Adding custom tokens to phantom wallet

Adding custom tokens to your Phantom Wallet involves a few simple steps. Phantom Wallet supports SPL tokens (Solana blockchain) and ERC-20 tokens (Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains). Here's how to add them:

Adding a Custom SPL Token (Solana)

1. 

   Open Phantom Wallet

• Launch the Phantom app or browser extension.

• Ensure you're on the Solana network.

2. Find the Token Address

• Obtain the correct SPL token mint address (e.g., from Solscan, the project's official website, or a trusted source).

3. Add the Token

• Click the "Tokens" tab.

• Scroll down and select "Add Token".

• Paste the SPL token mint address.

• Confirm the token details (symbol, decimals) and click "Add Token".

4. Verify the Token

• The token should now appear in your wallet.

• If it doesn’t show a balance, ensure you own some of the token.

Adding a Custom ERC-20 Token (Ethereum/Polygon/etc.)

1. Switch to the Correct Network

• In Phantom, switch to Ethereum, Polygon, or another EVM-compatible chain.

2. Find the Token Contract Address

• Get the ERC-20 token contract address (e.g., from Etherscan, Polygonscan, or the project’s official docs).

3. Add the Token

• Go to the "Tokens" section.

• Click "Add Token".

• Paste the contract address.

• Phantom should auto-fill the symbol and decimals.

• Confirm and click "Add Token".

4. Check Your Balance

• The token should now appear in your wallet if you hold any.

Troubleshooting

• Token not appearing?

• Double-check the contract/mint address.

• Ensure you’re on the correct blockchain (Solana vs. Ethereum).

• Some tokens require manual decimal adjustment (rare).

• Scam risks?

• Only add tokens from trusted sources to avoid malicious addresses.

Conclusion

Phantom makes it easy to add custom tokens for both Solana (SPL) and Ethereum (ERC-20). Always verify token addresses before adding them to avoid scams.
