Hello! We have prepared a tutorial series to help you better understand imToken!

One of the topics of discussion since the launch of EOS mainnet is “how to recover my EOS if the mapping is not done?”. Many methods were explored previously yet no solution was perfect. The most notable is the recovery with ETH private key, however, there were many prerequisites for this method, and many users were not eligible for the process.

The EOS Block Producers (BP) went back to the drawing board and have recently passed a new proposal to help recover unmapped EOS. The newly proposed DApp, already integrated with imToken, allows users to recover unmapped EOS as long as you hold the private key to the corresponding ETH wallet, with no prerequisite to fulfill.

Preparations:

Download the latest version of imToken 2.0 on iOS or Android or Website. Pick a desired EOS account name. Prepare the EOS public key for your new EOS account (The EOS Public Key under the identity will be extracted automatically by the DApp. For users without an EOS Public Key, please obtain it from the EOS account creation step under the wallet management tab in imToken).

Procedures:

Open imToken 2.0, switch to the ETH wallet with unmapped EOS. Under the “Browser” tab, add and open “EOS Recover” DApp. Fill in the desired EOS account name and EOS public key, click on “Sign with Metamask” and proceed (no gas fee will be charged). Once the EOS account is created, the unmapped EOS will be reflected in the created EOS account.

Note: Please re-import the wallet upon successful EOS account creation. The recovered EOS will be staked automatically, you can manually reclaim the staked EOS under “Resource Management” at the EOS wallet page.

If you face any difficulty, please submit a feedback to us via in-app support center, the imToken support team will provide the necessary assistance.
