# Adding Tokens to the Wallet Interface

Tokens you receive are always in your wallet — but they will not appear in the MetaMask interface until you import them. This is a one-time step per token.

***

## Steps

### 1. Find the Token Contract Address

The project's official website or documentation will list the contract address. You can also look up popular token addresses on [Arbiscan](https://arbiscan.io/).

> ⚠️ **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.

### 2. Open MetaMask and Import Token

In MetaMask, scroll down and click **Import tokens**.

### 3. Paste the Contract Address

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.

### 4. Add the Token

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.
