In June 2026, the World Cup brought prediction markets into the spotlight for a broader audience, while making the relationship between AI agents, automated execution, and on-chain interactions feel increasingly tangible.
AI can help users analyze matches, interpret odds, identify opportunities, and even assist with on-chain actions. But as these experiences become more seamless, users need greater clarity about what they are authorizing, whom they are delegating authority to, and how that authority can be revoked.
For imToken, the answer still begins with the wallet. From Store, Send, and Stake to Sign, the wallet is no longer just an entry point for managing assets. It is becoming a critical interface through which users understand permissions, confirm actions, manage identity, and remain in control.
Throughout June, we continued exploring how on-chain experiences can become smoother, more transparent, and more controllable through the imCup 26 World Cup campaign, our Agentic Wallet content, and conversations with developers and ecosystem partners.
