How to add a Custom token on MEW Portfolio

Any ERC20 token can be added to your MEW Portfolio dashboard.

Step 1. Head to a block explorer like Etherscan and search for your wallet address.

Step 2. Look for the token you want to add in the dropdown where your tokens are listed.

Step 3. Click on the token and you'll be taken to the token information page.

Step 4. Here, you will find the token’s contract address. Copy this address and head back to MEW.

Step 5. Scroll down then click on the 'Custom' tab in the 'Your Balances' section and select '+Add Custom Token'. If you have added custom tokens previously, you can select Edit Token to edit the information of your custom tokens.

Step 6. Paste the contract address into the contract address field so MEW can scan the address.

Step 7. If the details are correct, go ahead and click 'Add Token' to finalize the process.

Step 8. Congratulations! You have successfully added that token as a custom token and it should appear in your 'Tokens value' list. To change custom token information, click on the three vertical dots and select 'Edit Token'.

If you see this error, then your token is likely already a default token. Check your token list again to see if it appears there.

If you see this error, chances are that the contract address has been entered incorrectly. We recommend double-checking the contract address for the token on Etherscan to make sure the address being entered is correct.

MEW is a client-side wallet and doesn't store your information on any servers. Your custom token details are only stored locally with your browser. Clearing your cache (or having a cache-clearing software installed) will remove the custom tokens from your dashboard and you'll have to re-add them.
