ImToken (Wallet Review) - World's Largest Ethereum Digital Asset Wallet

in #blog5 years ago (edited)

The need to have a secure and user friendly wallet, have been overlooked by many newbies in the cryptocurrency world. That has led to series of stolen tokens/coins. It is not nice to get your tokens/coins stolen, after all your hard work, discipline and sacrifice. It's very sad and a good number of people have experienced this. When I was a newbie to the cryptocurrency world back then, I asked around and did my research on which crypto wallet is safe and also user friendly. I arrived at a Crypto Wallet called ImToken. I will be giving my honest review about this awesome wallet that currently sits at number 21 on the StateOfTheDApp wallet category rankings. I highly recommend you find somewhere quiet to read through this informative and interesting review of the ImToken wallet, that I made just for you.

Updated ImToken Wallet 2.0


ImToken Wallet was strictly an Ethereum wallet. With the adoption and usage of the mobile application by millions of users worldwide, there was the need for the Wallet to support not only Ethereum tokens/coins but also BTC, COSMOS and EOS tokens/coins. But that was not the only reason for the upgrade. Let me give you guys three of the most important features added to the updated version of ImToken Wallet.


Token Swap

Yea, we have all by there(most of us), where you have to transfer your crypto tokens/coins to an exchange platform just because you want to swap from one token/coin to another. Apart from the time wasted, you are also going to incur some transaction fees, which can be very annoying. All these issues can be eliminated with the ImToken Wallet 2.0. This wallet offers a one click token swap option - Instant Exchange Option. Just choose your desired pairing tokens, select amount, click and boom!!! Your tokens are swapped instantly.

Practical Tutorial On How To Set Up Your ImToken Wallet.


After seeing those awesome features, I know most of you want to start using the ImToken Wallet immediately. Without wasting any much time, let's get started.


First thing first, you will have to install the ImToken Wallet, by clicking here for Android users and here for IOS users. After you have downloaded and installed it.


Open the application, you will be asked if you want to create identity, meaning, create a new Imtoken account. Or if you want to recover identity, meaning, if you want to import an account. You should click on Create Identity. ImToken wallet supports multiple languages, you can choose the language of your choice, by clicking on English which is located at the bottom right corner of the page.

When you are done storing/writing down your mnemonic keys, click on Next. After you have clicked on Next, you will be asked to confirm your mnemonic keys. Select your mnemonic keys in the correct order and then click Done.

I'm a lover of games. I use the ImToken to play my Hyperdragons (you can check the review I made on this awesome crypto game, here). If you want to play DApps games or use some DApps, you can do it easily on ImToken by clicking on Browser.
