You can use Atomic Wallet for any token based on the Ethereum blockchain. Some are listed in the app by default, but you're free to add any custom tokens you want. Before proceeding, please make sure you're using the latest version of our app, which can be found here.

Important: As of now, we don't offer support for custom BEP-2 tokens or any other token standards. These instructions will only work for ERC-20 tokens, so please avoid trying to use them for any other protocols.

    If your token is a ERC-20 one, it'll promptly pop up in the search suggestions. In this case, just select it from the results for now and keep reading this guide.
