Enable a Token or Custom Token

What are "Tokens" on Gem Wallet?

Gem Wallet currently supports thousands of tokens that reside on supported blockchains. Here are some of the supported token standards:

• ERC20: The standard for creating and issuing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.

• BEP20: A token standard on the Binance Smart Chain that extends ERC20.

• SPL: The token standard used by the Solana blockchain for creating and managing tokens.

• TRC20: A technical standard used for smart contracts on the TRON blockchain for implementing tokens with the TRON Virtual Machine (TVM).

• Jettons: Tokens on TON Blockchain which can be considered similar to ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum.

• Sui Coins: Tokens that operate on the Sui blockchain, designed for high throughput and rapid processing.
