A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
Use one clear hub to understand multi-chain assets, network selection, receiving and sending, DApp connections, signatures, approvals, blockchain concepts and wallet security. Every on-chain action should begin with a review of the address, network, permissions and request details.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep your seed phrase offline and never send recovery information to anyone.
Learn more →Receive Assets
Verify the receiving address, network and asset before sharing an address.
Learn more →Send Assets
Review the address, network, amount, gas and token before confirming.
Learn more →Connect to a DApp
Check the domain, account request, signature and approval scope.
Learn more →Wallet capabilities
Understand the wallet through real tasks, from assets to Web3
Multi-chain assets
Asset display depends on the active network, address and token contract. Recheck assets, gas assets and transaction status when switching networks.
Send & receive
Verify address and network when receiving, then review amount, gas, token details and transaction hash when sending.
imtoken APP
View assets, networks and transaction history on mobile, and review each DApp request individually.
imtoken Web
Browser connections should make the account, network and permission scope clear. Disconnect unused connections and review any permissions that remain.
Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your control, prefer offline backups, and never send recovery information to another person.
Blockchain networks
Choose the network first, then interpret fees and confirmations
Multi-chain
See how one wallet can connect to different networks and why parameters must be rechecked when switching.

Turn wallet use into six repeatable review steps
01Get imtoken
Enter the official download flow after an intentional click; the site does not auto-download.
02Create or import a wallet
Before creating or importing, understand what recovery information controls and how it should be protected.
03Back up the wallet offline
Keep the seed phrase offline. Do not screenshot it, send it to another person or give it to someone claiming to be support.
04Select and verify the network
Confirm the network, address and asset match; similar address formats do not mean two networks are the same.
05Receive or send assets
Review the address, network, amount and gas. For higher-value actions, consider validating the workflow with a smaller scope first.
06Review transactions and approvals
Use the transaction hash to review on-chain status, and periodically remove DApp approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApp
A connection is only the beginning—review every signature and approval
A DApp may request account access, a network switch, a message signature, a transaction signature or a token approval. Do not treat an existing connection as automatic consent to later requests.
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review each signature and approval separately.
01 · Visit the DApp
Review the source, network, account and permissions at each step; a connection is not blanket consent for later requests.
02 · Verify the domain
Review the source, network, account and permissions at each step; a connection is not blanket consent for later requests.
03 · Start the connection
Review the source, network, account and permissions at each step; a connection is not blanket consent for later requests.
04 · Review the account request
Review the source, network, account and permissions at each step; a connection is not blanket consent for later requests.
05 · Check the signature or approval
Review the source, network, account and permissions at each step; a connection is not blanket consent for later requests.
06 · Complete the action
Review the source, network, account and permissions at each step; a connection is not blanket consent for later requests.
07 · Disconnect unused connections
Review the source, network, account and permissions at each step; a connection is not blanket consent for later requests.
Security
Put security habits before every on-chain confirmation
Wallet security goes beyond a single warning about private keys. It requires ongoing checks of seed phrase storage, DApp spenders, signature origins, device conditions, networks and recipient addresses. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet alone, so preventive verification is more reliable than recovery after a mistake. Use public devices and networks cautiously, and treat any request for a seed phrase, private key or verification code as high risk.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, then learn seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals. The sequence matters: understand who controls the account, where a transaction is executed and what confirmation creates before moving into more complex contract interactions.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A wallet address is a public identifier used to receive on-chain assets. Before sending, verify the network, asset and full address rather than relying only on a few visible characters.
Both can represent control over wallet accounts. A seed phrase commonly derives or restores accounts, while a private key usually signs for a specific account. Neither should be sent to another person.
It is safer not to. Screenshots, photo sync and cloud storage increase exposure. Prefer an offline backup that is stored securely and separately from everyday connected devices.
Many EVM-compatible networks use the same address format, but their assets and network states are separate. Always verify the network, chain parameters and token contract.
Gas measures the computational resources needed for an on-chain operation. Fees depend on network rules and congestion, so wallet estimates can change as network conditions change.
A transaction hash is a unique identifier that can be checked on a suitable block explorer to review status, block inclusion, confirmations and interaction details.
Once an on-chain transaction is confirmed, a wallet generally cannot reverse it unilaterally. Recovery options depend on the recipient, network and asset, making pre-transfer checks essential.
