Tutorials:Add Tokens to Metamask

Add Tokens to Metamask

Now let's review the Summer tokens transaction from the point of view of the receiving address. The first thing to notice is that Metamask in the receiving address doesn't show anything.

You have to Import the tokens for Metamask to know that you have them.

Metamask asks for confirmation:

Now we can see the tokens in our wallet, notice the Polygon symbol besides the Summer token icon, indicating that this is a Polygon token.

Using the Seasonal Tokens website to Import Tokens

As an example of Web3 functionality, let's use the Seasonal Tokens website to do the operation of importing tokens automatically. This makes it easier to import the four tokens.

1. Visit www.seasonaltokens.org
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page
3. Click on Add Tokens to Metamask
4. Confirm

If we are connected to the Polygon network, the website will add the Polygon tokens. And if we are connected to Ethereum it adds the Ethereum tokens.

Let's add the Polygon and Ethereum tokens to metamask. Notice that all the tokens are shown, even with balance zero. Metamask still shows that the total balance in the wallet is $0.00 USD. This number adds the value of all your assets in the Ethereum OR Polygon network, depending on which network you are connected to.

Connect / Disconnect

Sometimes the website keeps connected to one network even if you change your wallet from one network to another.

You have to disconnect the wallet from the website and re connect again to change networks.

1. Click on the 3 dots to the right of Account 1
