Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Manage assets across multiple networks, understand the difference between chains, send and receive with clearer checks, connect to DApps with awareness of signatures and approvals, and build practical wallet-security habits before every on-chain action.
Start with the task you need to complete
Use the shortest path to the right guidance, then follow the network and security checks before you confirm an on-chain action.
Back Up a Wallet
Keep the seed phrase offline and verify that the backup is complete and readable.
Open guide →Receive Assets
Match the receiving address with the intended network before sharing it.
Open guide →Send Assets
Review address, network, amount and gas before signing the transaction.
Open guide →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain, network and each signature or approval request separately.
Open guide →Wallet capabilities in one practical view
Multi-chain assets
Understand how assets, networks and addresses relate before moving value between chains.
Explore multi-chain concepts →imtoken APP
Manage networks, view assets, review transaction history and access DApps from a mobile workflow.
Explore the app →Send & Receive
Check recipient, network, amount, gas and transaction hash as one continuous workflow.
Read the transfer guide →imtoken Web
Connect through the browser, review requests and disconnect sessions you no longer need.

01Get imtoken
Use the official download entry and review the application source before installation.
02Create or import a wallet
Create a new wallet or import one only in a trusted environment.
03Back up the wallet offline
Store the seed phrase offline and never share the private key.
04Choose and verify the network
Confirm the network before you copy an address or submit a transaction.
05Receive or send assets
Review the address, amount and gas; consider a small test transfer for high-value moves.
06Review transactions and approvals
Use the transaction hash to verify the result and revoke approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApp
Review every request as a separate decision
Connecting a wallet does not mean every later signature should be accepted. Read the request type, permission scope and network each time.
Open the Web3 guide →- Visit the DApp
- Confirm the domain
- Start the connection
- Review the account request
- Check the signature or approval
- Complete the action
- Disconnect sessions you no longer need
Security
Build security from repeatable checks
Wallet security is a process: protect seed phrases and private keys, verify addresses and networks, review signatures, manage approvals and use trusted devices. No wallet can make third-party DApps or smart contracts risk-free, so informed confirmation remains essential.
Open the security center →- Keep seed phrases offline
- Never disclose private keys
- Verify network and address
- Review signature requests
- Manage DApp approvals
Featured introduction
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys and networks, then learn gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals. Each concept becomes easier when connected to a real task rather than memorized as a definition.

Frequently asked questions
What is the imtoken wallet?
imtoken is a multi-chain wallet and Web3 knowledge center. A wallet helps manage addresses, networks and on-chain interactions while seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control.
What is the difference between a seed phrase and a private key?
Both can represent wallet control. A seed phrase can derive multiple accounts, while a private key is specific key material. Neither should be shared with another person.
Why must I confirm the network before a transfer?
The same address format can appear on different networks and assets can exist on separate chains. Choosing the wrong network may prevent the transfer from arriving as intended.
What is gas?
Gas is the network-computation fee concept used for transactions and smart-contract execution. Actual fees change with the network and congestion.
What is a transaction hash used for?
A transaction hash is a durable lookup reference that can be used in the relevant block explorer to check status, block height and confirmations.
Does connecting to a DApp automatically move assets?
A connection usually establishes a session, but later signatures, approvals or transactions can affect assets or permissions. Review each request separately.
Is a message signature the same as a transaction signature?
No. A message signature often proves address control or confirms intent, while a transaction signature authorizes a transaction that can change on-chain state.
