All your Avalanche compatible tokens will be viewable in this network once you have imported the token information.&#x20;

1. Navigate to the bottom of the Avalanche Network page in MM and select **Import Token**.&#x20;
2. Enter the information for the token you wish to import (you can find this on blockchain explorers such as [SnowTrace](https://snowtrace.io/)).&#x20;
3. The token information will usually auto-fill. Always double-check the token contract address to make sure it is not a fake version.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
IMPORTANT: To use the Avalanche Network, you must purchase AVAX for transaction gas fees. **0.1 AVAX** is the advised minimum, but will be more than enough to get you started. See our guides to withdraw AVAX from [Gate.io](broken://pages/4kfTzc9ec0MZ9F459FiW), [Kucoin](broken://pages/-MiZerCp8LkMvt_wIC58) and [Coinbase](broken://pages/OKDnwYdHaqJGD4uvcaSK).&#x20;
