How to add a Custom token on MEW Portfolio

Any ERC20 token can be added to your MEW Portfolio dashboard, even if you are not seeing it by default.

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 to MEW at https://www.myetherwallet.com/.

Step 5. Access your wallet, and go to your Portfolio page. Scroll down then click on the 'Custom' tab in the 'Your Balances' section and select '+Add' next to the search bar. If you have added custom tokens previously, you can select pencil icon 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. The custom token should now appear in your custom token balances. To change custom token information, click on the pencil icon.

If you see this error, then your token is likely already a default token or you had added it previously. Check your wallet 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.
