Multi-chain assets
Know which network holds the asset, then verify the address and confirmation state.

Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Organize multi-chain assets, choose the correct network, send and receive with verifiable transaction details, connect to DApps, review approvals and build a stronger understanding of wallet security.
05
Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain, then review every signature and approval separately.
Open guide →Wallet capabilities for real tasks
A wallet is most useful when assets, networks, transaction details and security checks are understood together.
Send & receive
Review the receiving address, selected network, amount, gas and transaction hash.
imtoken APP
Mobile access to assets, networks, history and DApp connections.
Wallet security
Seed phrases and private keys belong under the user’s control. imtoken personnel will never request them.
imtoken Web
Treat browser connections, signatures and approvals as separate decisions.
Explore blockchain networks
Network choice affects fees, confirmations, contracts and where an asset actually exists.
Know where the asset lives
The same account can appear across networks, but balances and contracts remain network-specific.
Blocks, nodes and confirmations
Public chains record transactions through a shared consensus process that can be checked with an explorer.
EVM does not mean one network
Compatible networks can share account formats while using different gas markets and contracts.
Layer 2 and mainnet
Cross-layer transfers can involve bridges, separate confirmation rules and waiting periods.
Fees and finality answer different questions
Gas prices execution; confirmations show how the network has continued building on a transaction.
A six-step wallet path
Build a repeatable process rather than relying on memory at the moment of signing.
01 Get imtoken
Use the official download entry and review the environment before installing.
02 Create or import
Understand what credentials control the account.
03 Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline and never send it to anyone.
04 Verify the network
Match the asset, destination and selected network.
05 Receive or send
Review address, amount, gas and confirmation details.
06 Check transactions and approvals
Verify hashes and remove permissions that are no longer needed.
Web3
Treat every DApp request as a separate decision
A wallet connection does not mean every later signature or approval should be accepted.
Read the Web3 guide →Visit the DApp
Confirm the domain
Start the connection
Review account requests
Inspect signatures or approvals
Complete the action
Disconnect unused connections
Security
Security is a repeatable operating discipline
Protect credentials offline, verify addresses and networks before transfers, inspect signing requests, and manage DApp permissions over time. No wallet can make third-party contracts risk-free, and on-chain transactions generally cannot be unilaterally reversed after confirmation.
Open Security Center →- Back up seed phrases offline
- Never disclose private keys
- 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 and networks; then learn gas, transaction hashes, DApps and token approvals. Understanding the terms before acting makes later troubleshooting and security checks much clearer.
Read the starter guide →Public chains and transaction confirmations
How blocks and confirmations help verify state.
EVM and smart contracts
Addresses, gas, contracts and tokens in context.
Layer 2 basics
Mainnet relationships, bridges and settlement.
DApp approvals
Who can spend, how much, and for how long.
Wallet security
Practical routines for keys, devices and transfers.
Ethereum and Proof of Stake
Staking is participation in network consensus, not a guaranteed-return product.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Learn about PoS, validators, reward sources, network state, withdrawals and exit flows.
Learn the basics →Before participating
Rewards can change; exits may involve waiting; validators may face penalties; smart contracts, market prices and third-party services can add risk.
Understand validators →Product and security updates
Content-first notices without invented dates or promotional claims.
Review wallet networks before a transfer
Use the network selector as a verification step rather than a cosmetic setting.
Never share a seed phrase with support
Support can troubleshoot with public transaction information; account-control credentials are never required.
Confirm status on the correct explorer
When an interface and on-chain status differ, start with the network explorer.
Keep approval permissions current
Review long-lived permissions and remove those no longer needed.
Frequently asked questions
View all questions →How does a wallet relate to a blockchain account?
A wallet manages account credentials and helps construct on-chain actions. Asset state is recorded on the relevant blockchain network; the interface reads that state rather than storing the assets inside a web page or app.
Should I send my seed phrase to support for verification?
No. Seed phrases and private keys should remain under your control and should never be sent to anyone. imtoken personnel will not ask for them or for verification codes.
What is the difference between a private key and a seed phrase?
A private key controls a specific account, while a seed phrase is commonly used to derive one or more accounts. Both are highly sensitive credentials.
Why must I verify the network before transferring?
Similar address formats can exist on different networks. The asset network, recipient-supported network and the network selected in your wallet need to match.
What is gas?
Gas measures the network resources needed for on-chain execution. The resulting fee depends on network rules, transaction complexity and congestion rather than being a fixed wallet service charge.
What is a transaction hash used for?
A transaction hash is a key reference for checking broadcast, inclusion, confirmations and execution results on the correct block explorer.
What if a transaction succeeded but the asset is not displayed?
First verify the correct network and account, then compare the token contract and explorer balance. An interface display issue should be separated from the actual on-chain state.

Download through the official entry, then keep network and security checks part of every action.
