How to add Metamask token icon?
For Developer: The token search box and auto-detection feature are part of a centralized solution. We encourage developers to use the EIP-747 method. When users open their MetaMask, they see various assets, including tokens. By default, MetaMask automatically detects some of the major popular tokens and displays them automatically, but for most tokens, users need to add the tokens themselves.
While this is possible using Metamask UI and the Add Token button, the process can be cumbersome, involves user interaction with the contract address, and is very error-prone.
By leveraging the wallet_watchAsset API defined in EIP-747, you can greatly improve the security and experience of users adding your tokens to their MetaMask.
For User: Automatic Adding
- Open the Metamask browser extension and click on the logo in the upper right corner.
- Go to Settings, then Experiments.
- Switch the slider to the ON position.
- Go back to the asset list and refresh it to see if your custom token has been picked up.
For User: Manually Adding
- Open the Metamask extension browser and click on "Assets".
- Press the "Import Token" button at the bottom of the asset list screen.
- Enter the token you want to add in the search bar that appears.
- Select a custom token from the list and click Next.
- Now click "Import Tokens" to include custom tokens in your asset list.
- Metamask will redirect you to the account page. Your new token will now be added to your crypto wallet.
I hope this article will help you to learn how to add MetaMask token icon. You can find instructions on how to integrate the wallet_watchAsset API defined in EIP-747 without creating code, as well as more advanced code examples that include the option to set a logo or icon for your token. This will allow your users to add your tokens to their MetaMask wallets and view them easily.
