<h3>What is bandwidth and energy?</h3>
1. The bandwidth represents the number of bytes of the transaction size. For example, if the transfer transaction size is 250 bytes, it will consume 250 bandwidth. 2. Energy represents the time spent on smart contract execution. For example, if smart contract execution consumes 100 μs, it consumes 100 energy.
<h3>How to get bandwidth and energy?</h3>
1. Freeze TRX to get bandwidth or energy, and resource prices fluctuate with the amount of resources and frozen resources provided by the entire network. 2. Obtain energy or bandwidth after freezing TRX and get TRON Power for voting. 3. The resource needs to be thawed for 3 days (starting at the time of freezing), thaw will return TRX, and the corresponding resources and TRON Power will be removed.
<h3>Note:</h3>
1. All transactions need to consume bandwidth, such as transfer and smart contract calls 2. Some transactions need to consume energy, such as smart contract calls (TRC-20 transfer and DApp use) 3. The activation account has a free 5000 bandwidth resource every 24 hours and can be used for more than 10 free transfers per day for TRX and TRX-10 tokens. 4. The bandwidth and energy resources consumed will gradually recover within 24 hours.

How do I transfer EOS tokens from my ETH address?

imToken 2.0 supports transactions under two optional addresses - SegWit address and the General BTC address.
When importing a Bitcoin wallet, you can choose the type of address to be imported. After importing the wallet, you can also switch the address type according to your preferences.
<h3>Operation steps:</h3>
1.Tap the "..." button on the top right corner of the BTC wallet to enter the "Manage" page 
<img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/900000147946/EN-1-1.png" alt="EN-1-1.png">
2.Click the "Toggle Address Type"
3.Select "General", enter the wallet password, you can switch to the general address begins with 1. If you select "Segwit", after entering the wallet password, you can switch to the Segwit address that begins with 3.
<img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/900000148263/EN-2-2.png" alt="EN-2-2.png">
<h3>Attention</h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">
Segwit address transactions require less miner fees than General address transactions
</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The assets of the General address and the Segwit address are not interoperable. But if you want to transfer the asset to another address, you just simply make a transaction to do it
</li>
</ol>

How to switch the Bitcoin address type?

How to Purchase EOS Resources?

EOS uses DPoS consensus algorithm, where 21 community voted Block Producers provide the essential computational power, bandwidth and storage for EOS main platform. When EOS main platform goes live, users will be able to cast votes to their desired Block Producer candidates. One EOS can be staked to be one vote, one vote can be used to vote for up to 30 candidates, counting as one vote for each candidate. Users can subsequently change their intended votes to different candidates, reclaiming the staked EOS, which will be unlocked after 72 hours. So, how do users execute voting in imToken?
Tap “Vote” enter StakeVote page.<img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/360039322494/stakevote1.png" alt="stakevote1.png">

<h3>What is a token allowance</h3>
A token allowance is set to authorize a DApp (Decentralized Application) or DEX (Decentralized Exchange) to manage token on the user’s behalf. After getting the permission, the DApp and DEX can execute some operations for you, with this token.
<h3>Why we need to do it</h3>
Both ERC20 token holders and DApp developers benefit from the approval protocol. Because DApps (decentralized applications) use smart contracts to execute transactions, you must give permission for the smart contract to transfer up to a certain amount of your token (called an allowance). The smart contract will only ever be able to transfer the amount of tokens you approve. This is done, in part, as a security measure for ERC20 token holders.
For example,
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Users want to deposit imBTC to Lendf for interest</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Users need to approve the permissions of imBTC to Lendf, then the smart contract of Lendf to execute transactions to complete the loan process</li>
</ul>
<h3>Pay attention to the following two points when setting allowances:</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Confirm the allowance category</li>
</ul>
The user needs to confirm what kind of permissions the DApp is requesting before     deciding whether to allow it. If a DApp maliciously applies for permission, you must reject.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Confirm allowance amount</li>
</ul>
When DApp and DEX apply for token allowance, users need to know the allowance information, sometimes, you can lower the allowance amount to reduce the risk.
<h3>How to get the full allowance list</h3>
Search the allowance management DApp on the imToken Browse page, find the Token Allowance Checker or Approved Zone, you can use these two DApps to manage token allowance and reduce risk.

