Amazing update for asset management of your EVM-chains

Using new chains just got way easier.

DeFi asset management on your EVM-chains

The ‘DeFi Portfolio Manager’ is our amazing new tool we introduced in last month’s update. To enter it, simply click on ‘DeFi’ to see all your DeFi balances such as dYdX, Uniswap, Aave, MDEX, Curve, Compound, MakerDAO balances and hundreds more. Read more on our blog.

The DeFi Portfolio now supports all kinds of new chains: Ethereum, BNB, xDAI, Polygon, Fantom, Heco … you name it!

For example, switch to ‘Binance Smart Chain’ and click ‘DeFi’ to see your DeFi Portfolio

In this update we also add a color scheme that lets you distinguish different EVM-compatible chains.

ETH = blue and BSC = yellow

TRON’s risk control security system upgrade

We received feedback about some scams — on TRON — that would ask people to enter their passwords on fake websites.

That’s why we fully upgraded our security system in a way that warns users about risky addresses, as reported by users or discovered by the imToken security team.

When you see the following icon on the TRON chain, please be aware of risks!

Risk reminders

Since other common scams involve DApps, we also strengthened the DApp warnings. Visiting a risky DApp on TRON will show you the reminder below.
