About imToken
imToken is a mobile self-custody wallet: keys are generated in the device secure area and stored locally, recovered from a mnemonic, never held by a custodian. It combines multi-chain account management, swaps, staking, NFT display and a DApp browser, and connects to external apps through WalletConnect and hardware wallets so signing stays on the device. For ordinary users the barriers are key management, gas and token approvals across chains, which the wallet addresses with pre-execution simulation, allowance warnings and a risk address list before signing.
In the wallet sector it is a general entry point rather than any chain's official client; swap and staking liquidity comes from third parties while the wallet supplies routing and interface, with slippage and yield accruing to those protocols. Keys stay with the user and a lost mnemonic cannot be restored, which leaves support able to diagnose but not recover assets.
imToken was founded by Ben He in 2016, launching a non-custodial digital wallet.
In 2018, imToken open-sourced its core codebase TokenCore, allowing developers to audit the wallet's private key generation logic; private keys are generated locally on users' devices and never transmitted over the network.
In 2018, imToken established imToken Ventures to invest in and incubate early blockchain ecosystem projects, internally developing the imKey hardware wallet and the Tokenlon decentralized exchange protocol.
In 2018, imToken's operating entity imToken Pte. Ltd. was registered in Singapore.
On March 31, 2021, imToken completed a $30 million Series B funding round led by Qiming Venture Partners, with IDG Capital, Breyer Capital, HashKey, Signum Capital, Longling Capital, SNZ and Liang Xinjun participating; on the same day, it announced the establishment of imToken Labs.
On August 28, 2023, imToken formed a strategic partnership with HashKey Exchange, becoming its official non-custodial wallet partner.
On October 18, 2025, imToken issued a security statement responding to concerns about private key randomness in non-custodial wallets raised by U.S. enforcement news, stating that private keys are generated locally by secure random number generators and that both the software wallet and imKey hardware wallet users were unaffected.
In May 2026, imToken held an AI co-creation event for its tenth anniversary and announced a brand repositioning from "Trusted Main Wallet" to "Personal Digital Hub."
In May 2026 imToken marked its tenth anniversary, reframing itself from trusted primary wallet to personal digital hub and running an AI co-creation campaign in which users describe what they want in natural language and receive a starter wallet interface showing only NFTs, AI-related tokens and common actions. Version 2.20.0 that month added TRON TIP-712 signing support and USDT transfers without holding TRX.
On 3 September imToken signed a memorandum of understanding with Japanese payment provider NETSTARS to explore connecting its wallet infrastructure to that firm's stablecoin payment service, so users could pay at physical stores in Japan. NETSTARS had already completed a proof of concept at a Lawson convenience store covering USDC, USDT and JPYC across multiple chains. imToken serves more than 20 million users in over 150 countries across 50-plus blockchains. On security, the team treats clear signing as a baseline for the AI era and argues wallets should evolve from asset containers into granular control centres for authorisation and permissions. The anniversary campaign therefore tested interface generation and permission design together.
Future strategy and roadmap: imToken will treat clear signing, permissions and agent collaboration as core wallet security capabilities, and will validate retail stablecoin payments starting in Japan.
