Multi-chain assets
Before reviewing assets across networks, remember that each network maintains its own state. Address context, gas, confirmations and token contracts all depend on the active network.

Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
From multi-chain asset views and network selection to sending, receiving, DApp connections and token approvals, imtoken brings wallet use and security checks into one learning path. Users remain responsible for seed phrases and private keys and should verify the address, network and request before each on-chain action.

Start with real tasks
Choose the task you need, understand the implications and then act.
Create a WalletUnderstand the wallet and account model first, then create a wallet without entering a seed phrase into ordinary webpages. →
Back Up a WalletRecord the seed phrase accurately and keep it offline rather than in screenshots, chats or public cloud storage. →
Receive AssetsShare the address together with the intended network and confirm the asset is being sent on that network. →
Send AssetsReview the address, network, asset, amount and gas before actively confirming the transaction. →
Connect to a DAppVerify the domain before connecting, then review every later signature and approval separately. →
Wallet capabilities work together
Assets, networks, transactions and security are connected, so the overview uses different content scales so each kind of information has a clear visual hierarchy.
Send & receive
Verify address and network when receiving, then amount, gas and transaction hash when sending.

imtoken Web
Browser use requires a clear distinction between account connection, message signing, token approval and transaction signing.
Wallet security
Seed phrases and private keys should be kept offline and should never be requested by another person.
Explore blockchain networks
Use network selection as the starting point for understanding addresses, gas, confirmations and cross-layer movement.
Multi-chain
Multi-chain support gives users one place to understand several networks, while asset state remains independently recorded on each network.

Public chains use nodes, blocks and consensus to maintain a public ledger that can be inspected with a block explorer.

EVM
EVM networks share a similar execution model, while chain IDs, gas, contracts and asset state remain independent.

Layer 2
Moving assets between Layer 2 and the base layer can require bridging, message confirmation and additional waiting.

Wallet usage path
Build repeatable security habits from setup and backup through transfers and approvals.
Get imtoken
Start from a clear download entry point rather than installing unknown files from unsolicited links.
Create or import a wallet
Understand the difference between creating and importing, and keep recovery credentials under your control.
Back up offline
Record the seed phrase accurately, store it offline and never send it to anyone.
Choose and verify the network
The network determines asset state, gas and where the transaction is broadcast.
Receive or send
Confirm address and network when receiving; review amount and fees when sending.
Review transactions and approvals
Use transaction hashes to verify status and periodically remove approvals you no longer need.
Web3
Review every connection, signature and approval separately
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review every signature and approval independently.

- Verify the domain

Security
Keep sensitive credentials under your control
Seed phrases and private keys are central to wallet control. They should not be entered into ordinary webpages, sent to support agents, stored in public cloud documents or shared through chat. Because on-chain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet provider, effective protection comes from pre-action checks, minimum permissions and independent verification.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals before moving into real actions. The relationships matter more than isolated definitions: addresses receive publicly, private keys control accounts, networks determine where activity happens, gas pays execution costs and transaction hashes help verify status.

Ethereum Staking Basics
Learn how Ethereum PoS, validators, reward sources, network state, withdrawals and exits work. Staking does not guarantee returns and rewards can change.

Validators may face protocol penalties, exits can involve waiting, smart contracts and third-party services carry risk, and digital-asset prices can fluctuate.

FAQ
Start with common wallet, network, DApp and security questions.
Will imtoken ask for my seed phrase?
No. Seed phrases and private keys should remain under the user’s control and should not be sent to websites, support agents or third parties.
Why can the same address show different balances on different networks?
Each network maintains its own ledger. Even when the address format is the same, balances and transaction histories belong to separate networks.
What should I verify before receiving assets?
Confirm the recipient address, asset and network, and make sure the sender is using the same intended destination network.
What is gas?
Gas is the fee mechanism used to execute transactions or contract operations. The calculation and amount vary by network.
What is a transaction hash for?
A transaction hash is a public identifier used to inspect whether a transaction was broadcast, included, confirmed or failed.
Does connecting a DApp approve my assets?
No. Connection, signing, token approval and sending a transaction are separate actions and should be reviewed independently.
Are message signatures safe?
A signature can carry authorization meaning. Its safety depends on the content and purpose. Do not approve a signature you do not understand.
