The update is as follows 👇👇👇

  • Optimized signing experience and risk control system for 11 chains
  • Getting tokens is now more convenient with cross-chain bridge transfers
  • Batch management of ETH validators enabled for improved efficiency
  • Upgraded WalletConnect 2.0 for a smoother desktop experience
  • Supported Scroll, the native zkEVM Layer 2 solution

Extended “You Sign What You see” and Risk Control Features to 11 More Chains

The previous imToken update brought the “You Sign What You See” feature to Ethereum. This new release extends this intuitive signing experience to 11 more chains — Bitcoin, Cosmos, Tron, Nervos, BCH, Litecoin, Polkadot, Kusama, Filecoin, Tezos and EOS.

We’ve also upgraded the risk control system of these chains. Users will receive alerts for triggered risks, like compromised account permissions when accessing risky DApps.

Get Tokens with Cross-Chain Bridge Transfers

To make it easier for users to obtain digital assets, imToken has provided a “Get tokens” entry that supports easily acquiring tokens through purchases, withdrawals from exchanges, and transfers from other wallets.

In this update, we have added “Transfer with cross-chain bridge” under the “Get Tokens” entry for Layer 2 networks. Users on Arbitrum and Optimism can now click “Get tokens” — “Transfer with cross-chain bridge”, choose a bridge and transfer in assets from other networks to start their Layer 2 journey.

Note: “Deposit” and “Withdraw” are now consolidated under “Bridge”. If you want to make cross-chain deposits and withdrawals on Layer 2 networks, click “Bridge.”

Batch Operations of ETH Validators

No matter how much ETH you hold, you can easily participate in a staking pool or non-custodial staking through imToken to enjoy stable returns.

imToken 2.13.5 enhances staking services with validator batch management, streamlining batch exit and withdrawal setup. Validators are now categorized by associated wallets for simplified management and improved staking experience.

WalletConnect 2.0 Optimization for Smoother Desktop Experience

To deliver a more stable and secure DApp interaction, we’ve fully supported WalletConnect 2.0 since June, enabling imToken users to scan QR codes and connect with desktop DApps across multiple chains. This allows seamless DApp engagement across networks.

imToken 2.13.5 improves WalletConnect 2.0 functionality with clearer connection prompts and operation guides, further strengthening stability and security when accessing DApps via WalletConnect 2.0.

Supported Scroll, the Native zkEVM Layer 2 Solution

This zkEVM-powered Layer 2 solution natively supports EVM and provides scalability. Major protocols like Sushi and Aave have already joined its thriving ecosystem.
