EVM Chains

imToken EVM Wallet

EVM-compatible chains share familiar 0x addresses, but each network has its own Chain ID, gas token, token contracts, and transaction history.

Ethereum BNB Chain Polygon
Network Board

One 0x address does not mean one network

Before sending, receiving, adding tokens, or approving a DApp, confirm the active network instead of relying only on the address format.

Ethereum Commonly uses ETH to pay gas fees
BNB Chain Uses BNB as the native gas token
Polygon Uses POL or MATIC across the ecosystem
0x8A4...92F1 Same address, separate network checks

Check the current network whenever you receive funds, send tokens, add a token contract, or connect to a DApp.

EVM checks before you act

  • Use official project documents or trusted chain lists before adding a custom network.
  • Confirm that the receiving platform supports the exact EVM network you plan to use.
  • Review token approvals, avoid unlimited allowances when possible, and remove unused permissions.

EVM Wallet FAQ

What is an EVM-compatible wallet?

An EVM-compatible wallet manages assets on networks that follow Ethereum-style accounts and smart contract logic, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

Why can the same 0x address show different balances?

The same 0x address can exist on many EVM networks, but each chain has separate balances, token contracts, gas fees, and transaction history.

Can EVM assets move across chains automatically?

No. A normal transfer stays on the selected network. Moving assets between EVM chains usually requires a bridge, exchange withdrawal, or another supported route.

What is Chain ID used for?

Chain ID identifies the network a wallet or DApp is using. Checking Chain ID helps prevent signing transactions on the wrong chain or adding a fake custom network.

What should I check before adding a custom RPC?

Check the network name, Chain ID, RPC URL, block explorer, and native gas token from official sources or trusted chain lists before adding a custom RPC.

Why do I need a native gas token?

EVM token transfers and contract calls require the network’s native gas asset, such as ETH on Ethereum or Base, BNB on BNB Chain, and POL or MATIC on Polygon.

How should I add a custom token contract?

Use the correct network and copy the token contract from the project website, official announcement, or verified block explorer page, not from ads or group messages.

Is it safe to approve a DApp on an EVM chain?

Approvals can allow a smart contract to spend tokens from your wallet. Review the DApp domain, contract address, allowance amount, and asset before confirming.

What if I withdraw to the wrong EVM network?

Save the transaction hash first. Whether the asset can be recovered depends on the receiving platform, supported networks, and who controls the destination address.

Why is my token not visible after an EVM transfer?

The token may be on a different network, missing from the asset list, using another contract address, or still pending on-chain. Check the address on the correct block explorer.
