How to add custom tokens to your MetaMask wallet interface so your Arbitrum balances display correctly.
Tokens you receive are always in your wallet โ but they will not appear in the MetaMask interface until you import them. This is a one-time step per token.
The project's official website or documentation will list the contract address. You can also look up popular token addresses on Arbiscan.
โ ๏ธ Warning: Scammers create fake tokens with similar names. Always verify the contract address against the official project source before importing. Never import a contract address sent to you by a stranger.
In MetaMask, scroll down and click Import tokens.
Paste the contract address into the Token Contract Address field. MetaMask will automatically fill in the token symbol and decimals if the contract is verified on-chain. If it does not fill in automatically, enter the details manually.
Click Add Custom Token, then Import Tokens to confirm.
The token balance will now appear in your MetaMask wallet interface. Repeat this process for each new token you want to track.
