Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Manage assets across multiple networks, verify network context before transfers, connect to DApps with deliberate approval review, and build a practical understanding of blockchain networks, gas, transaction records, and wallet security.
Start with a task
Five practical starting points
Choose the task you are trying to complete, then review the network and security context before acting.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your control and prefer offline backup methods.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Confirm the receiving address and network together before sharing an address with a sender.
Open guide →Send Assets
Review the destination, network, amount, and gas before creating a transfer.
Open guide →Connect to a DApp
Check the domain, account request, network, signature details, and permission scope independently.
Open guide →Wallet capabilities
See assets, networks, transfers and security as one workflow
Multi-chain assets
Understand network differences, confirm addresses in context, and read transaction confirmations before deciding that an asset has arrived.
Learn about multi-chain use →
imtoken App
View assets, manage networks, review transaction records, and approach DApp connections with clear checks.
Send & Receive
Treat address, network, amount, gas, and transaction hash as one verification chain.
Transfer guide →imtoken Web
Browser connections should be reviewed by domain, account request, network, permission, and session state.
Web connection guide →Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your control, prefer offline backup, and independently review every signature and approval.

Explore networks
Read every transaction in its network context
Network selection changes fees, confirmation paths, contract context, and how you verify an operation.
Multi-chain
Multi-chain
Understand why network context matters when the same asset label can exist on different chains.
Explore network guides →Public Chains
Public Chains
Learn how nodes, blocks, transactions, confirmations, and explorers describe public-chain state.

EVM
EVM
Connect addresses, gas, smart contracts, tokens, and approvals into one practical EVM model.

Layer 2
Layer 2
Understand the base-layer relationship, bridging, cross-layer transfers, and confirmation paths.

Gas & Confirmations
Gas & Confirmations
Read fees and confirmation status as network conditions rather than fixed values.

Six steps from setup to ongoing review
01
Get imtoken
Start from the official download entry and avoid download links sent by unknown third parties.
02
Create or import a wallet
Choose whether you are creating a new wallet or importing one you already control.
03
Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline and never send a private key to another person.
04
Choose and verify the network
Confirm the intended chain before you copy an address or start a transfer.
05
Receive or send assets
Check address, network, amount, gas, and the expected asset before submitting.
06
Review transactions and approvals
Use transaction hashes for verification and remove approvals 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, network, request content, and permission scope each time.
Open Web3 guide- Visit the DApp
- Confirm the domain
- Start the connection
- Review the account request
- Inspect the signature or approval
- Complete the intended action
- Disconnect sessions you no longer need
A wallet connection is a session, not blanket permission. Review every signature and approval independently.
Security
Protect the credentials and decisions only you control
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your control. Avoid sending them through chat, cloud notes, screenshots, or support conversations. Before transfers, signatures, or approvals, verify the network, address, request details, and permission scope. On-chain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet alone, and third-party DApps and smart contracts can carry their own risks.
Open Security Center- Back up the seed phrase offline
- Never disclose a private key
- Verify network and address
- Review signature requests
- Manage DApp approvals

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps, and approvals. These concepts are connected: an address is used on a network, a transfer creates a transaction, a transaction receives confirmations, and a DApp may request a signature or token approval. Learning the relationships makes it easier to recognize when an interface request does not match your intended action.
Read the getting-started guide →Ethereum & PoS
Ethereum Staking Basics
Understand Ethereum PoS, validator responsibilities, reward sources, network status, withdrawals, and exit flows before considering participation.
Learn about Ethereum staking →Know before participating
Staking does not guarantee returns. Rewards may change, exits may require waiting, validators can be subject to network penalties, smart contracts carry technical risk, digital asset prices can fluctuate, and third-party services can add independent risk.

Information that affects how you use the wallet
Recent Update
Wallet operation guidance
Review wallet setup, network selection, transfers, and transaction lookup from the knowledge center.
Network Notice
Check the active network before sending
Network context affects address handling, fees, contract interaction, and where a transaction can be verified.
Security Notice
Review every signature and approval
A previous connection does not justify a new signature or token approval automatically.

FAQ
Common questions
Answers are kept directly in the page so the core information remains easy to read and review.
No. Seed phrases and private keys remain under your control. Do not send them to support agents, websites, or third-party applications.
An address is used within a specific network context. The sender and receiver should confirm the intended network before a transfer.
Gas is the execution fee mechanism used by many blockchain networks. The amount can vary with network conditions and transaction complexity.
A transaction hash is an identifier for an on-chain transaction and can be used to check status in an appropriate block explorer.
No. A connection only establishes a session. Each signature and approval should be reviewed independently.
A token approval allows a specified contract or address to spend a defined amount or scope of a token, subject to the network and contract design.
No. Rewards can change, exits may involve waiting, validators can be penalized, and smart contracts or third-party services can carry risks.
Generally no. Once confirmed by the network, an on-chain transfer cannot usually be unilaterally reversed by a wallet.
