Multi-chain Assets
Networks maintain separate transaction environments, fee mechanics and confirmation states. Check the network, address and asset before moving value.

Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Move from multi-chain assets and network selection to sending, receiving, DApp connections, approvals, network fundamentals and wallet security with checks that are easy to understand before you act.

Wallet Security
Your seed phrase and private key remain under your control. imtoken personnel will never ask for them.
Multiple networks do not share one ledger
Even when EVM networks use similar address formats, assets, gas and transaction states remain network-specific. Sender and receiver should use the same supported network.
Public chains, blocks and confirmations
Transactions propagate through the network and enter blocks. Explorers help verify hashes, block heights and confirmation status.
EVM, gas and smart contracts
EVM networks can share address formats while using different chain IDs, gas assets and contract deployments.
Layer 2 and mainnet
Layer 2 systems extend mainnet in different ways. Cross-layer transfers may involve bridges, waiting periods and multiple confirmation stages.
Gas and confirmations
Gas reflects the cost of on-chain execution and storage. Network demand can affect fees and confirmation speed.
Usage path
Six steps for verifiable wallet habits
- 01
Get imtoken
Use the site download entry and verify the domain first.
- 02
Create or import
Understand addresses, seed phrases and private keys before acting.
- 03
Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline and never reveal the private key.
- 04
Select the network
Verify network, address format and asset type.
- 05
Receive or send
Check address, network, amount and gas before confirming.
- 06
Review history and approvals
Inspect DApp requests and revoke permissions you no longer need.
Web3 & DApps
Review every connection, signature and approval independently
Connecting a wallet does not make every later request safe. Check the domain, account request, contract and permission scope before proceeding.
Open the Web3 guide →- Visit the DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start the connection
- Review account access
- Inspect signature or approval
- Complete the action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Security comes from repeated verification
Your seed phrase and private key are yours to protect. Be cautious when anyone claims they need them to verify an account, unlock assets or provide recovery help. Confirm the address, network and amount before sending; verify a DApp domain before connecting; inspect the request, contract and scope before signing or approving. Public devices, open networks, remote-control tools and cloud screenshots can widen exposure. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet provider alone, so checks matter before the action is submitted.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
An address receives assets; a seed phrase and private key represent control; the network determines where a transaction occurs; gas pays for execution; a transaction hash helps verify status; and DApps may request connections, signatures or approvals. Understanding these concepts makes it easier to recognize what you are authorizing.

Ethereum Staking Basics
Validators participate in PoS consensus. Reward sources, network status, exits and withdrawals can change with protocol conditions.
Learn about Ethereum staking →Understand before participating
- Rewards can change; staking does not guarantee returns
- Exits may involve waiting periods
- Validators can face network penalties
- Smart contracts and third-party services carry technical risk
- Digital-asset prices can fluctuate

FAQ
Common questions
Can I send my seed phrase to support?
No. imtoken will never ask for your seed phrase, private key or verification code.
Why does a transfer require a network?
Assets and transactions exist on specific networks. Sender and receiver need a compatible route.
What is gas?
Gas is part of the network cost for executing a transaction or smart-contract action.
What is a transaction hash for?
It can be used in the relevant block explorer to check status, block and confirmations.
Is a DApp safe once connected?
Connection alone is not proof of safety. Review every signature and approval request separately.
Can approvals be revoked?
Many EVM approvals can be revoked through compatible tools, usually requiring network fees.
Is Layer 2 the same as mainnet?
No. Layer 2 is related to mainnet but may use different fees and cross-layer workflows.
Are staking returns fixed?
No. Rewards, exits, penalties and market conditions can change.
