Before Adding a Custom Token, Be Aware of the Risks
Anyone can create a token, including fake or malicious versions of legitimate tokens. Adding custom tokens carries certain risks, which may include:
- Scams
- Malicious or fraudulent tokens that impersonate credible tokens
- Inaccurate token information
- Price volatility and instability
- Ponzi schemes
- Frozen tokens that become unusable
- Tokens with potential security threats, such as those that could steal funds from your wallet
Note:
This list highlights only some risks; others may emerge over time. Always perform thorough research before adding or interacting with any custom token.
Adding a Custom Token with the Trust Wallet Mobile App
- From the main screen, tap the token icon in the top right (or scroll to the bottom of your asset balance and tap Manage crypto).
- Tap the + icon in the top right.
- Select the Network of the token.
- Enter the contract address of the token. It’s best practice to paste it in or use the camera scan feature.
- Other token details like Name, Symbol, and Decimals should auto-populate. If not, verify the contract address and manually input the information as needed.
- Tap Import to complete the addition.
Adding a Custom Token with the Trust Wallet Browser Extension
- On the main screen, scroll to the bottom of your asset balance and select Manage crypto.
- Tap the + icon in the top right.
- Choose the correct Network.
- Paste in the contract address. If the token information populates automatically, simply click Add token.
Note:
If the token does not populate automatically after entering the contract address, proceed as follows:
- Click Add token manually.
- Complete the required fields, including Token Type, Name, Symbol, and Decimals.
- Click Add token to finalize.
