# Tokens and balances

WalletChan combines portfolio-provider data with configured RPC checks and
local token metadata.

## Add a custom token

1. Open portfolio options and choose **Add custom token**.
2. Select the network.
3. Paste the ERC-20 contract address.
4. Review the resolved name, symbol, decimals, and explorer link.
5. Save.

If the token already exists or is merely hidden, WalletChan directs you to the
existing entry instead of creating a duplicate.

Custom metadata is a display aid. An incorrect symbol or decimals value does
not change the contract, so verify the contract address.

## Dapp token requests

A dapp can call EIP-747 `wallet_watchAsset`. WalletChan shows an explicit
request with the site, token, address, symbol, decimals, and image information
before adding it. Rejecting the request does not reject an unrelated
transaction.

## Edit or remove a custom token

Open the token's management view to change local display metadata. Chain and
contract address remain fixed. Removing a custom entry removes the local
metadata; it does not transfer or burn the token.

## Hide tokens

Choose one or many tokens from **Hide tokens**. Hidden assets are removed from
the main portfolio view globally but remain onchain. Open **Currently Hidden**
to restore one or all.

## Low-value and recently received assets

Small balances are collapsed under **Low-value assets**. Recently received
tokens can appear before an external portfolio index catches up because
WalletChan enriches confirmed receipts locally.

## Missing price or logo

A missing price does not imply a zero balance. WalletChan may use a
GeckoTerminal onchain-liquidity fallback when CoinGecko lacks coverage. Logos
and NFT images are fetched through bounded raster safety checks; unsafe or
unavailable images fall back to a generated token mark.
