Multi-chain Assets
Understand where assets live by network and distinguish parameters, addresses, and confirmation state instead of treating separate chains as one shared ledger.

Manage Multi-chain Assets and Connect to Web3 with Clarity
A multi-chain wallet, blockchain network and Web3 knowledge hub from imtoken
Use one clear framework to understand multi-chain assets, network selection, sending and receiving, DApp connections, token approvals, and wallet security. imtoken also explains public chains, EVM networks, Layer 2 systems, gas, confirmations, and on-chain records so each action can be understood before it is approved and verified afterward.
Start with a task
Five common actions, each with a clear check
01Create a WalletUnderstand creation versus import and establish who controls the wallet from the start.02Back Up a WalletKeep recovery material offline and never send it to another person.03Receive AssetsConfirm the receiving network before sharing an address.04Send AssetsReview the address, network, amount, gas, and transaction details.05Connect to a DAppConnection is only the start; signatures and approvals still need separate review.
Wallet capabilities
Assets, networks, connections, and security belong in one workflow
Send & Receive
Verify the receiving network and address, then review amount, gas, transaction hash, and confirmation state when sending.

Wallet Security
Your seed phrase and private keys remain under your control. imtoken staff will never ask for them or for your verification code.
Open the security center →Multi-chain Networks
A multi-chain wallet can organize activity across chains, but assets, gas, transactions, and contracts remain network-specific. Identify the network before reviewing the address and target.

Public Chains
Nodes maintain a shared ledger, transactions enter blocks, and later blocks can increase confirmation depth. Block explorers help verify state and fees.

EVM Networks
EVM networks share many account and smart-contract concepts, but chain IDs, gas assets, balances, and deployments remain independent.

Layer 2
Layer 2 systems often depend on a base layer for settlement or security. Cross-layer actions may involve bridges, waiting periods, and separate confirmation stages.
Continue readingGas & Confirmations
Gas reflects computation and block-space cost. Network conditions can affect fees and waiting time, while a transaction hash is a key reference for confirmation progress.

Make security checks part of every step
- 01
Get imtoken
Use the site’s single download entry point rather than unverified installation files.
- 02
Create or import a wallet
Know the difference and never hand recovery material to a third party.
- 03
Back up offline
Store the seed phrase offline. Avoid screenshots, shared cloud storage, or chat messages.
- 04
Select and verify the network
Check the network name, gas asset, and destination before acting.
- 05
Receive or send assets
Review address, network, and amount; consider a small test transfer for important sends.
- 06
Check transactions and approvals
Keep the transaction hash, verify on-chain state, and review permissions you no longer need.
Web3 & DApps
A connection is only the beginning; review every request separately
Connecting a wallet does not mean every later signature or approval should be accepted. Treat each request as a new decision.
Open the Web3 guide →- Visit the DApp
- Verify the domain
- Start a connection
- Review account requests
- Check the signature or approval
- Complete the action
- Disconnect unused sessions
Security
Control, verification, and limited permissions are the core of everyday wallet safety
Your seed phrase and private keys remain under your control, and legitimate imtoken staff will never request them. Review the address, network, and amount before sending. When using a third-party DApp, verify the domain, request details, and approval scope. On-chain transactions generally cannot be reversed by a wallet alone, and smart contracts can introduce technical risks, so the strongest habit is to review before confirming rather than rely on recovery afterward.

- Do not reveal private keys

Academy · Featured introduction
What Should You Understand Before Using a Digital Wallet?
Start with addresses, seed phrases, private keys, networks, and gas. Then learn transaction hashes, DApps, and token approvals. Once those concepts are clear, you can evaluate on-chain actions consistently even when the interface changes.

FAQ
Resolve common misconceptions quickly
Does a wallet store the assets themselves?
A wallet manages keys and account views; the asset records live on their respective blockchain networks.
Does connecting to a DApp automatically move assets?
A connection usually establishes a session, while later signatures, approvals, and transactions need separate review.
What is a transaction hash used for?
It is a key reference for locating and verifying a transaction on the corresponding block explorer.
Why can gas fees change?
Gas depends on network rules, computation, and demand for block space, so fees can move with network conditions.
Should I share a seed phrase with support?
No. imtoken staff will never request your seed phrase, private key, or verification code.
Does staking guarantee returns?
No. Rewards, waiting periods, protocol penalties, technical risk, and market conditions can all change.
