To facilitate the participation of users in the EOS ecosystem, imToken has improved the procedures to register for an EOS account following the release of version 2.1.0. Currently, users have 4 different options for the registration of an EOS account with imToken, catering to different users under different circumstances.

1.Free Account Registration for Users with TokenFans Tokens (TFTs) (Recommended ☆☆☆☆☆)

Under the wallet management page, click on “Select an EOS account” followed by “Register for an EOS account” to go to the registration page. At the registration page, input the desired account name and select “Register EOS Account”.

If the ETH wallet under the main digital identity has equal or more than 3 TFT (TokenFans Token), the user will be eligible for one free EOS account creation. imToken will provide EOS to stake as the resources for the new account, utilizing the resources for the registration (registered account will have a default staked resources of 5.74KB RAM, 26.51KB NET, remainder to be staked as CPU).

PS: TFT is an honorary badge for the TokenFans community, established under Consenlabs. TFT is only issued via official channels for active participants of events or for users who have lent their hand in helping imToken in one form or another; it is non-divisible and non-tradable at the moment.

2.Self-registration, Payment with ETH (Recommended ☆☆☆☆)

Under the wallet management page, click on “Select an EOS account” followed by “Register for an EOS account” to go to the registration page. At the registration page, input the desired account name and select “Register EOS Account”. A payment page with the corresponding registration cost with ETH (varies with market prices) will be displayed.

The actual process for this method is swapping the corresponding ETH for EOS, which is then used to be staked for EOS resources. The registered account will have a default staked resources of 5.74KB RAM, 26.51KB NET, remainder to be staked as CPU. As the prices for EOS RAM, NET and CPU are perpetually changing, the resulting amount of CPU in each account will vary. The default amount of staked resources is chosen to ensure that users are able to execute transactions after the account registration.

This method is recommended for users with ETH wallet, allowing users to complete the registration independently and seamlessly.

3.Share the QR Code with A Friend to Assist with Account Creation (Recommended ☆☆☆)