Whoever has the Mnemonic is able to use your wallet. So, be sure to do the following two things:
<ul>
<li>Backup your Mnemonic,</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://support.token.im/hc/en-us/articles/360003123113" target="_self">Keep the Mnemonic safe</a> </li>
</ul>
Please note:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Once the Mnemonic is lost, no one can retrieve it</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Do not tell the Mnemonic to anyone, so as to avoid irreparable damage</li>
</ol>
Backup Mnemonic steps:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Accurately transcribe 12 words in the displayed order</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Confirm the Mnemonic, to ensure that the word transcript in step 1 is correct, and the sorting is accurate</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Backup complete</li>
</ol>

How to backup the mnemonic?

Users need an "<a href="https://support.token.im/hc/en-us/articles/360014201973-%E4%B8%80%E5%88%86%E9%92%9F%E4%BA%86%E8%A7%A3%E4%BB%80%E4%B9%88%E6%98%AF%E6%95%B0%E5%AD%97%E8%BA%AB%E4%BB%BD">identity</a>" to use imToken, but an identity can only be recovered by the Mnemonic. So, users who only backed up the private key/Keystore will need to "<a href="https://support.token.im/hc/en-us/articles/360035597853">create identity</a>" and then import the private key / Keystore recovery wallet.
Import private key / Keystore Steps:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Create the identity and enter imToken</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Select "My Profile" in the lower right corner</li>

imToken is a multiple chain wallet and currently supports BTC, ETH, EOS,ATOM COSMOS, so you can see four different types of wallet in imToken.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">You can store BTC and Omni USDT in imToken BTC wallet</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">You can store ETH, ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens in imToken ETH wallet</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">EOS wallet can store EOS and tokens on the EOS chain</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">ATOM can be stored in imToken COSMOS wallet</li>
</ul>

Which tokens are supported by imToken?

imToken is a multi-chain wallet and supports all the token in corresponding chains. Users can add new tokens to their asset list using the search feature. Please <a href="https://support.token.im/hc/en-us/articles/360004344834" target="_self">click here</a> to learn how to search for a token and add it.
With the rapid development of public chain ecosystem, there are more than thousands of tokens on different chains. In order to make it easier for users to manage their tokens, we will choose some popular tokens in community and add it to the imToken token list for users to search. So you can’t find a token when imToken didn’t add it. But if you can’t find it in imToken, it doesn’t mean imToken doesn’t support the token. As long as the token meets the token standard of the chain (click <a href="https://support.token.im/hc/en-us/articles/115001657313" target="_self">here</a> to know more about the standards), you could manage the token in imToken.
<h3>Attention:</h3>
All tokens in the imToken token list are only for the convenience of user management and adding tokens. It doesn’t mean these tokens are backed or reviewed by imToken. Please do not use this as a basis for judging the quality of tokens.

Why can’t I find a token when searching its name?

imToken 2.0 currently only gets the prices from <a href="http://block.cc/" target="_self">block.cc</a> . If you find out that the token listed on it but no price display in wallet page, it means need you to submit information to <a href="https://github.com/consenlabs/token-profile/" target="_self">imToken Github</a>.
We will deal with your request as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please communicate with us in Github.

Why Some Tokens Do Not Show Prices in the Wallet Page?

The risk reminders are indicated by imToken after thorough examination and assessment of users' feedback on potential fraudulent smart contracts, phishing intents or included in the public phishing databases. The indication serves to remind users to transact the tokens with caution.
As a decentralized wallet, all ERC-20 tokens are compatible with imToken wallet. We strongly encourage users to conduct proper due diligence before transacting any tokens. imToken will do its best to remind users after conducting detailed investigations following the information it received, but imToken is not responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the information submitted.

Why are there risk reminders on selected tokens?

