As a crypto enthusiast, I'm wondering about the process of automatically adding tokens to MetaMask. Could you walk me through the steps? I've heard about importing tokens via contract addresses, but I'm not sure how to do it securely. Is there a risk of adding malicious tokens? How can I verify the authenticity of the contract address? Additionally, are there any specific requirements or limitations for tokens to be added to MetaMask? I'd appreciate any guidance or best practices you could share on this topic.

Return to your MetaMask wallet and locate the option to add a new token. This is typically found under the list of currently held tokens in your wallet.

Select the "Add Token" option and paste the contract address you copied from Etherscan. MetaMask will automatically fetch the token's information, including its symbol and the number of decimal places for its value.

Once the token information is fetched, you will be prompted to confirm the addition. After confirmation, the custom token will be added to your MetaMask wallet, and you will be able to view its balance and perform transactions with it.
