We're pleased to announce that imToken now supports Celo, an EVM-compatible chain aiming to “build a financial system that creates the conditions for prosperity—for everyone.”
Benefits of using Celo with imToken

Next, click "Create", write down the mnemonic (i.e. 12 English words) with pen and paper and keep it in a safe place. Confirm the mnemonic in order again and click "Next" to finish the Identity creation.
Note: Never share your mnemonic with anyone. Anyone who has your mnemonic could send tokens out of your wallet without your consent.
