Multi-chain assets
Understand assets across networks, address compatibility, network differences and confirmations instead of choosing a route by token name alone.

Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
Manage assets across networks while keeping network selection, transfers, DApp connections, token approvals and wallet security in one understandable workflow. Whether you are receiving assets for the first time or preparing to interact with a smart contract, verify the network, address and request details before acting.
Start with a task
Five practical tasks for a first wallet workflow
- 01 Create a Wallet
Understand addresses, seed phrases and private keys before choosing whether to create or import a wallet.
Create and import guide → - 02 Back Up a Wallet
Keep the seed phrase offline. Do not screenshot it, send it to anyone or give it to someone claiming to be support.
Backup principles → - 03 Receive Assets
Share the correct receiving address and confirm that both sides are using the same network.
Receive Assets → - 04 Send Assets
Verify the address, network, amount and gas, then keep the transaction hash after submission.
Transaction checks → - 05 Connect to a DApp
Connection is only the first step. Review signatures, transactions and token approvals separately.

Wallet capabilities
Assets, networks, connections and security belong to one workflow
Every on-chain action involves an account, a network and a set of permissions. imtoken brings those decisions into the same context so they can be reviewed together.
Send & Receive
The receiving address, target network, amount, gas and transaction hash form one verification chain. Once confirmed, an on-chain transaction generally cannot be reversed by a wallet alone.
View the full workflow →imtoken APP
View assets, switch networks, follow transaction history and verify the source before entering a DApp.
Explore the App →imtoken Web
Browser connections should distinguish account access, signatures, transactions and approvals. Accepting one step should never automatically approve the next.

Wallet security
Seed phrases and private keys should remain under the user’s control. Offline backups, approval reviews and device security require ongoing attention.

Understand the network before moving assets
Multi-chain does not mean every network is interchangeable
不同网络拥有自己的链 ID、Gas 资产、区块状态与合约生态。Send Assets前要确认发送方与接收方使用同一网络，并理解跨链或跨层转移需要额外流程。

Public Chains通过节点与共识维护公开状态
Transactions are propagated by nodes, included in blocks and confirmed. A block explorer can independently show transaction hashes, block height and public address state.
认识Public Chains →
EVM networks may share an execution model without being the same chain
Similar address formats can be misleading. Verify the chain ID, gas asset, contract address and bridge separately.
Understand EVM →
Layer 2 requires an understanding of mainnet relationships and cross-layer waiting periods
Deposits, withdrawals and bridges can pass through different confirmation stages. Do not rely on an interface balance alone to decide that a cross-layer process is final.
Learn Layer 2 →Gas & Confirmations受网络状态影响
Fee estimates, inclusion speed and final confirmation times change with congestion and transaction complexity. For pending transactions, check the transaction hash before sending again.

From getting a wallet to reviewing transactions and approvals
- 01
Get imtoken
Use the website download entry point rather than unknown links.
- 02
Create or import a wallet
Know the difference between creating and importing, and never hand a recovery phrase to a third party.
- 03
离线Back Up a Wallet
Keep the seed phrase offline, avoid screenshots and never disclose private keys.
- 04
Select and verify the network
Confirm the chain ID, network name and receiving network.
- 05
接收或Send Assets
Verify the address, network, amount and gas; consider a small test when appropriate.
- 06
Review transactions and approvals
Keep the transaction hash, review DApp signatures and periodically remove approvals you no longer need.
Web3 与 DApp
Connection is only the first step; review every permission separately
A wallet connection usually establishes communication between an account and a DApp. Message signatures, transaction signatures, token approvals and contract calls can follow, and each request has different permissions and consequences.
Open the Web3 guide →Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review each signature and approval independently.
- Visit a DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start a connection
- Review the account request
- Review the signature or approval
- Complete the action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
把敏感凭据、设备、授权与Transaction checks放在同一套安全习惯里
Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control. Legitimate support should not request them through chat, forms or remote-control software. Security also includes verifying DApp domains, understanding signature content, reviewing token approvals, using trusted devices and networks, and re-checking the address, network and amount before every transfer. Confirmed on-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet alone, and third-party DApps, smart contracts and bridges can carry technical or operational risk.

- Never disclose private keys
- Verify network and address
- Review signature requests

Ethereum & PoS
Ethereum Staking Basics
Ethereum PoS uses validators to participate in consensus. Reward sources, network conditions, exits and withdrawals all affect the experience. Rewards can change and are not guaranteed.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Wallets, seed phrases, networks, DApps, approvals and Ethereum PoS.
View the full FAQ →Can I give my seed phrase to support for recovery?
No. Seed phrases and private keys should remain under the user’s control, and legitimate support should not request them.
Why keep a transaction hash after sending?
It lets you check submission, block inclusion and confirmation in a block explorer.
Connect to a DApp 就等于授权转账吗？
No. Connection, signatures, transactions and token approvals are different requests and should be reviewed separately.
Why does gas change?
Network congestion and transaction complexity can change fee estimates and final costs.
Why can Layer 2 transfers take time?
Cross-layer processes can involve mainnet confirmation, proofs or exit waiting periods, depending on the system.
Does Ethereum staking guarantee returns?
No. Rewards can change, and network penalties, exit queues, contract risk and market volatility may apply.
