Multi-chain Assets
The same asset name can appear on different networks. Check the network, token contract and confirmation state rather than relying on icons alone.

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, sending and receiving, DApp connections, signatures, approvals, network concepts and wallet security in one coherent path. The goal is to make the network, address and permission behind each action easier to verify before you proceed.
Start from the task you need to complete
Choose an action and follow a guide that keeps the address, network, amount and permission scope visible at each step.

Back Up a Wallet
Keep seed phrases offline and away from chats, screenshots and unknown cloud storage.

Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain and treat connection, signatures and approvals as separate permission steps.
Connection guide →Wallet capabilities organized around real use
Different capabilities are not merely different buttons. Understand the network, asset and permission first, then decide what to do next.
Understand multi-chain networks →Send & Receive
Receiving address, network, amount, gas and transaction hash together describe a complete on-chain transfer.

Browser connections make domain, session and approval checks especially important. Disconnect sessions you no longer need.

Users keep control of seed phrases and private keys. Offline backup, signature review and approval management are long-term habits.

Network differences affect addresses, fees, confirmations, contracts and asset routes. Choosing the right network comes first.
Multi-chain is more than an asset list
A wallet can display assets across networks, but each network has its own transaction state, fee rules and confirmation process. Confirm both sides use the same network or a supported bridge path.
Learn multi-chain basics →Public chains, blocks and confirmations
Transactions are propagated by nodes and included in blocks. Block explorers help you check status, block height and address activity.

EVM and contract interaction
EVM networks often share familiar account and contract patterns, but they remain separate networks. Gas, token contracts and approvals must be understood in the correct network context.

Layer 2 and mainnet
Layer 2 systems expand transaction processing through different designs. Cross-layer transfers can involve bridges, confirmation stages and withdrawal waiting periods.

From getting imtoken to checking transactions and approvals
Use six steps that leave each important detail available for a second check.
01 Get imtoken
Start from the download entry
Use the site download entry rather than unknown installation links from unsolicited messages.
02 Create or import
Understand recovery credentials
Know what seed phrases and private keys can control, and never disclose them to anyone.
03 Back up offline
Keep sensitive data under your control
Prefer offline storage and avoid screenshots, chats and unknown cloud services.
04 Select and verify the network
The network defines the asset route
Check the sending network, receiving network and target asset instead of assuming similar addresses are interchangeable.
05 Receive or send assets
Check address, network and amount
Review the fee and watch for clipboard address replacement before submitting.
06 Review transactions and approvals
Verify after the action
Use the transaction hash to inspect the on-chain result and review permissions you no longer need.
Web3 & DApps
Separate connection, signatures and approvals
A wallet connection creates an account interaction channel. Every later signature and approval should still be reviewed on its own. Domain, request target and permission scope matter more than confirming quickly.
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review every signature and approval individually.
Open the Web3 guide →- Visit a DApp and verify its domain and source
- Confirm the domain matches the service you intended to use
- Start the connection and review the account request
- Check what account information the DApp requests
- Review each signature or approval
- Verify the on-chain result after completion
- Disconnect unused sessions and review approvals
Security
Security comes from repeatable checks, not absolute promises
Users are responsible for safeguarding seed phrases and private keys, and imtoken staff will never ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code. On-chain transfers are generally not reversible by a wallet provider, while third-party DApps and smart contracts can introduce independent risks. Review the network, address, request target and permission scope before continuing.
Open the 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 the difference between an address, seed phrase and private key. Then learn how networks and gas affect transfers, how a transaction hash helps you verify an on-chain result, and how DApp connections, signatures and token approvals represent different kinds of permission.

Ethereum and PoS: understand the mechanism before deciding
Staking content should explain validators, reward sources, exits, penalties and technical risks rather than promising fixed returns.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Ethereum PoS uses validators to participate in network consensus. Rewards depend on network duties and can change with protocol and network conditions. Exits and withdrawals can involve waiting periods.

Frequently asked questions
Start with common decisions around wallet credentials, networks and DApp permissions.
Can I send my seed phrase to official staff?
No. Official staff will never ask for your seed phrase, private key or verification code.
Why verify the network before sending?
Different networks maintain separate asset and transaction records, even when addresses look similar.
What can a transaction hash show?
It can be used in a block explorer to inspect whether a transaction is pending, confirmed or failed.
Is connecting to a DApp the same as approving it?
Connection and approval are usually separate, but later requests can grant permissions and should be reviewed individually.
Should old approvals be reviewed?
Yes. Consider revoking permissions you no longer need based on your actual use.
Does Ethereum staking guarantee returns?
No. Rewards can change and there are exit delays, validator penalties, contract risks and price volatility.
Should I use a wallet on a public computer?
Use caution with public computers and networks, especially where sensitive credentials could be exposed.
Ready to use imtoken?
Use the shared download entry. Never provide a seed phrase, private key or verification code to a third party.
