Multi-chain assets
Different networks keep separate state. Confirm network, address and confirmations before interpreting a balance.

Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Manage assets across networks, understand receiving and sending, review DApp connections and approvals, and learn how network mechanics affect wallet safety.
Create a Wallet
Understand account creation and key ownership before your first transaction.
Learn more →Back Up a Wallet
Verify your backup offline and keep recovery material away from chat, email and cloud screenshots.
Learn more →Receive Assets
Confirm the receiving network and address before asking another party to send.
Learn more →Send Assets
Check address, network, amount and gas before signing.
Learn more →Connect to a DApp
Verify the domain, account request and every later signature independently.
Learn more →Wallet capabilities for real tasks
A wallet is more than an asset list. It connects key custody, networks, transactions and permissions.
Send & receive
Review address, network, amount, gas and transaction hash.
imtoken APP
Mobile access to network management, assets, records and DApp connections.
imtoken Web
Use browser connections deliberately: verify the domain, account request, signatures, approvals and disconnection state.
Wallet security
Keep seed phrases and private keys offline and review approval scope.
Explore blockchain networks
Switching a network changes the ledger context you are reading and the contracts you are interacting with.
Multi-chain context
Assets belong to specific networks. Similar addresses do not merge network state.
Public chain basics
Nodes propagate transactions and blocks, while consensus rules decide valid state.
EVM
EVM networks share an execution model but keep separate Chain IDs, gas assets and contracts.
Layer2
Layer 2 systems use different scaling and settlement designs. Bridging may require several stages.
Gas and confirmation status
Fees depend on network demand and execution complexity. Use the transaction hash to verify on-chain status.
A practical wallet path
Each step has a distinct safety check.
01
Get imtoken
Use the official download entry and verify the source.
02
Create or import
Understand key ownership before creating or importing.
03
Back up offline
Keep the seed phrase offline and private.
04
Select the network
Confirm the network before receiving or sending.
05
Receive or send
Check the address, amount and gas.
06
Review transactions & approvals
Use transaction hashes and review permissions regularly.
Web3 & DApp
Review every request, not just the connection
A connected wallet should still evaluate every signature and approval independently.
Open Web3 guide →Visit the DApp
Confirm the domain
Start connection
Review account request
Inspect signature or approval
Complete the action
Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Protect keys, permissions and every transaction decision
Security depends on how keys are backed up, how domains and networks are verified, and how signatures are reviewed. imtoken will never ask for your seed phrase, private key or verification code.
- Back up the seed phrase offline
- Never disclose a private key
- Verify network and address
- Inspect signature requests
- Manage DApp approvals
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, gas, transaction hashes, DApps and approvals. Understanding how they relate makes later operations easier to verify.
Read the guide →Public chains and confirmations
How nodes, blocks and confirmations shape transaction status.
EVM and smart contracts
Understand gas, contracts and token approvals.
Layer 2 basics
Learn the relationship to L1 and cross-layer transfers.
DApp approvals
Review connection, signatures and allowance scope.
Wallet security
Protect keys, devices, transactions and permissions.
Ethereum Staking Basics
Understand validators, reward sources, network status, withdrawals and exits. Rewards are not guaranteed and may change.
Read more →Validator and protocol risk
Validator penalties, contract risk, waiting periods, price volatility and third-party service risk should all be considered.
PoS & Validators →Product, network and security updates
Notices focus on verifiable product, network, security and service information without invented dates or claims.
Network selection reminder
Confirm the exact network before receiving or sending assets.
Transaction review workflow
Use the transaction hash to separate interface display issues from on-chain state.
Approval review
Check spender addresses and remove permissions you no longer need.
Ethereum PoS learning update
Review exits, penalties and protocol state before participating.
Common questions
Quick answers to core wallet, network and security questions.
What is the difference between a seed phrase and a private key?
A seed phrase can recover a set of wallet keys, while a private key directly controls a specific account. Both are highly sensitive and should never be shared with support or entered into an unfamiliar website.
Why can the same address show different balances on different networks?
Each network maintains its own state. Even when EVM addresses look identical, balances, contracts and transaction history are separate.
What should I check before sending assets?
Check the recipient address, network, asset, amount and gas, and confirm the receiving service supports that network.
What is gas?
Gas is the network resource used to execute transactions or smart-contract calls. Cost depends on network conditions, complexity and fee settings.
What is a transaction hash used for?
A transaction hash identifies an on-chain transaction and can be used in a block explorer to inspect status, block inclusion, fees and logs.
Can connecting to a DApp move my assets?
A connection alone usually does not transfer assets, but later signatures, transactions or approvals may change on-chain state.
Are message signatures safe?
A message signature may be used for authentication, orders or permissions. Do not sign content you do not understand.
