2019 — Starting the New Year with awesome new features — For the last January Update, check here.

What we’ve learnt from Annual Meeting

In the past 2018, the bear market has “expanded” the vision of both ordinary users and project parties, and things can always develop in an unexpected direction. But like the beautiful Chinese saying shows: 种树者必培其根,种德者必养其心, meaning, those who plant trees must cultivate their roots, and those who plant virtue must cultivate their hearts.

2019, if you still have expectations for the blockchain, then we share the same vision.

Introducing Biometric Verification Feature & Advanced Support for Collectibles

One of the most fundamental functions of a wallet is the transaction execution. Manually inputting passwords for every transaction is not the best practice. Now you can experience seamless and immediate payment while ensuring security in imToken 2.0. Find out more.

To experience the new features, click below to get imToken 2.0 in your favorite app store:

… or directly on www.token.im

imToken 2.0 now lets you see all ERC721 collectible tokens in one place! ERC721 is the common standard for collectibles, such as Gods Unchained 🃏, CryptoKitties 🐱, Decentraland 🏝 , Hyperdragons🐉, MyCryptoHeroes on Ethereum. Buy one on the OpenSea DApp and try yourself. Read more below:

Introducing 12,000 users to Maker CDP

Introducing Ethereum-based DApps to users is already hard, but making those fun and useful is an even bigger challenge. The threshold for using DApps is comparatively high, especially for financial DApps.

However, in the activity with MakerDAO, more than 30,000 users participated in the event, and 40% of them experienced the “Maker CDP” for the first time. If you have an in-depth understanding and realize that these lending operations are not controlled by a centralized organization, you may feel a little surprised.

Similar Defi (Decentralized Finance) products are emerging. Perhaps in the future, decentralized financial management will become the first choice of investors.

Thanks to our friends at MakerDAO!

Free Kyber Network Hongbaos

This was a pure blessing for our users during Spring Festival. You were able to experience Kyber Swap and receiving goodies by simply opening the DApp and using it…

If you missed this Kyber Hongbao (Chinese for: Red Envelope) event, don’t be discouraged, there will be more activities waiting for you to participate in the future, let us surprise you!
