Introducing Cosmos imKey hardware wallet support

Since April 17, imToken 2.3.1 officially supports native USDT
On April 26th we announced imToken supporting:

  • Send & Receive ATOM (+ technically Cosmos IBC tokens) ✅ (with custom Memo and fingerprint/face-id)
  • Delegate ATOMs and earn interest ✅
  • Re-delegate to other validators ✅
  • Withdraw of delegated ATOMs ✅
  • Watch the Staking as it happens, live in your wallet ✅

Since then we added:

imKey over-the-air-updates

imKey will gradually add more chains in the future, automatically adding it to your personal imKey via over-the-air updates.

👮 As a non-custodial mobile wallet imToken does not hold or have access to user’s funds.

🏦 imToken’s core code is open source and security audited by two independent security firm Slowmist and Cure53 (see). For this new release, we also had the new Cosmos features security audited (see).

🔑 The new imKey bluetooth hardware wallet that connects to imToken will support ATOMs soon and support for Ledger’s Nano X is in research as well.

Better BTC Miner Fee

In this version, we adjust the miner fee and introduce more price sources to help you spend less on Bitcoin miner fees.

We also provide you with the option of customizing the miner fee, via gently moving the slide bar to open the advanced mode: Pick the Rabbit for fast and Turtle for slow transactions.

It is recommended to use the default miner’s fee for BTC transfer, under which your transaction is expected to be confirmed within 2 bitcoin blocks (about 20 minutes).

If you would like to know more about the specific mechanism of Bitcoin’s miner fees, read here.

Optimized Bitcoin Miner Fee Interface to pick your own speed ;)
