an asset approval; every signature and permission request still needs its own review.
Understand web connections →
Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your control; avoid screenshots, cloud exposure and unfamiliar input forms.
Blockchain networks
Choose the right network before discussing assets and transactions
Multi-chain
Understand how assets, fees and confirmations differ across networks.
Review the network name, address, gas asset and block explorer together rather than relying on an icon or token name.
Learn more →Public chains
Read public ledgers through nodes, blocks, transactions and explorers.
Review the network name, address, gas asset and block explorer together rather than relying on an icon or token name.

EVM
A similar account model does not make network state or token contracts identical.
Review the network name, address, gas asset and block explorer together rather than relying on an icon or token name.

Layer 2
Understand base-layer relationships, cross-layer movement and bridge steps.
Review the network name, address, gas asset and block explorer together rather than relying on an icon or token name.

Gas & confirmations
Fees, pending state and confirmation count describe different transaction stages.
Review the network name, address, gas asset and block explorer together rather than relying on an icon or token name.

Break wallet use into six reviewable steps
01
Get imtoken
Start from a trusted official entry point rather than an unsolicited link.
02
Create or import a wallet
Handle sensitive recovery credentials only in a trusted wallet environment.
03
Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline and never disclose a private key.
04
Select and verify the network
Confirm the destination network, address format and gas asset.
05
Receive or send assets
Review address, network, amount and fee before sending.
06
Review transactions and approvals
Verify results with the transaction hash and review approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApp
Connection is only the beginning; review every request on its own
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review each signature and approval independently.
Open the Web3 guide →Open the DApp
Verify the domain
Start the connection
Review the account request
Inspect signature or approval
Complete the action
Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Security comes from continuous review, not a one-time setting
Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control, and official staff will not ask for them. Verify address, network and amount before a transfer, read DApp requests before signing, and review approvals that are no longer needed. Public devices, untrusted networks, remote control and unfamiliar links all widen the risk surface, making repeatable security habits essential.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals before moving into real on-chain actions. A clear conceptual order makes it easier to identify whether an issue sits in the wallet interface, network state or a contract request.

Ethereum & PoS
Understand validator duties and risk before staking mechanics
Ethereum Staking Basics
Ethereum PoS relies on validators participating in consensus. Rewards come from protocol duties, while withdrawals and exits depend on protocol mechanics and network conditions.
Learn about Ethereum staking →Know before participating
Staking does not guarantee returns. Validators may face network penalties, exits can involve waiting, smart contracts and third-party services carry technical risk, and digital-asset prices can fluctuate.

Product, security and network information before date labels
Recent Update
Network and asset information should be separated so display state is not mistaken for on-chain fact.

Before sending, confirm that the destination network matches what the receiver supports.

Frequently asked questions
A wallet manages blockchain accounts, displays assets and prepares signatures or transactions. The underlying asset records live on blockchain networks rather than being stored inside the wallet application.
A private key controls a specific account, while a seed phrase commonly derives and restores a group of accounts. Both are highly sensitive and should never be sent to another person.
Offline backup reduces exposure to screenshot syncing, cloud compromise and some forms of malware, although physical loss, damage and unauthorized access still need to be considered.
Several EVM networks use the same address format, but their state and asset records are separate. A matching address does not make assets automatically exist across networks.
At minimum, verify the destination address, destination network, asset and amount, and make sure the request is actually a transfer rather than an approval or another contract call.
Gas is the network cost associated with executing a transaction or smart-contract operation. It can change with network conditions and execution complexity and is separate from the transfer amount.
A transaction hash is a key identifier for checking an on-chain transaction in the relevant block explorer, including status, block inclusion, addresses and fees.
