How to add a custom token to the Phantom Wallet Chrome extension?

Adding a custom token to the Phantom Wallet Chrome extension is a straightforward process. Here's how you can do it:

Steps to Add a Custom Token in Phantom Wallet

1. 

   Open Phantom Wallet

• Click on the Phantom Wallet extension icon in your Chrome browser.

• Unlock your wallet if needed.

2. Go to the Token Section

• Click on the "Tokens" tab in the wallet interface.

3. Click "Add Token"

• Scroll down and click the "Add Custom Token" button.

4. Enter Token Details

• Token Mint Address: Paste the token's mint address (the unique identifier on the Solana blockchain).
  (You can find this on Solana explorers like Solscan or the token's official website.)

• Phantom will auto-fill the Token Symbol and Decimals if the address is valid.

5. Confirm & Add

• Click "Add Token" to confirm.

• The token should now appear in your wallet's token list.

Important Notes

• Verify the Token Address: Always double-check the mint address to avoid scams or fake tokens.

• Token Visibility: If the token doesn’t appear, try refreshing the wallet or checking the address again.

• SPL Tokens Only: Phantom supports SPL tokens (Solana's token standard), not other blockchain tokens (e.g., ERC-20).

Troubleshooting

• If the token isn’t detected, ensure it’s a valid SPL token on Solana.

• Some scam tokens may appear—always research before adding unknown tokens.
