imToken unveils imToken Web, offering a seamless Web3 experience at the Web3 Coffee Carnival during Devcon 7. This initiative aims to integrate crypto into daily life, bridging the gap between blockchain technology and real-world use. Since the start of 2024, the Ethereum community has become increasingly aware that, while the underlying infrastructure is well-developed and a variety of rollup solutions are emerging to tackle the scalability issue, there remains a shortage of practical, consumer-facing applications. At EDCON 2024, Vitalik stated that while Ethereum focused on theory over the past decade, the focus for the next decade would shift toward building impactful, real-world applications. With the regulatory environment expected to improve, the ecosystem now needs to prioritize creating consumer applications that bridge the gap between Web3 and Web2, from liquidity integration to the development of new use cases. At Devcon 7, the community's growing sense of momentum and creativity around consumer applications is evident. So, what would a better user experience look like? Our answer is “Token-centric design” and here’s why: Tokens carry both information and value across the network. They embody the intrinsic value of blockchain utilities as well as digital assets. It’s intuitive to think—and true—that the most direct interactions, as well as the most direct value extraction, occur through tokens. Ethereum ushered in the era of smart contracts, transforming traditional tokens into dynamic, programmable assets. These tokens now go beyond simple value transfer and storage, becoming a novel type of data that evolves continuously, offering possibilities that extend well beyond the realm of text, images, and multimedia. Given their complex and dynamic nature, there is a need for precise, real-time information to detail their states and values—information that is best connected and displayed directly from the token's perspective. As tokens emerge as a new and effective means of storing, transferring, and growing value, it's essential to clearly articulate information about the token itself and the outcomes it can generate. imToken refers to this as "Token Function," which essentially defines what a token can do and the specific outcomes it delivers. This concept promotes an intent-based approach and makes token-centric design a logical evolution for navigating the complex, multi-chain, multi-state nature of tokens. Currently, accessing Web3 often means downloading and creating a wallet, which can be a barrier for newcomers. With imToken's token-centric approach, users start with tokens, seamlessly create accounts using AA (Account Abstraction) technology, and continue interacting with, managing, and operating tokens throughout the journey. A New Frontier: imToken Web Start your token journey! Explore tokens at imToken Web (https://web.token.im) and experience our new token-centric design. Note: imToken Web is currently in beta, offering users a preview of the token-centric experience. As the product is still undergoing rapid iteration, it may contain bugs or vulnerabilities. Please use with caution. imToken welcomes your feedback as we collectively explore the future of tokens.

imToken is turning 8! 🎉🎉🎉 From 2016 to 2024, imToken has been witnessing the ups and downs of the crypto industry alongside all of you. We express our gratitude to every user for their support and companionship, enabling us to keep moving forward. Building a Token-Centric World In 2018, imToken embraced the ethos of open source, infusing fresh energy into the crypto industry with its TokenCore code. However, as the ecosystem continues to evolve, simply patching up old code is no longer the optimal choice. We're committed to embracing innovative solutions that propel us forward in this ever-changing landscape. As the crypto industry rapidly evolves, wallet products need to meet a wider range of needs. We believe the ultimate state of an ideal wallet should be: A shield for users and their families: protecting tokens from compromise, data leaks, and identity tracking. Helping users access the tokenized world with low cost and low threshold: permissionless accounts, affordable hardware, and user-friendly interfaces. Looking ahead, we are steadfast in our belief that "a Token-Centric World" is the best way to achieve this vision. Tokens are changing the way we innovate, share, and interact, whether it's in transfers, payments, NFTs, staking, governance, or in the realms of DeFi and DID. We keenly perceive the profound impact of this paradigm shift. A New Beginning: imToken 2.15 Driven by the concept of "a Token-Centric World," we've dedicated ourselves to crafting imToken 2.15, introducing a revolutionary architecture and design. The flat account system not only enhances flexibility in accommodating diverse account types but also establishes the groundwork for token-centric product design, heralding a fresh beginning. In line with this transformative journey, we've designed a new brand centered around tokens, unveiling it to commemorate our 8th anniversary, symbolizing a pivotal milestone in our evolution. imToken 8th Anniversary More importantly, we have prepared a wealth of surprises and airdrop events, and we sincerely invite you to join us in celebrating imToken's 8th birthday!

