What is an account?
imToken Account
In a broad sense, an account is a user's vehicle for managing tokens. It provides users with a means to manage tokens while ensuring accurate recording and viewing of token state changes.
In imToken, accounts are derived from wallets and are used for token management. Each account has a unique address or account name and supports displaying the transaction records and balance of tokens. It allows users to receive, store, and send specific types of tokens.
Characteristics of an imToken Account
Each account in the imToken wallet has a unique derivation path, enabling users to:
- Add accounts for different public chains to manage tokens across multiple chains within the same wallet.
- Add sub-accounts for the same public chain to segregate tokens on a single chain within the same wallet.
This design allows a wallet to derive multiple accounts, including multi-chain, multi-network, and multi-level accounts, providing users with better privacy, security, and backup convenience.
How to Add an Account?
After the wallet creation is completed, you will enter the page for adding accounts. Simply click "+" to select the network and corresponding account you want to add.
If you later want to add more networks to the wallet, you can go to the "Manage wallets" page and click "Add" for the corresponding wallet.
After adding an account, you will be directed to the homepage of the wallet. Click the account name in the top left corner to view all the accounts added to this wallet. If you want to switch to another account, simply click the corresponding network account on the "Select Account" page.
