Add a token

One of the first things you'll likely want to do as a Freighter user is add a token to your wallet. Once you do so, you will be able to send payments, swap tokens, or perhaps deposit into defi protocols like Blend.

To add a token, first open Freighter and navigate to the home page.

Select the icon in the upper right corner of the balances section and select "Add a token".

Enter the token name or address. Freighter uses stellar.expert for token search capabilities, and filters results against lists curated by trusted members of the ecosystem such as Palta Labs or UltraStellar. Results that match an entry in these lists are displayed as "Verified" while those that don't are displayed as "Unverified".

When you select "Add" from the search results, you'll be provided more information on the token and asked to approve. As an additional security measure, tokens are scanned by Blockaid and can be flagged as suspicious or malicious.

Selecting "Approve" will add the token to your lists of balances.
