imToken will support Ledger, Coolwallet and imKey, an emerging hardware wallet provider backed by imToken Ventures

The imToken’s universal hardware wallet solution allows you to manage your assets with hardware wallets directly in mobile with the imToken app.

Secure management and handling of private keys have always been the topic of discussion among the community and projects especially consumer-facing product. Besides open-sourcing the imToken’s TokenCore codes on Github, we are happy to announce a new hardware wallet solution which enables seamless interaction between supported hardware wallets with the imToken app on mobile. The first batch of partners for the implementation include world-renowned hardware wallet providers Ledger, Coolwallet and imKey, an emerging hardware wallet provider backed by imToken Ventures.

Our Founder & CEO, Ben He mentioned:

“A wholistic hardware wallet support solution coupled with the strategic investment of imKey shows our commitment to the continual improvement of security on asset management. For users, hardware wallets provide a more secure way to manage the private keys without compromising the convenience of executing transactions with mobile on the go using imToken. From our perspective, the implementation of the support for hardware wallets will enhance the interconnectedness between different wallet services, both software-based and hardware-based, propelling the adoption and outreach of cryptocurrency wallets as a whole.”

The collaboration with hardware wallets will expand the usage scenarios of hardware wallets. Besides storage and management of blockchain assets, you will be able to interact with DApps, conduct authorization or more.

More information about the support for Ledger, Coolwallet and imKey will be released subsequently. Extending the support to the above-mentioned hardware wallets will not only bridge the otherwise segregated user base but also progression towards a more integrated world, lowering the barrier of entry for users, helping with mass adoption. Users will be able to manage all the supported hardware wallets with just one imToken app, managing more than three of the most popular public blockchain digital assets: Bitcoin, Ethereum and EOS.

imKey is the first investment since the inauguration of imToken Ventures. The members of the imKey team are well-versed in finance and hardware security, with prior experience from traditional financial hardware products as well as the financial security industry. The first iteration of imKey will be a collaboration between imKey and Feitian, one of the largest financial hardware producers and suppliers in China.

Ben He also mentioned:

“We will provide as much support as required from the imKey team, ranging from technology spectrum to funding requirement as imKey’s vision is well-aligned with my belief for the eventual mass adoption of blockchain technology. With its affordability and the convenience of the design, it will be the hardware wallet for the masses.”

imToken is one of the world’s largest wallets with more than 10 percent of all Ethereum transactions sent by the millions of users worldwide. The wallet app currently supports Ethereum, Bitcoin, and EOS, having created more than 22 million wallet addresses.