Recently, there have been fraudulent incidents caused by malicious tokens with duplicate names. Therefore, imToken 2.0 will add "_UNKNOWN" to the token name for tokens with the same name that have not submitted a Token Profile to help users better distinguish tokens with the same name.
<h3>For imToken users</h3>
If you receive a token marked "_UNKNOWN", please judge carefully to avoid being cheated.
Example: Above is the official HT token of the Huobi exchange. Below are tokens with the same name.
<img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/360044813893/_____20190814114847.jpg" alt="_____20190814114847.jpg" width="545" height="228">
<h3>For token project parties</h3>
If the token issued by the project party is marked with "_UNKNOWN" by default, it indicates that the token has the same name as an existing token. If you need to remove this mark, you can submit Token Profile to imToken, and after passing, you can remove the "_UNKNOWN" mark.
How to submit token information yourself:
<a href="https://github.com/consenlabs/token-profile/blob/master/README.md">https://github.com/consenlabs/token-profile/blob/master/README.md</a>

Why are some tokens marked as _UNKNOWN?

<h3>What is Token Profile?</h3>
Token Profile is the detailed information of the token issued by the project party. imToken 2.0 provides a dedicated display page for the Token Profile, to give users a more complete overview of tokens. The page is located at: Wallet(tab) -&gt; Token(for example, ETH) -&gt; Token Profile Button(right-top corner).
The page is displayed as follows:
<pre class="wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/900000152766/sample.png" alt="sample.png"></pre>
<h3>
<a id="user-content-overview" class="anchor" href="https://github.com/consenlabs/token-profile/blob/master/README.md#overview" aria-hidden="true"></a>Overview</h3>
imToken supports the submission of ERC20 and EOS Token Profile, please select the corresponding tutorial to understand the specific procedures:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/consenlabs/token-profile/blob/master/tutorial/erc20-tutorial.en.md">ERC20 Token Profile Guideline</a></li>

</ul>
<h3>
<a id="user-content-suggestions" class="anchor" href="https://github.com/consenlabs/token-profile/blob/master/README.md#suggestions" aria-hidden="true"></a>Suggestions</h3>
Since the submission of the Token Profile involves many aspects: GitHub usage, Logo design, project information introduction etc, we recommend that the Token Profile submission to be done by your market operations staff, developers, and designers together.
imToken will process the application within 5 business days.

Asset Management

In the Polkadot and Kusama networks, users can pay an additional fee to increase the priority of this transaction and make the transaction successful quickly. This additional fee is the "tip".
<h3>Fee Calculation</h3>
Fees on the Polkadot Relay Chain are calculated based on three parameters:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">A per-byte fee (also known as the "length fee")：The length fee is the product of a constant per-byte fee and the size of the transaction in bytes.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">A weight fee：Weights are a fixed number designed to manage the time is takes to validate a block. Each transaction has a base weight that accounts for the overhead of inclusion (e.g. signature verification) as well as a dispatch weight that accounts for the time to execute the transaction. The total weight is multiplied by a per-weight fee to calculate the transaction's weight fee.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">A tip (optional)：Tips are an optional transaction fee that users can add to give a transaction higher priority.</li>
</ul>
Together, these three fees constitute the inclusion fee. This fee is deducted from the sender's account prior to transaction execution. A portion of the fee will go to the block producer and the remainder will go to the Treasury. At Polkadot's genesis, this is set to 20% and 80%, respectively.

What is Tip？

Due to the unique Cell model of CKB, you need to pay attention to the following when transfer:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Minimum amount of each transfer is 61 CKB</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">After each transfer, the remaining balance of your account must more than 61 CKB or you should clear it all</li>
</ul>
For example,
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">If your wallet totally has 200 CKB, the amount you can send out is 61~139, or send them all.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">If your wallet totally has 120 CKB, you can only choose to send out all 120 CKB, and cannot send other quantities because other quantities cannot meet the above two conditions at the same time.</li>
</ul>
Steps to clear your account:
<ul>
<li>Input the receiver’s address and set the miner fees</li>
<li>Click the balance and it fills the amount automatically</li>
<li>Click the ‘Next’ then enter the correct password</li>
</ul>

