Keep seed phrases and private keys under your control; do not pass them through screenshots, chats or unknown sites.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Confirm the network before sharing an address; similar address formats do not mean the same chain.
Open guide →Send Assets
Review address, network, asset, amount and gas, then keep the transaction hash after broadcast.

Connection is only the start; review every signature, approval and contract request on its own.

Understand the wallet through real tasks
The wallet interface is an entry point; assets, transactions and approvals are ultimately recorded by their networks. Separating what the interface shows from what happened on-chain makes troubleshooting more reliable.
Multi-chain Assets
Identify the network first, then evaluate the address, gas and confirmation state.
Send & Receive
Receiving starts with address and network checks; sending adds asset, amount, gas and transaction-hash review.
imtoken APP
View assets, manage networks and track transactions on mobile while verifying sources before DApp use.
imtoken Web
Browser sessions require ongoing domain, account-request, signature and approval review. Disconnect sessions you no longer need.
Wallet Security
Users remain responsible for seed phrases and private keys. Offline backup, per-request review and periodic approval cleanup are foundational habits.
Explore Networks
Choose the network before moving assets
Multi-chain
Networks maintain separate account state and asset records. Confirm where the asset lives and which network the recipient expects instead of relying on address format alone.
Learn more →Public Chains
Nodes propagate transactions, blocks record state changes, and confirmations reflect how deeply activity is recorded. Explorers help verify public on-chain facts.
Learn more →
EVM
EVM networks share account and contract patterns, while chain IDs, gas assets, token contracts and approvals remain network-specific.
Learn more →
Layer 2
Layer 2 systems relate to mainnet settlement, but bridging, transfer state, confirmation and waiting periods need separate review.

Gas & Confirmations
Gas represents part of network execution cost, while confirmations describe recorded state. A higher fee never replaces address or network checks.

Get imtoken
All download entry points lead to the site download page and require a deliberate user click.
Create or import a wallet
Creation and import solve different needs. Before importing, confirm the recovery data comes from your own backup.
Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline rather than in chat, email, cloud notes or unknown websites.
Select and verify the network
Confirm the network name, the chain where the asset exists and the network expected by the recipient.
Receive or send assets
Check the address, amount and gas, then review what the signature request will actually do.
Review transactions and approvals
Keep the transaction hash, verify confirmations on-chain and periodically review DApp approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApp
A wallet connection does not justify every request
Review every signature and approval separately. Verify the domain, requested account access, signature details and approval target, then disconnect sessions you no longer need.

- Verify the domain
- Request a connection
- Review account access
- Inspect signature or approval
- Complete the action

Security
Treat recovery, devices, requests and transactions as separate layers
Seed phrases and private keys remain under user control, and imtoken personnel will not ask for them. Verify address, network and amount before transfers; review each DApp signature and approval; and use extra caution on public devices, public networks or remote-control sessions. On-chain transactions generally cannot be unilaterally reversed by a wallet, so pre-confirmation review matters.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks and gas, then move to transaction hashes, DApps and approvals. Understanding the relationships makes unusual requests easier to spot than memorizing steps alone.

Ethereum Staking Basics
PoS relies on validators participating in consensus. Reward sources, validator state, withdrawal and exit mechanics all affect outcomes and should not be treated as fixed yield or guaranteed return.

Product, network, security and service information
No invented dates, partnerships, user counts or market rankings—only information relevant to site use and risk education.
Download entry points and language switching
All download links point to /download.html, and language switching keeps users on the matching topic.
Verify the network before sending assets
Similar address formats do not mean the networks are identical. Check the asset network and recipient expectation.
Never send recovery secrets to anyone
imtoken support will not ask for a seed phrase or private key. Stop any support flow that requests recovery secrets.
Staking and validator content focuses on risk education
Staking does not guarantee returns. Rewards, waiting periods, validator state, contract risk and price volatility all require review.
FAQ
Common Questions
How are a wallet and an account related?
A wallet manages keys and constructs requests, while account state and assets are recorded on the relevant blockchain. Changing a device or interface does not automatically move those assets.
Should I store a seed phrase in a screenshot?
That is not recommended. Screenshots may sync to cloud storage or become readable by other software. Use an offline backup method instead.
Can I send a private key to support?
No. Stop any troubleshooting flow that asks you to send a private key, seed phrase or verification code.
Why can the same address appear on different networks?
Some networks use compatible address formats, but assets remain recorded separately on each network. Always verify the network.
What should I check before sending?
At minimum, review the recipient address, network, asset, amount and gas, then check them again on the confirmation screen.
Is gas a platform fee?
Gas is generally a network resource and execution fee. Its cost can vary with protocol rules and network demand.
What is a transaction hash for?
A transaction hash is a unique transaction identifier that can be used with a block explorer to inspect broadcast, execution and confirmation state.
