Previously, to swap tokens or stake ETH, you might have had to repeatedly search for DApps and verify if links were safe. Now, imToken simplifies the process by integrating core ecosystem functions—such as swapping, bridging, staking, and managing approvals—directly into the Token Function 🔘. This makes asset management truly efficient and secure.
Before You Start:
-
Open imToken and Tap the menu at the top left of the wallet home page to switch to your Ethereum account.
- If you don't have an Ethereum account yet, go to My Profile - Manage wallets - Add, check Ethereum, and confirm to add it.
- Make sure your Ethereum account has sufficient ETH to pay for network Gas fees and to experience ecosystem applications.
1. Enable Token Function to Discover More
- Tap the token: Tap the ETH token on the account home page to enter the details page.
- One-tap access: Tap the Token Function 🔘 button at the bottom left.
- Explore available functions: Here, you will see common functions related to the token. imToken has curated mainstream applications for each function, covering staking, earning, bridging, trading, and wrapping, helping you access the ecosystem in one stop.
2. Ecosystem Experience - Stake with Lido
Among the many functions, Lido is one of the most representative liquid staking protocols. It allows you to participate in Ethereum network staking while maintaining asset liquidity.
💡 Why choose Lido? Traditional staking requires 32 ETH and involves a lock-up period. With Lido, you can start with any amount of ETH and receive stETH tokens, a token that represents your staked ETH. stETH can be freely used across the ecosystem, helping you unlock additional yield opportunities.

Guide: How to Stake with Lido
1. Connect your Wallet
- In the Token Function list, tap Stake and select Lido.
- Tap Confirm to authorize the wallet connection.
2. Initiate Staking
- Enter the amount of ETH you want to stake.
- Tap Stake and sign the transaction.
3. View Staking Rewards
- Once the transaction is complete, tap Rewards at the bottom of the page.
- stETH Balance: This includes your deposited ETH principal + ETH rewards from the Ethereum network (stETH rewarded). The stETH amount on this page updates automatically every day.
💡 How to add stETH to your wallet home page?
Return to the imToken Ethereum account home page, tap the "+" icon on the right side of the token list. In All My Assets, check stETH to add it.
4. Unstake and Withdraw ETH
If you need to withdraw your ETH from staking, Lido offers two methods:
Method 1: Official Withdrawal (Use Lido)
- Features: 1:1 exchange ratio, waiting period required.
-
Steps: On the Lido page, tap Withdrawals - Enter stETH amount - Tap Request withdrawal. After confirming the amount is correct, tap Confirm to sign, then sign again to initiate the withdrawal transaction.
- 💡 Why is Approval needed? Approval allows the Lido contract to take back your stETH and return ETH to you.
- Waiting Period: Wait approximately 5 days (depending on the network queue shown on the page). Once the waiting period ends, return to this page and tap "Claim" - "Claim ETH" to send a transaction and receive the ETH in your wallet.
Method 2: Quick Swap (Use DEXs)
- Features: Receive funds in minutes.
- Steps: You can swap stETH back to ETH directly via decentralized exchanges (DEXs) such as 1inch or Jumper.
- Note: Subject to market fluctuations, there may be price differences and slippage.
