Multi-chain Assets
Different networks maintain independent state and fee mechanics. Treat network choice, address verification and transaction confirmation as one continuous workflow.

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, transfers, DApp connections, signatures, approvals and wallet security in one clear framework. imtoken also explains public chains, EVM, Layer 2, gas, Ethereum PoS and validators so users can understand what they are confirming before an on-chain action.

Quick Tasks
Start with what you need to do now
01Create a Wallet
Start on a trusted device, create a new on-chain account and understand the difference between an address and recovery information.

View steps →03Receive AssetsConfirm that the receiving address and network match, then verify the result using on-chain records.
View steps →04Send AssetsReview address, network, amount and gas; consider a small test and keep the transaction hash.
View steps →05Connect to a DAppVerify the domain first, then inspect account, signature and approval requests. A connection does not mean later requests should be accepted.

Wallet Security
Seed phrases, private keys, offline backups and approval management matter throughout the wallet lifecycle.
Blockchain Networks
Understand the network you are using
Multi-chain Networks
Each network has its own chain state, gas asset and transaction history. Confirm where the asset lives, whether the destination supports the network and how the result will be verified.
Learn more →
Public Chains
Public chains are maintained by distributed nodes. Blocks, transactions, confirmations and explorer data form the basis for understanding on-chain state.
Learn more →
EVM
EVM networks share similar account and smart-contract models, while chain IDs, gas tokens, block state and bridge mechanics can differ.
Learn more →
Layer 2
Layer 2 systems move some execution or data to an expansion layer while keeping a settlement or security relationship with mainnet. Understand bridge paths and waiting periods before moving assets.
Learn more →Gas & Confirmations
Gas influences the cost and competition for block space; confirmation counts help describe how deeply a transaction is recorded. Both depend on the specific network.

Six steps for a reviewable wallet workflow
- 01
Get imtoken
Use the official download entry and avoid unknown links or files shared in chats.
- 02
Create or import a wallet
When creating or importing a wallet, use a trusted device and a suitable private environment.
- 03
Back up offline
Keep seed phrases offline, never disclose private keys, and do not enter recovery data into unknown pages.
- 04
Select and verify the network
Before moving assets, verify the network, address format and gas asset rather than relying on a token name alone.
- 05
Receive or send assets
Review address, network and amount again before sending, then use the transaction hash and a block explorer to verify status.
- 06
Review transactions and approvals
Inspect each DApp signature request and periodically review approvals that are no longer needed.
Web3 & DApp
Connection is only the start; review every request
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review the domain, account, network, contract and permission scope for each signature or approval.
Open the Web3 guide →- Visit a DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start connection
- Review account request
- Inspect signature or approval
- Complete the action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Make security checks part of every action
Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control. imtoken personnel will not ask for them or for verification codes. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet acting alone, and third-party DApps or smart contracts can introduce independent risk. Before transferring, signing or approving, verify the source, network, address, amount and permission scope; afterward, review transaction status and approvals you no longer need.
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?
Addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals all shape how an on-chain action should be understood. A useful learning path begins with what can be verified and what permission is being granted, not simply where to click.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A digital wallet manages blockchain accounts, addresses and signing capability. Assets remain on the blockchain; control is established through the keys or credentials associated with an address.
A seed phrase is commonly used to derive or recover a set of wallet keys, while a private key directly authorizes signatures for a particular account. Both are highly sensitive.
No. imtoken personnel will not ask for a seed phrase, private key or verification code, and these should never be sent through websites, chats or email.
The same asset label can appear on different networks. Sending on the wrong network can prevent the asset from arriving in the expected context.
Gas measures the computation and block-space cost of an on-chain action. Payment method, units and fee dynamics depend on the network.
A transaction hash identifies a transaction and can be used in a block explorer to inspect status, confirmations, addresses and other on-chain data.
Network congestion, fee settings, node propagation and chain state can affect confirmation time. Check a reliable block explorer before submitting duplicates.
