The process of adding tokens to the MetaMask Wallet
Ethereum is one of the popular tokens that is by default added under the assets tab of the MetaMask wallet, but some people use the other tokens that work on Ethereum blockchain smart contracts. So there is the following process of adding the other tokens like ERC-20/72 in the MetaMask wallet under assets, and you can add the amount in these tokens by sending the tokens from your crypto exchange wallet to the MetaMask’s token wallet given below:-
- The first step is to set up an account on the MetaMask wallet to avail of this wallet’s features. It is effortless to create an account on this wallet by only filling in the basic details and setting up a strong password that you can keep in a secret place. Now download and install it on your chrome extension to easily do the transactions using MetaMask wallet.
- Now click on the icon of the MetaMask wallet and go to the applications; if you are using a mobile device, download the MetaMask wallet from the play store, set up an account, or log in and open the applications.
- The next step is to click on the Add token under the asset tab, and here you can add multiple tokens, but Ethereum is skippable because it will automatically appear under the assets tab. So skip the process and add the other tokens you want to use.
- Search for the tokens you want to add, such as OXT, KCS, UNI, DAI, etc. There are many tokens that you can select according to the requirement. After choosing the token, click on the next button to process, and your receipt will start appearing under the assets tab that you can fill with the actual amount by sending it from the crypto exchange to the MetaMask wallet.
- The above four points are the first process of adding the tokens into the Metamask wallet, but the other way is to custom add, which is not preferable. But if you want to add a specific token that you are not getting, you can go with it.
- Click on the Add token, and by default, it will be on the search tab. Now, click on the Custom token tab to add tickets custom. If it looks complex, you can go to a website (etherscan) to check the token contract address of the token you want to add, and the next step is to copy the address and paste it into the box; all the other things remain the same. If you are doing all the processes on a mobile device, all the functions will be the same, but you will have trouble copying and pasting the things from the application.
So adding the tokens into the Metamask wallet is very straightforward, and everyone can do it without getting into trouble.
