Visual Tutorial

Clarify Core Concepts

1. Wallet registration essentials: enter a username, set a password, back up the private key, mnemonic phrase, and Keystore file.
2. imToken only supports ERC‑20 tokens (assets built on the Ethereum ecosystem) and does not support Bitcoin‑derived assets.

• ERC‑20: Ethereum Request for Comments #20, a standard that defines how tokens on Ethereum should behave. Most tokens on the market follow this specification.

1. Bitpie supports a broader range of coins, including BTC and its forks as well as ETH‑based tokens, LTC, ZEC, QTUM, HSR, DASH, DOGE and others.

Explanation of the Black‑Screen Phenomenon

When demonstrating the Bitpie registration process, you may encounter a black screen. The first screen after opening the wallet looks like this:

Tap “Get Started”:

The app then displays a 12‑word mnemonic phrase; you can switch the display language to English in the top‑right corner:

Reason: Bitpie disables screenshots and screen recordings during the onboarding process to improve security, whereas imToken remains functional even when you capture the screen.

How to Fund Your Own Wallet

Below we use the OTC platform OTCBTC to send ETH to an imToken wallet as an example.

Step 1: Obtain the imToken Receiving Address

1. Open imToken, tap ETH → Receive → Copy Address

Step 2: Withdraw from OTCBTC

1. Navigate to Asset Management → My Wallets → Search ETH → Withdraw

1. Create a new withdrawal address and paste the imToken address you just copied (double‑check for accuracy).

1. After confirming the new address, click Withdraw

1. Enter the withdrawal amount, complete the Google CAPTCHA, then submit.

1. Upon successful submission, the page displays the transaction hash (TXID).

1. Click the hash link to view the transaction status on the Ethereum block explorer Etherscan (https://etherscan.io/).

How to Send Funds Out of the Wallet

We illustrate sending ETH from imToken back to OTCBTC.

Step 1: Get the Exchange Deposit Address

1. Log in to OTCBTC, go to Asset Management → My Wallets → Search ETH → Deposit and copy the displayed ETH address.

Step 2: Initiate the Transfer in imToken

1. Open imToken, tap ETH → Transfer

1. Paste the exchange address you copied into the Recipient Address field, enter the amount you wish to send, and keep the gas fee at the default setting (increase it only if you need a faster confirmation).

1. Review the transaction details for accuracy.

1. Enter your wallet password to confirm the transfer.

1. After the transaction is submitted, the screen shows a transaction number (TXID) that you can use for later lookup.

1. Click the TXID to jump to Etherscan for on‑chain details (some wallets also display this information internally).
