The Factors Behind Open-sourcing

Blockchain is often referred to one of the most ground-breaking technologies in the twentieth century with potential to positively impact every industry ranging from finance to supply chain to even day-to-day commerce. Blockchain wallets take up the crucial role to enabling interaction between normal users and the blockchain technologies. However, despite being one of the fundamental and essential tool in the blockchain world, there is currently no common, agreeable wallet standards in the industry.

imToken was established in May 2016. Within a short span of 2 two years, imToken has become one of the most popular digital asset management tools globally due mainly to the simplicity of the user interface and the variety of functionalities imToken 2.0 offers.

imToken 2.0 is a feature-rich asset management tool, including multi-chain management supporting the Ethereum, Bitcoin and EOS blockchains as well as easy access to decentralized applications (DApps). The potential imToken offers, the wide user base and user-friendly wallet interface attracted the attention of many different blockchains and DApps projects in the industry.

One lesser known fact is the background of the imToken team. Along with our CEO and founder, Ben He, there are more than 45 team members who excel in different aspects ranging from development, research and execution. Even with a well-balanced team on both the development and operation sides, we have always understood the compounding effect of collective effort from the community, which led us to the eventual decision of open sourcing our TokenCore code. The pros far outweigh the cons.

With that, we call out to all the talented blockchain developers out there, join us on our journey to breakthrough all the skepticisms on wallet development, to build a perfect wallet for all.