CKB transfers FAQ

BCH address has three different formats, imToken supports the CashAddr format. Different wallets and exchanges are supporting different address format. Therefore, please make sure to use the correct address when transferring and receiving coins to avoid asset loss.
<h3>Use imToken to send out BCH</h3>
<img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/900000215186/mceclip0.png" alt="mceclip0.png">
<h3>Use imToken to receive BCH</h3>
<img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/900000215206/mceclip1.png" alt="mceclip1.png">
<h4>Note</h4>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t transfer BCH into BTC wallet address, also do not transfer BTC into BCH wallet address</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Different kind of BCH wallet address are derived from the same private key. You cannot transfer them to each other</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The address format from BCH transaction records in imToken is CashAddr format. For example, you set the Legacy address  1QHHy8EdWSN72Uw5GivUK95U7RGSQMoX35 as recipient address, which will be automatically converted to CashAddr, like bitcoincash: qrl4ldj6p27d602z7y806qs2wz4jdxv3eyq9jgv4gm</li>

Note:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">your assets will not be deducted before the transaction is successful</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">if the transaction fails, the miner will still charge the miner fee and will not be refunded.</li>

Please check it according to the followings:
<img src="https://support.token.im/hc/article_attachments/900000232463/mceclip0.png" alt="mceclip0.png">

What if the transfer is successful but the other party did not receive it?

After a successful transaction, the token has been sent to the address. That means imToken cannot help you to cancel it, because blockchain is irreversible. If you transfer to a wrong address, it is recommended that you contact the person who holds the address and ask him to send the tokens back.
Note:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">If the address is copied from the exchange or another platform, please contact the customer service of the exchange or other platform.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Ethereum wallet addresses are not case sensitive, as long as the letters are correct, there is no problem.</li>
</ol>
 
Keywords: "wrong address", "transfer to a wrong address", "cancel the transaction", "back assets"

What should I do if I transfer to a wrong address?

Generally speaking, the reason why your imToken wallet can’t receive assets is the sender (exchange / individual) didn’t send you the token, so please confirm with the sender in time. 
Note: Some exchanges tips the token to be sent successful, when they actually are not.
<h3>How to confirm whether the sender has sent the token?</h3>
Method 1: (Simple)
Click the "+" button on the assets page of the app and select "All my assets". If you do not see the token, or the amount of the token is incorrect, it means that the token has not been transferred to your wallet. You should contact the sender to transfer the token as soon as possible.
Method 2: (Professional)
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Open the Etherscan DApp from Browser page on the App</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Check if there is a new transfer to your address</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">If there is no transfer record, means the token has not been transferred to your wallet.</li>
</ol>
<h3>If I send the coin to imToken but it is unsupported, what should I do?</h3>
imToken cannot manage unsupported tokens. If this happens, please contact the project technician to solve it.
 
Keywords: "can’t receive coins", "back my assets"

What if imToken can't receive my assets?

First of all, please confirm the following:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The phone network is normal</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Already switched to the corresponding wallet address</li>
</ol>
Then, click the "+" button on the assets page of the app and select "All my assets" to add the token manually.
Additionally, if you have more types of tokens, you can find them by searching.
 
Keywords: "received notification", "assets doesn’t display"

What if I received a transaction notification but the token does not display?

The cost is referred to as a 'fee' with respect to Ethereum. It equals "gas * gas_price." The fees are used to pay the miner to package your transaction. Every transaction has a fee irrespective of the status of the transaction. The two are not connected. 
The fee is deducted by miners, imToken will not charge for transaction fee at this moment.

<h3>Attentions:</h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">If you send ETC to imToken ETH wallet by mistake, you could use the DApp on the 「Browser」page called 「ETC Retrieve」to find it back.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">The format of address of VNT、SMT、CMT、GO and some other tokens is the same as that of an ETH address, but they are different mainnet tokens. So if you send these tokens to an ETH address, according to the project official instructions, you can download the official wallet and then import the ETH wallet’s mnemonic into the official wallet to get the token back. </li>
</ol>

What should I do if I sent a token that is not supported by imToken?

