As outlined in this step-by-step guide, importing tokens is a straightforward procedure, primarily requiring the correct token contract address and the selection of the appropriate blockchain network.

Temple Wallet's evolution into a multichain wallet, seamlessly supporting both the Tezos ecosystem and various EVM-compatible blockchains (such as Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Etherlink, and more), makes token management more crucial than ever.
