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;
4. Select **Add Custom Token** to save.&#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;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hoppersgame.io/guides-general/setup-metamask.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
