If you’re looking to stake SPA tokens on the Spartacus platform, you may want to add this token to your Metamask wallet to track the amount of SPA that you have.
However, you will need to import SPA as a custom token on the Fantom network.
Here’s what you need to know.
How to add SPA to Metamask
Here are 4 steps to add SPA to Metamask on the Fantom Network:
- Go to Metamask and ensure that you are using the Fantom Network
- Select ‘Import Tokens’, and then ‘Import Custom Token’
- Copy the Fantom contract from CoinMarketCap
- Double check that SPA is detected and select ‘Add Custom Token’
And here is each step explained:
Go to Metamask and ensure that you are using the Fantom Network
The first thing you’ll need to do is to ensure that you are using the Fantom Network on Metamask.
If you have not set up the Fantom Network on your Metamask wallet, you can check out this step-by-step guide here.
Select ‘Import Tokens’, and then ‘Import Custom Token’
Once you’re on the Fantom Network, the next step will be to select ‘Import Tokens‘.
On the Fantom network, you are only able to import custom tokens.
Copy the Fantom contract from CoinMarketCap
For the next part, you can go to the SPA page on CoinMarketCap.
There is a section called ‘Contracts‘, where you’ll see the Fantom contract for SPA.
You can click on the contract and it will be copied to your clipboard.
Double check that SPA is detected and select ‘Add Custom Token’
Once you’ve copied the Contract Address, you can paste it in the ‘Token Contract Address‘ field in Metamask.
If you pasted the correct contract address, SPA should automatically appear as the Token Symbol.
After selecting ‘Add Custom Token‘, you will need to confirm importing SPA one more time.
Once you’ve successfully imported SPA to your Metamask wallet, you should see it as one of your assets under the Fantom Network.
This process is similar to how you would add HEC to your Metamask wallet.
Conclusion
SPA is a native token of the Fantom network, hence you can deposit SPA to your Metamask wallet via this network.
However, you can’t import SPA directly using Metamask’s import token feature.
Instead, you will need to copy the SPA contract address from a trusted source like CoinMarketCap, and then paste it under the ‘Import Custom Token’ field on Metamask.
