Thanks to our integration with WalletConnect, you can now use your imToken wallet with any supported DApp on your desktop browser.

Simply scan the WalletConnect QR code on your favorite DApp to establish a connection between your imToken wallet and desktop browser — as simple as login into WhatsApp web or scanning any QR code:

Click ‘WalletConnect’ in your desktop DApp
Click the scan symbol in your imToken wallet’s upper right corner & scan the QR code

Additionally, some iOS/Android and Web apps let you use imToken as a wallet via WalletConnect.

… more updates:

Trade on Tokenlon without having to spend ETH on token authorization and transaction

If you have used any DEX before, you know that a small amount of ETH must be kept in the wallet to pay the miner’s fee for both token authorization as well as actual trade. The problem that we encountered is, that you might not have enough ETH in your wallet.

imToken 2.5.8 solves this problem to be more friendly to new users.

If you use imToken — for example — to exchange USDT for PAX for the first time, while your ETH balance is 0, you can still complete the exchange in the new version without worrying about authorization.

Easy access to your favorite block explorer for Bitcoin, Ethereum and all other chains

Using imToken, you might need to check a blockchain explorer to determine transaction status. Therefore, easy access to good block explorers are precious.

With this imToken update, we unify the block browser entrance, you will find “Blockchain Browser” under “Recommended”. Select your corresponding public chain and wallet to quickly check the transaction status.
