Add tokens and networks
To show a token on your home screen, tap + next to Crypto on the Wallet tab, choose the network, select the token and tap Confirm. Add a custom token or network only when FxWallet doesn't list it, and take its details only from an official source: a fake token or network can show you balances that aren't real.
Add a custom token
- On Add Crypto, scroll to the bottom and tap Add custom token.
- Choose the token's network, enter its contract address and the other details, then tap Save.
Copy the contract address from the project's official website or a block explorer, never from a chat, an ad or an airdrop. Scam tokens copy the names and logos of real ones. See Fake token and offline trading scams.
Add a custom network
You can add EVM networks only, and only networks that FxWallet doesn't have yet.
Add a network only when you need it, with details you found yourself in the network's official documentation. FxWallet reads the network through its RPC URL: the provider of an RPC URL sees your addresses and the transactions you send, and a fake one can show you balances and transactions that aren't real. Being told to add a network, by a stranger, a "support agent" or a website, is a common scam. See Fake balances on a custom network.
Go to Me → Network → Custom networks → Add Network → Customize, enter the network's chain ID, name, RPC URL and currency symbol, and its block explorer if it has one, then tap Confirm.
- If FxWallet says Chain already exists, it already has that network: choose it from the network list instead.
- A network's name and symbol can be anything. A custom network called "Ethereum" isn't Ethereum: the real one is built in.
Custom tokens and networks are saved on your phone, so add them again after you reinstall FxWallet or restore your wallet on a new phone.
If FxWallet can't reach a network
FxWallet reads each network through a server called an RPC node. When the node doesn't answer, FxWallet shows "Network response error on … Please try again later or switch to a different RPC." Balances and history on that network may not load until it answers. Switching the node doesn't move your assets.
- Tap Switch RPC in the message, or go to Me → Network and tap the network.
- Tap RPC URL. The list shows how fast each node answers.
- Choose a faster node.
Add a node with Add Custom RPC URL only from the network's official documentation. The node's provider sees your addresses and the transactions you send, and a fake node can show you balances and transactions that aren't real.
Edit or remove a custom network
Go to Me → Network → Custom networks and tap the network. On Edit Network, you can change its name, symbol, block explorer and RPC URLs, but not its chain ID. To remove it, tap the trash icon at the top, then confirm. Removing a network doesn't affect your wallet or your assets on other networks.
