How do I add a custom token to my MetaMask wallet?
Adding a custom token to MetaMask is pretty straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Open MetaMask: First, make sure you have the MetaMask browser extension installed in your browser and that it's unlocked.
Access Token Menu: Click on the MetaMask extension icon in your browser's toolbar to open the MetaMask interface.
Switch to the Correct Network: Ensure you're connected to the correct network (e.g., Ethereum Mainnet, Binance Smart Chain, etc.) where the token you want to add exists.
Open Assets Tab: In the MetaMask window, click on "Assets".
Add Token: Scroll down and click on "Add Token".
Custom Token: Choose the "Custom Token" tab.
Enter Token Contract Address: Paste the contract address of the token you want to add into the "Token Contract Address" field.
Token Symbol and Decimals: MetaMask will attempt to auto-fill the token symbol and decimals, but if it doesn't, you may need to enter them manually. You can usually find this information on the token's website or through a token explorer like Etherscan.
Add Token: Click "Next" and then "Add Tokens" to confirm.
Once added, you should see the custom token listed among your assets in MetaMask. Keep in mind that adding a custom token won't give you ownership of the token unless you actually own some of it. It simply allows MetaMask to display the token balance associated with your wallet.
