Looking for a user-friendly Layer2 wallet? Try imToken with integrated community activities.

If you have ever silently exited the transfer page due to expensive mining fees, then this article is tailored for you.

Through this introduction, you can understand how to enter the Layer2 ecosystem and experience fast, low-cost transfers and rich applications with the imToken wallet.

What is Layer2?

Ethereum is the most vibrant "city" in the current blockchain world, but due to performance limitations of its infrastructure, the network often gets congested (resulting in expensive transfer fees in practical experience), hence Ethereum needs to scale.

Layer2 is one of the mainstream solutions for Ethereum scaling, by moving a large amount of computation and storage requirements from Ethereum mainnet, i.e., Layer1, to Layer2 to improve Ethereum's performance.

Common Layer2 solutions include: Optimistic Rollup; ZK Rollup; sidechains; Validium, etc.

imToken Supports Custom Nodes

Through the custom node feature, you can quickly switch between different Layer2 networks in imToken, such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, etc.

Additionally, imToken supports automatic token discovery and price display on Layer2 networks, as well as asset display within various DeFi protocols on Layer2 networks, helping Layer2 users better manage assets.

How to operate, using Arbitrum as an example

Deposit

Before using the Arbitrum wallet, it is recommended to deposit first for subsequent transfers and DApp usage.
You can deposit in two ways:
Withdraw from exchanges that support the Arbitrum network (such as Binance, FTX, etc.) to your address (the receiving address is an Ethereum address)
Use the Arbitrum Bridge DApp to deposit tokens from your ETH wallet to your Arbitrum address

Switch Networks

Go to the assets page of the ETH wallet, click "Ethereum Mainnet" under "Wallet", select "Arbitrum" on the pop-up page to switch to the Arbitrum network

Experience Layer2 Applications

Scroll down on the "Explore" page to see the Arbitrum category, which includes the most popular DApps in the Arbitrum ecosystem