<h4>3. Over-The-Counter (OTC) Trading  and Arbitrage</h4>
Scammers set up a Telegram group and lied to users that they could exchange ETH for other tokens in a certain ratio, tricking users into transferring their digital assets to the scammer's address and returning the users fake tokens. 
How to avoid OTC and Arbitrage scams?
Technically speaking, arbitrage refers to trading between different platforms when there is a large spread to make profit. It demands a large amount of funds and is highly risky. Please do not trust in a man who promises you that arbitrage is risk free. All the more so if that person wants your money upfront. 
 
<h4>4. Fake officials</h4>
Scammers impersonate officials of imToken to contact users claiming to help users solve problems and ask for users’ mnemonic/private key/keystore to be used to transfer coins.
How to avoid fake officials scams?
imToken is a decentralized wallet and will never ask for your mnemonic/private key/keystore which can be used to transfer your coins. If you need help, please contact us via <a href="mailto:support@token.im">support@token.im</a>. 
 
<h4>5. Fake tokens on DEX like Uniswap and Justswap</h4>
Anyone can list their tokens on DEXs, so scammers have listed plenty of fake tokens on DEXs such as Uniswap and Justswap in the hope of tricking people into sending their funds to buy these fake tokens. 
How to avoid fake token scams?
Projects usually publish the contract addresses of the token, the only way to identify, in their official websites or whitepapers. Please match this contract address with the address in the token bar you intend to swap.
 
<h4>End</h4>
Scammers always take advantage of users’ greed to get the trick work. Please remain alert and vigilant to prevent yourself from being cheated while participating in blockchain investment.
If you recognize any suspicious activities such as pyramid schemes and fake apps, you can report to us via <a href="mailto:support@token.im">support@token.im</a> to help more users avoid being deceived.

5 Common Cryptocurrency Scams & How to Avoid Them

In general you can choose to backup mnemonic phrases, keystore or private key of the wallet, but imToken strongly recommends you to backup your wallet mnemonic phrases. 
<h3>Here are the reasons:</h3>
<ol>
<li> Keystore is an encrypted private key, it is not easy to write down all the code correctly. Moreover, users often think that the keystore is secure and they transmit or store it through the network.  It will lead to leaking of keystore which will greatly increase the risk of asset theft.</li>
<li> The security level of the private key is the same as mnemonic phrases. They are both unencrypted private keys. However, it is inconvenient to copy and save the private key. Once the transcription is wrong, it is difficult to correct and retrieve it.</li>
<li> Mnemonic phrases manage multi-chain wallets. Using only one Mnemonic phrase you can manage assets on multiple chains. </li>
</ol>
<h3>Attention:</h3>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">If you lost your mnemonic phrase and you haven’t backed it up, it can’t be retrieved. So after creating the wallet, please backup the phrase immediately.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">A mnemonic is a private key that is not protected by any encryption measures. Once someone gets your mnemonic, it is equivalent to controlling your wallet. Keep the mnemonics away from the internet and do not lose it.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">When backing up mnemonics, the best way to do it is to use physical tools, for example copying them on a piece of paper, or using mnemonic secret storage to backup mnemonics.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">In order to ensure the mnemonic phrase is accurately backed up, the cross-validation method is recommended to ensure the phrase is correct.</li>
</ol>

Why it is so important to backup mnemonic phrases?

imToken is a decentralized wallet that does not store the user's wallet private key or mnemonic phrase, nor does it store user assets. If assets in your wallet are stolen, you should:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Realize that the wallet private key or mnemonic phrase has been leaked, you should immediately create a new wallet and backup the new wallet.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Transfer the assets from your old wallet to the new wallet as soon as possible.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Recall in which situations you might have leaked your wallet private key or mnemonic phrase.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Immediately call your local police and ask them for help.</li>
</ol>
We are very sorry for what you have encountered. Before you ask imToken for help, there are a few things we need to explain first:
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">imToken is a decentralized wallet, it indicates that imToken does not help user to store the private key, nor does it help user to manage their assets.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Again, imToken is a decentralized wallet. We don’t collect users personal information like names or phone numbers, so we may not be able to provide evidence that is useful for the case.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Be sure to provide detailed information to the police and imToken, do not hide the information nor avoid responsibility.</li>
</ol>
Please send all the detailed information to <a href="mailto:hack@token.im">hack@token.im</a>，we have security experts to respond to your request and deal with it.
