Multi-chain assets
When viewing assets across networks, distinguish the chain, address context and confirmation model. Assets with the same name may exist on different networks or use different contracts.
imtoken multi-chain wallet
Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken. Learn how to manage assets across networks, send and receive, connect to DApps, review approvals and understand the network and security context behind each action.
02
Back Up a Wallet
Keep the seed phrase offline and away from screenshots or cloud sync.
Backup guide →05
Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain and review each signature or approval request.
Connection guide →Wallet capabilities
Understand what happens from balance view to on-chain action
A wallet is more than an asset list. Network selection, receiving addresses, transaction broadcasts, Gas, transaction hashes, DApp connections and approvals are all part of the real workflow.
Send & Receive
Confirm the network before receiving. Before sending, review the address, amount and network fee, then use the transaction hash to verify status.
Learn the transfer flow →imtoken App
Manage networks, view assets and transaction history, and inspect the source of a DApp request before you act.
imtoken Web
A browser connection starts a relationship with a web application, but it does not justify every later request. Message signatures, transaction signatures and approvals need separate review, and unused connections or permissions should be removed when appropriate.
Explore Web use →Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys offline and private. Third-party DApps and smart contracts can introduce their own risks.
Explore networks
Understand the network before the transaction
Networks differ in consensus, fees, confirmation behavior, contract environments and cross-layer mechanics.
Multi-chain is more than showing more assets
Each network has independent state and transaction rules. Before sending or receiving, make sure both sides support the same network.
Explore multi-chain use →Public chains, nodes and confirmations
Transactions propagate through nodes and are included in blocks. Confirmation counts describe how much additional chain history has been built after a transaction.

EVM and smart contracts
EVM-compatible networks can share similar address formats while using different Gas assets, contracts and token states.
Understand EVM →
Layer 2 and mainnet
Layer 2 systems use different approaches to improve throughput or cost. Bridging and exits can involve dedicated steps and waiting periods.
Learn Layer 2 →
Gas and confirmations
Gas is the cost of executing on-chain work. Network demand, operation complexity and fee models affect cost and confirmation speed.
Learn fees and confirmations →Wallet journey
From getting the wallet to reviewing transactions and approvals
A repeatable check sequence makes complex on-chain actions easier to understand and reduces errors caused by haste or network confusion.

01
Create or import a wallet
Understand seed phrases and private keys first, then work on a device you trust.
02
Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline. Do not screenshot, cloud-sync or send it to anyone.
03
Select and verify the network
Make sure the asset, recipient and selected wallet network match.
04
Receive or send assets
Review the address, amount and Gas; for complex cases, consider a small test first.
05
Review transactions and approvals
Use the transaction hash to verify status and remove approvals you no longer need.
06
Web3 & DApps
A connection is only the beginning; review each request on its own
After a wallet connects, a DApp may request account access, a network switch, a message signature, a transaction signature or a token approval. These are different permissions and should not be approved automatically just because a connection already exists.
Connecting a wallet does not mean every signature request should be accepted. Review each signature and approval separately.
Visit the DApp
Verify the domain
Start the connection
Review the account request
Inspect the signature or approval
Complete the action
Disconnect when no longer needed
Security
Move the security check before the confirmation button
Your seed phrase and private keys determine wallet control and should remain private. Requests for them under the pretext of support, verification, recovery or rewards are high-risk signals. Before a transfer, confirm the address, network and amount. For DApps, review the domain, contract, signature details and permission scope.
Shared computers, public Wi-Fi, remote-control sessions and unknown software can add risk. If you see an unexpected pop-up, changed clipboard address, unexplained approval or unclear signature request, stop and re-check from a trusted environment.

What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
An address receives assets; seed phrases and private keys control the wallet; the network determines where a transaction happens; Gas pays for execution; and a transaction hash helps you verify the result. In Web3, a DApp connection, message signature, transaction signature and token approval all mean different things. Understanding the concepts first is more durable than memorizing button positions.
Public chains and confirmations
Understand nodes, blocks and confirmation depth.
EVM and smart contracts
Understand addresses, Gas, contracts and tokens.
Layer 2 basics
Understand mainnet relationships, bridging and confirmations.
DApp approvals
Understand spenders, allowances and revocation.
Wallet security
Build repeatable checks and risk awareness.
Blockchain glossary

Ethereum & PoS
Understand staking through protocol mechanics and risk
Staking is not a fixed-return product. The useful questions concern validators, reward sources, network state, withdrawals, exits, waiting periods and protocol penalties.
Ethereum Staking basics
Ethereum PoS uses validators to participate in consensus. Rewards can change with network and protocol conditions, while withdrawals and exits follow defined mechanisms and may involve waiting. Understand the service model, fund path and any smart contracts involved before participating.

FAQ
Start with the most common questions
The full FAQ covers wallets, networks, Gas, transaction hashes, DApps, signatures, approvals, EVM, Layer 2, Ethereum, PoS and validators.
Assets and contract state are independent across networks. A mismatch can prevent a transfer from arriving as expected.
No. Connections, message signatures, transaction signatures and token approvals are different requests.
No. Official personnel will not ask for your seed phrase, private key or verification code.
It lets you verify broadcast, confirmation or failure status in a block explorer.
Moving assets between a Layer 2 and its base chain can require a dedicated cross-layer process and waiting period.
No. Rewards, exit timing, protocol penalties, contract risk and market prices can all change.
