Keep assets, networks and actions understandable
Multi-chain assets
A wallet may display assets across multiple networks. Before acting, verify the network, address format, token contract and confirmation state.
Send & receive
Verify address and network when receiving; review amount, gas, transaction hash and final confirmation when sending.
imtoken APP
Review assets, manage networks and inspect transaction history while keeping recovery secrets offline.
imtoken Web
Browser connections should be reviewed through domain checks, account requests, signature details and approval scope.

Usage path
Six steps for a clear wallet routine
01
Get imtoken
Use the unified download entry.
02
Create or import
Check the device environment first.
03
Back up offline
Keep seed phrases offline and never disclose private keys.
04
Verify the network
Confirm network, address and asset chain.
05
Receive or send
Review address, network, amount and gas.
06
Review transactions and approvals
Review signatures and remove unneeded approvals.
Web3 & DApp
Connection is only the start; review every request
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be approved. Review each signature and approval independently.
Open the Web3 guide →Visit a DApp
Verify the domain
Start the connection
Review the account request
Inspect the signature or approval
Complete the action
Disconnect unneeded sessions
Security
Manage secrets, devices and on-chain permissions separately
Seed phrases and private keys remain under user control, and official support will not request them. For DApps, signatures and approvals, verify source, target and scope. Before transfers, check address, network and amount. On-chain transactions are generally not reversible by a wallet alone.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Addresses identify on-chain accounts; seed phrases and private keys represent control; networks determine where transactions execute; gas is the fee mechanism; transaction hashes locate public records; and DApp connections, signatures and approvals define wallet interaction with applications and contracts.
Read Getting Started →Public Chains & Confirmations
Understand how blocks and confirmations reflect transaction state.
EVM & Smart Contracts
Separate addresses, gas, tokens and contract calls.
Layer 2 Basics
Learn base-layer relationships, bridges and settlement.
DApp Approvals

Ethereum Staking Basics
Ethereum PoS uses validators to participate in consensus. Understanding reward sources, validator state, withdrawals and exits is more important than focusing on a return figure. Rewards can change and exits can involve waiting periods.

Wallet capability and usage notes
A workflow covering creation, backup, network selection, transfers and approval review, with emphasis on what to verify at each step.
Multi-chain network review
Similar address formats do not mean networks are identical. Re-check the network and contract before transfers or DApp use.
Seed phrase and private-key principles
Seed phrases, private keys and verification codes should never be sent to anyone. Official support will not request them.
Signature and approval review
After connecting a DApp, continue reviewing every signature and approval target, and consider removing permissions no longer needed.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a wallet?
A wallet helps manage addresses, asset displays and on-chain interactions controlled by cryptographic keys. It is not a bank account; asset state is recorded by blockchain networks.
How are seed phrases and private keys different?
A seed phrase commonly restores a set of keys, while a private key directly controls an address. Both are highly sensitive and should be stored offline.
Will official support ask for my seed phrase?
No. Never send a seed phrase, private key or verification code to anyone.
Why verify the network before sending?
The same asset name can appear on different networks. A wrong network can lead to an unexpected settlement path.
What is gas?
Gas is the fee mechanism for executing on-chain actions, with cost determined by network rules and congestion.
What is a transaction hash for?
A transaction hash locates a public transaction in an explorer, including status, block and confirmation progress.
