Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Understand multi-chain assets, network selection, receiving and sending, DApp connections, token approvals and wallet security with practical guidance tied to verifiable on-chain behavior.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep recovery material offline and separated from day-to-day devices.
Read guide →Receive Assets
Match the receiving address with the exact network and asset.
Read guide →Send Assets
Check address, network, amount and estimated gas before signing.
Read guide →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain, then review each request separately.
Read guide →Wallet capabilities, organized by real tasks
Different functions answer different questions: where assets are recorded, how transfers are signed, how DApps request permissions and how private credentials are protected.
Multi-chain assets
Compare networks, verify addresses and track confirmation status before moving assets.
Send & Receive
Review receiving addresses, networks, amounts, gas and transaction hashes as one complete flow.
imtoken APP
Mobile asset viewing, network management, transaction history and DApp access.
imtoken Web
Treat account requests, signatures, approvals and disconnect actions as separate decisions.
Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your control and review every approval.
Explore blockchain networks
Understand multi-chain, public-chain, EVM, Layer 2, gas and confirmation concepts in context.
Network matching comes first
Each blockchain network maintains its own nodes, blocks and state. Even when two networks share a similar address format, their asset records and fee systems remain separate, which is why network selection must be verified before sending funds.
How public chains confirm activity
Nodes propagate transactions, blocks record state changes and later blocks build confirmations.
EVM addresses, gas and contracts
EVM-compatible networks can share address patterns while maintaining separate state and fee markets.
Layer 2 and settlement
Cross-layer transfers can involve bridging, additional confirmations and waiting.
Fees and confirmations change
Gas or network fees compensate the network for processing and recording activity. The amount can vary with congestion, execution complexity and available block space, so a fee observed at one moment should never be treated as a permanent rate.
A practical wallet path
Move through creation, backup, network checks, transfers and approval review in a sequence that keeps sensitive credentials protected.

Web3
Connect to DApps one decision at a time
Connecting to a DApp creates an interaction channel and may reveal selected account information, but it is not blanket approval for every future request. Each signature, transaction or approval still needs its own review.

Connecting a wallet does not mean you should approve every signature. Review every signature and approval independently.
Security
Protect credentials first, then verify every action
Pre-transaction checks are more effective than trying to reverse an error after confirmation. Blockchain transfers are generally irreversible by the wallet alone, and third-party DApps and smart contracts can introduce independent risks that must be assessed separately.

Academy · Getting Started
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
The most useful way to learn wallet operations is to follow the order in which concepts appear in real use: understand addresses and keys first, then networks and fees, then receiving, sending and transaction verification.
Read the starter guide →Public chains and confirmations
Nodes, blocks and explorers help verify finality.
EVM and smart contracts
Understand gas, contracts and token interaction.
Layer 2 fundamentals
Learn settlement relationships and bridging.
DApp approvals
Treat connections, signatures and approvals separately.
Wallet security
Protect credentials and reduce exposure.
Blockchain glossary
Look up common terms in plain language.
Ethereum and Proof of Stake
Understand validators, reward sources, exits and network penalties before deciding whether staking fits your circumstances.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Proof of Stake and validator participation involve network state, reward distribution, exit mechanics and possible penalties. The mechanics should be understood before considering returns because reward levels and queue times can change with network conditions.
Learn staking mechanics →What to Understand Before Participating
Staking does not guarantee returns, and digital asset prices can move independently of staking rewards. Validators may face network penalties, while smart contracts and third-party services introduce additional technical and operational risks.
Validator guide →Product and security updates
Updates are presented by topic without inventing dates, partnerships or market claims.
Wallet guidance refreshed
Wallet operations are organized around real tasks.
Network checks emphasized
Verify network and address before transfers.
Credential safety reminder
Never share seed phrases, private keys or verification codes.
PoS knowledge updated
Validator content emphasizes variable rewards and risks.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to common wallet, network, Web3, security and staking questions.
An address is a public identifier used to receive assets on a specific network. It is not a seed phrase or private key.
Networks maintain separate state, so an address that looks valid can still be used on the wrong network.
Gas is the network fee for processing an on-chain action and can vary with network conditions.
No. Connection, signatures, transactions and approvals are separate requests.
No. Private keys and seed phrases remain under user control and should never be sent to support staff.
No. Rewards can change, exits may involve waits and validators, contracts and asset prices all carry risk.
