When creating or importing a wallet or adding a Bitcoin account, you can select different address types based on your actual usage needs.
How to add
1. Open imToken and navigate to "My Profile" -> "Manage wallets" -> "Add"
2. On the "Add accounts to wallet" page, find “Bitcoin” in the Layer 1 section and click "+". You will see four types of addresses: Taproot, Native SegWit (Bech32), Nested SegWit (P2SH), and Legacy.
3. Select the address type you want to add and click "Confirm".
4. Return to the wallet home page to access the newly added BTC account.
Note
1. Native SegWit, Nested SegWit, and Taproot Bitcoin addresses require lower transaction fees compared to Legacy addresses.
2. Under a wallet generated from the same mnemonic phrase, only one account per BTC address type is currently supported.
3. Tokens associated with the four types of addresses are not interchangeable. To transfer tokens, you need to initiate a transaction.
