How to set up a custom network?

Currently, imToken supports three ways to switch networks:

  • Quick Entry
    The quick entry shows Ethereum Layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism, and EVM compatible chains such as BNB Smart Chain and Polygon.
  • Adding Quickly
    When you click Adding Quickly, you will be redirected to EVM Box, which contains the mainnets and testnets of all well-known EVM-compatible chains.
  • Customize
    If the EVM-compatible chain you want to add is not in the EVM Box, you can use Customize. (Developers of EVM-compatible chains can use this function for testing.)

After you switch to an EVM-compatible network, the asset page will display the balance and price of tokens you own on that chain.

Open imToken and enter your ETH wallet, click "Ethereum" to enter the network switch page.
