Amazing update for asset management of your EVM-chains
Using new chains just got way easier.
With this update your tokens on Polygon, xDai, Fantom, BSC, HECO, OKEx and other EVM-compatible chains are automatically detected.
imToken now also shows your token prices on those new chains.
Using BSC or other DApps? Simply click on ‘Ecosystem Apps’ to start with Layer 2, BSC and others.
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!
In this update we also add a color scheme that lets you distinguish different EVM-compatible chains.
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!
Since other common scams involve DApps, we also strengthened the DApp warnings. Visiting a risky DApp on TRON will show you the reminder below.
imKey hardware wallet supports Nervos (CKB)
imKey is now officially supporting Nervos (CKB). If you hold CKB, you can upgrade to imToken 2.9.4, use imKey to manage CKB wallets and experience transfers.
This currency update does not require hardware replacement and does not involve firmware upgrades. It is suitable for any imKey hardware wallet. You can automatically upgrade through the application to get CKB support.
Adding EVM-compatible chains in imToken also means that you can now use BSC, xDAI, Polygon, HECO and so on with your imKey.
