Update on imBTC Operations: Tokenlon to cease cross-chain gateway services

imToken 2.4.11 Update:

  • Copy or share the wallet address more easily on the receive page
  • Transfer BTC/ETH to friends, a domain name is enough! With our support of .eth /.zil multichain domains, thanks to Ethereum Name Service and Unstoppable Domains (Unstoppable Domains)
  • imKey supports BTC OP_RETURN
  • More optimization and repair

Multi-chain transfer, one domain name is enough

Maybe you remember ENS as the “easy to remember Ethereum address”, which makes it easy to remember the long list of random numbers and letters that is an Ethereum address. Surprisingly, after more than two years of development, ENS now supports multiple cryptocurrencies.

This means that when you transfer money to a friend, you don’t need to fill in the address of the wallet, for any chain: Bitcoin, EOS, Ethereum, you name it. If you transfer tokens in imToken 2.4.11, enter a .eth /.zil multi-chain domain name for improved efficiency.

Not sure what is parsing? Simply put:

Alice has an ENS short domain name (balabala.eth). When Bob transfers, the short domain name is filled in the payment address. imToken will automatically parse the domain name according to the parameters, and find the corresponding ETH wallet address: 0xda1d0c7f174effba98ea1e31424418dc9aeaea22. Of course, if you fill in a domain name that does not exist, you will get an error saying “The wallet address of the ENS domain name could not be found”.

Unstoppable Domains

Being similar to ENS, Unstoppable Domains allows you to send cryptocurrency via recipient’s blockchain domain. Send Bitcoin, Ethereum with just one domain. Support for more chains will be coming.

So far, imToken support sending to .zil and .eth addresses, but soon there will be even more:

Receive page optimization, copy/share address in one go

Tap the address on top of the wallet

In imToken 2.4.10, we have completed the optimization of the new user experience, making the wallet creation, import/backup process even smoother. Iin this version you can copy or share addresses more easily on the receive page.

How to enter the receive page:

  • Select any wallet, tap the wallet address at the top of the wallet to display
  • Slide to the right on the asset to receive, such as DAI

(Note: ETH wallet address can be used to receive all ERC 20 tokens)

📌 How to buy ENS domains?

Select the “Browse” page — Find the “ENS” DApp under “Tools” and search for a name. Find the tutorial for a complete guide on how to purchase.

imKey supports BTC OP_RETURN

Right slide to receive

Following imToken in supporting BTC OP_RETURN, imKey also completed support. In simple terms, OP_RETURN is a function of “storing information” on the Bitcoin network, i.e. by writing hexadecimal characters to the Bitcoin network. With “OP_RETURN” the irreversible advantages of the BTC network can be used to permanently record important information on the blockchain, or to perform special operations (such as ChainX mining, imBTC subscriptions, etc.).

The imBTC issuance phase is over, but you can still get the interest by purchasing imBTC on Tokenlon:

  • How to purchase imBTC: Select the “Marketing” page — Use ETH / USDT in Tokenlon to redeem imBTC
  • imBTC Details: Select “Browse” page — Open “imBTC” DApp — all you want to know is here

Read how to set up OP_RETURN
