Support for connection with other hardware / extension wallets for enhanced security
imToken 2.14.0 now supports ERC-4527, allowing you to connect with other wallet products via QR codes. This method facilitates secure and convenient transaction experiences across different wallets. The update primarily provides two connection methods:
1. Connect imToken to extension wallets
Keep your imToken offline, click “>” on the ETH wallet page, and choose “Connect with other wallets” to present the QR code.
In MetaMask, select “QR-based” for scanning. After a successful connection, you can perform transfers, receive funds, and explore various DApps in MetaMask. This method ensures the offline storage of private keys and seamless connection with extension wallets.
It is recommended to keep your imToken offline throughout the whole process.
2. Connect imToken to hardware wallets
You can connect imToken to hardware wallets (e.g., Keystone) and use imToken as a watch-only wallet. Open the wallet page, click the menu bar in the top-left corner, click “+”, then “Connect with other wallets,” and select the wallet you want to connect to. After a successful connection, you can initiate transfer with imToken, confirming transactions by signing on the hardware wallet.
For hardware wallet owners, using imToken as a watch-only wallet facilitates convenient asset management.
Built-in Swap Feature Supporting Exchanges on Polygon
imToken’s built-in swap feature now supports token exchange on Polygon, enhancing the digital asset trading experience. Switch networks by clicking the top-left button on the market page to begin your exchange journey on the Polygon network.
Additionally, to enhance exchange security on the Ethereum network, we have introduced swap protection, ensuring each transaction is MEV-guarded.
Note: Swap protection is currently available only on Ethereum.
Enhanced Security Risk Control System
Added account permission verification when importing Tron wallets
The latest imToken version supports account permission verification when importing Tron wallets. If any changes in account permissions are detected, the import process will pause, prompting you to confirm its safety before proceeding.

Increased imKey Security Usage Guidelines
imToken 2.14.0 automatically checks the status of the imKey hardware wallet during the binding process and provides security usage guidelines. This ensures a user-friendly and secure hardware wallet experience, making it easy and safe to manage digital assets using imKey.
