Multi-chain assets
Separate networks before managing assets
The same address format can appear across networks while balances, gas and transaction state remain separate. Check the network and destination before sending.

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 assets and network selection to sending, receiving, DApp connections, approvals, network fundamentals and wallet security, imtoken organizes the decisions that matter into a clear learning and usage path.
Quick paths
Start with what you need to do now
01
Create a Wallet
→02Understand what to prepare when creating or importing a wallet and which recovery material must remain under your control.
Back Up a Wallet
→03Learn how to keep a seed phrase offline and avoid screenshots, cloud sync and chat-based storage.
Receive Assets
→04Treat the destination address and network as one piece of information and confirm the sender uses the intended chain.
Send Assets
→05Review the address, network, amount, gas and transaction summary before submission.
Connect to a DApp
→Verify the domain and account request first, then review signatures and token approvals independently.
Wallet capabilities
Bring assets, networks, transactions and security into one workflow
imtoken APP
View assets, manage networks and follow transaction records on mobile.
Send & Receive
Review the destination, network, amount, gas and transaction hash.
View workflow →imtoken Web
A browser connection does not imply consent to signatures or approvals; review each request independently.

Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys under your own control, prefer offline backups and review permissions you no longer need.
Multi-chain
Different networks are separate ledgers
Multi-chain management means keeping the address context, balance, gas asset and transaction state of each network distinct.
Learn more →Public Chains
Understand confirmations through nodes and blocks
Public chains use protocol rules and distributed participants to maintain shared state, while explorers help verify transactions.

EVM
Compatibility does not make networks identical
EVM networks can share address formats and contract interfaces while chain IDs, gas assets and state remain separate.
Learn more →
Layer 2
Understand mainnet links, bridges and waiting periods
Layer 2 systems connect to a main chain through defined security or settlement models, and cross-layer transfers can involve several stages.

Gas & Confirmations
Fees and success are different questions
Gas pays for network execution resources; success still depends on parameters, contract execution and network state.

Six steps with the right checks at the right moment
- 01
Get imtoken
Use the site-wide download entry and make sure your device and operating environment are trusted before continuing.
- 02
Create or import a wallet
Make sure recovery information is handled only in a trusted local environment.
- 03
Back up offline
Store the seed phrase offline, avoid screenshots and cloud sync, and never disclose a private key.
- 04
Choose and verify the network
Confirm the asset’s network, the destination’s supported chain and the asset required to pay gas.
- 05
Receive or send assets
Check the address, network and amount; consider a small test when using a new network or destination.
- 06
Review transactions and approvals
Use the transaction hash to verify the on-chain result and periodically review DApp approvals you no longer need.
Web3 & DApp
Connection is only the start; each signature and approval is a new decision
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature should be approved. Review each signature and approval on its own.
Open Web3 guide →- 1Visit the DApp
- 2Verify the domain
- 3Start the connection
- 4Review account access
- 5Check the signature or approval
- 6Complete the action
- 7Disconnect unused connections
Security
Security comes from continuous verification, not a one-time setting
Security starts with key custody but does not end after backup. Review the address, network and amount before transfers; verify the domain before DApp connections; inspect the target and scope of every signature or approval. Public devices, public networks, remote-control tools and clipboard substitution can all increase risk. Because on-chain transactions usually cannot be reversed by a wallet alone, pre-submission review should be a standard habit.

- Never disclose private keys

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Addresses identify destinations; seed phrases and private keys control wallets; networks determine where transactions execute; gas prices execution; transaction hashes identify results; DApps and approvals introduce smart-contract permissions. Understanding the links between them makes every later action easier to evaluate.

FAQ
Answers to common questions
Digital asset records live on the relevant blockchain. A wallet manages keys and helps read balances, construct transactions and sign requests.
No. Seed phrases and private keys remain under the user’s control and are never appropriate troubleshooting material.
Both are highly sensitive control credentials. Derivation details vary by wallet design, but neither should be uploaded, screenshotted or sent to another person.
EVM networks may use the same account format, while chain IDs, gas assets and blockchain state remain separate.
Once confirmed on-chain, a transfer usually cannot be reversed by the wallet alone. Check the address, network and amount before submission.
Gas is generally a blockchain network fee for transaction execution and is not the same as a wallet service fee.
A transaction hash identifies an on-chain transaction and can be used in a block explorer to inspect status, block inclusion and confirmations.
No. Connection, signatures and token approvals are separate actions, and the latter two should be reviewed independently.
