Manage Token Assets

In this guide, Web3 app users can learn how to manage token assets through the Arcana wallet UI.

Prerequisites

  • To use the Arcana wallet, users must log in to a Web3 app that is integrated with the Arcana Auth SDK.

  • Depending on the type of blockchain signing experience set up by the app developer, the Arcana wallet may appear only when a blockchain transaction is triggered, or it may be visible at all times once the user logs in.

Token Operations

Arcana wallet supports the following Web3 token operations for both native as well as custom ERC-20 tokens:

  • Check the native token balance in the account
  • Add custom tokens
  • Send and receive native and custom tokens
  • Monitor token asset transaction activities

Check Balance

Click the 'Tokens' tab at the bottom left of the Arcana wallet UI. The account balance is displayed for the native tokens of the current active blockchain network. It also shows a list of custom token assets associated with the wallet account for the active blockchain network and their amounts.

Click Refresh to fetch the latest account balance. If you use the Arcana wallet UI to send native or custom tokens, the account balance gets automatically updated once the transfer is processed.

Add Custom Tokens

Click the 'Tokens' tab to view the list of tokens associated with the wallet account.

If you do not see your custom token already listed in the token asset list, click the icon to add your custom token.

Add the Token Contract Address in the pop-up UI.

Once you add the address, the Arcana wallet validates whether it is an ERC-20 standard custom token. After the contract is verified, the wallet automatically fetches the Token Symbol and the Token Decimal values as configured in the custom contract.

Click Save to add the custom token. The newly added custom token will show up under the account balance section on the wallet.