What is Osmosis? Osmosis is a decentralized application chain developed using the Cosmos SDK. Since its mainnet launch in June 2021, it has emerged as one of the most active subnets within the Cosmos ecosystem. It facilitates interoperability with other chains like Cosmos, Celestia, Noble, and Axelar through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, broadening its range of applications and user base. According to data from Mintscan, as of this writing, Osmosis's cross-chain transaction volume over the past 14 days constitutes approximately one-third of the total transaction volume across the IBC network. Thanks to its interoperability, security, and developer-friendly features, Osmosis supports a range of DeFi applications, such as the Osmosis DEX, MilkyWay Zone, and Mars Protocol, offering users efficient trading and liquidity services. The native token of Osmosis is OSMO, which can be used by users to pay transaction fees, engage in network governance, provide liquidity, and earn rewards through staking. How It Works The Osmosis chain is built on the Cosmos SDK and utilizes the Tendermint consensus algorithm. It employs an Automated Market Maker (AMM) mechanism to enable decentralized trading and supports cross-chain asset transfers and communication via the IBC protocol. Features Cross-Chain Interoperability: Through the IBC protocol, Osmosis can interact with other chains in the Cosmos ecosystem, enabling the free flow of tokens and information.Decentralized Governance: Token holders can participate in network governance, voting on the direction of the network's development.Scalability: As an independent chain, Osmosis can be tailored and optimized to meet its specific needs, allowing for the effective operation of high-performance DeFi applications.Security: Tendermint provides security guarantees for the network, ensuring stable operation. Learn more: https://docs.osmosis.zone/ How to use Creating an Osmosis account Let's take a look at how to use Osmosis with imToken. First download imToken (https://token.im) to create/import a wallet and add an Osmosis account. Click to check website certificate security To create an Osmosis account, navigate to "My Profile" -> "Manage wallets" -> "Add", select the "Osmosis" network, and confirm. Then, return to the wallet homepage to access your newly created Osmosis account. Now you can transfer/receive tokens and try out popular DApps on the Osmosis network. Cross-Chain Transfers imToken supports cross-chain transfers between Osmosis and Cosmos. When transferring tokens, use the target chain's address as the recipient. After the transaction is confirmed, the tokens will be transferred to the recipient. 1. To transfer tokens from Osmosis to Cosmos: enter the Cosmos recipient address and pay miner fees with OSMO tokens. 2. To transfer from Cosmos to Osmosis: enter the Osmosis recipient address and pay miner fees with ATOM tokens. Receiving and Transferring In the Osmosis account, select the token you want to transfer or receive. Transferring Click “Transfer” then enter the amount and the recipient’s address. Notice: please make sure that there is sufficient OSMO in your wallet to pay for the miner fee before transferring. Receiving Tokens Click “Receive” to share your QR code or wallet address on the page to receive tokens from others. Study Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) The Inter Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) is an interoperability protocol for data transmission and verification between blockchains. The architecture of IBC can be divided into two layers: the transport layer and the application layer. Transport layer: Provides the infrastructure to establish secure connections between blockchains and validate data packets transmitted across chains Application layer: Defines how the data packets should be processed and supports the development of cross-chain applications, such as token transfer, atomic swap, oracle data transmission, etc. COSMOS SDK The COSMOS SDK is a versatile framework designed for creating blockchain application layer services. It offers a range of development tools, including a command-line interface (CLI), a RESTful server, tool libraries, and various business modules (such as accounts, signatures, transfers, staking, governance, and cross-chain communication). Its goal is to simplify the process for developers to build and deploy tailored blockchain applications. Tendermint Core Tendermint Core serves as a foundational consensus and network communication protocol for blockchains, enabling developers to swiftly create new networks built on its framework. Osmosis Ecosystem Applications Osmosis Zone: A decentralized exchangeMintscan: A block explorer to view information about blocks, transactions, wallet addresses, etc., on networks like Osmosis and CosmosMilkyWay Zone: A market for liquidity staking and re-stakingMars Protocol: A lending protocol that supports Osmosis Risk Warning: The content of this article does not constitute any form of investment advice or recommendation. imToken does not make any guarantees and promises for the third-party services and products mentioned in this article, nor assume any responsibility.

Hackers have recently intensified their attacks on crypto project social media accounts, especially Discord and X (formerly Twitter). These channels have been compromised for projects like 1inch, Orderly Network, Sei, Avalanche, ZKsync, and Polygon. High-profile individuals, including members of the Trump family, professional footballer Kylian Mbappé, and NBA player Jaylen Brown, have also been victims of such attacks. These breaches have led to significant losses; for instance, a user lost $150,000 in ETH after Polygon's Discord was breached. This article will highlight common hacking methods and provide tips for safeguarding assets. Common Hacking Methods and High-Risk Periods Hackers often employ phishing attacks, software vulnerabilities, and social engineering to take control of accounts. Once they gain access, they impersonate official accounts and post fake announcements about airdrops, enticing users to click malicious links or download counterfeit Apps. Hacking incidents often surge during critical events like mainnet launches, token issuances, or airdrops. Users, eager to participate, may neglect to verify the authenticity of information, increasing their vulnerability to attacks. By clicking on malicious links and granting wallet permissions, they may unknowingly allow hackers to transfer tokens or compromise their devices with malware. Ava Labs COO Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo Fell Victim to Phishing Attack On August 19, Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo, COO of Ava Labs, fell victim to a phishing attack by clicking a fraudulent password reset link. This led to his X account being compromised, which the hacker then used to promote a fake token named "$PIKA." Attacks on Discord Servers Less than 48 hours after the Polygon Discord server was attacked, the servers of Avalanche and ZKsync also experienced similar breaches. Hackers posted fake links claiming to be for the second round of $ZK airdrops, deceiving users into clicking them. Security Advice for Project Teams Enforce strong password policies and change passwords regularly. Activate two-factor authentication (2FA). Limit account access to only core team members. Regularly review and update third-party applications and integrations to reduce potential vulnerabilities. Develop an emergency response plan for swift action during an attack and timely communication with the community. Security Advice for Users Information Verification: Exercise caution with announcements from official channels, particularly those related to airdrops or urgent actions. Always cross-check information across multiple official sources (such as the official website, X, Medium, etc.) instead of relying on one. Operational Security: Before clicking any link, verify the URL to ensure it’s from a trusted source. Avoid granting token allowance to unfamiliar links, refrain from downloading unverified apps, and keep your software and systems updated to protect against vulnerabilities. Token Management: It’s advisable to store tokens using a combination of software and hardware wallets. Decentralized wallets like imToken, which allow users to manage their own seed phrases and private keys, provide enhanced security. Stay Calm: Scammers exploit fear and greed. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. End Staying vigilant and verifying information from multiple sources is essential to avoid cyberattacks. Continuous learning about security is also crucial due to the evolving nature of hacking techniques.

The latest version of imToken enhances the USDT transfer function for TRX accounts. Upgrading to v2.15.6 allows users to enjoy one-click energy rental and a more streamlined transfer process, reducing fees by up to 50%. Guide 1. Enter the USDT transfer page of your TRON account, input the recipient's address, and you will see two payment options in the gas fee section: Pay TRX to rent energy and Burn TRX. Selecting either option will show the corresponding fees. For energy rental, the fee is 7 TRX, while burning TRX incurs a fee of 14.30 TRX. Apparently, the rental option is more cost-effective. Note: The fees for different methods will vary based on real-time network conditions, so please refer to the actual fees displayed in the App during the transfer. 2. Choose "Pay TRX to rent energy," then click "Rent Energy" - "Send" to initiate the energy rental transaction with Feee.io. Once the transaction is submitted, click "Next" to proceed to the USDT transfer page, and click "Send" to complete the transfer. The "Send to" field in the right image above refers to the Feee.io energy rental address. Please ensure that your TRX balance in the TRON account is greater than the amount required for directly burning TRX when using the "Pay TRX to rent energy" function. Otherwise, you will not be able to use this feature. For example, when transferring to a recipient with a USDT balance, burning TRX will consume around 14 TRX, so ensure your balance exceeds 14. But for recipients without a USDT balance, the TRX consumption increases to about 28 TRX, meaning your balance should be more than 28. Note: If TRON network energy is in shortage, the energy rental option won’t appear. You can either "Burn TRX" to proceed or manually rent energy via the "Rent" button on the TRON account homepage and wait for it to be credited before transferring.
