To view BEP-20 tokens in Atomic Wallet, you need to follow a series of straightforward steps. Atomic Wallet supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including BEP-20 tokens which are tokens based on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Let's dive into the detailed process of adding and viewing these tokens within your wallet.

Understanding BEP-20 Tokens

BEP-20 tokens are a type of token standard on the Binance Smart Chain. Similar to ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum, BEP-20 tokens follow a set of rules and standards that ensure their compatibility and interoperability across different applications and wallets. This standard allows developers to create new tokens that can be used in various decentralized applications (dApps) on the BSC.

Adding BNB to Your Atomic Wallet

Before you can view BEP-20 tokens, you need to have BNB (Binance Coin) in your Atomic Wallet. BNB serves as the native currency of the Binance Smart Chain and is required to cover transaction fees when interacting with BEP-20 tokens.

• Open the Atomic Wallet application on your device.
• Click on the "Add Coin" button.
• Search for "BNB" and select it.
• Follow the prompts to add BNB to your wallet.

Adding BEP-20 Tokens to Atomic Wallet

Once you have BNB in your wallet, you can proceed to add BEP-20 tokens. Here's how you can do it:

• Navigate to the main screen of your Atomic Wallet.
• Click on the "Add Coin" button.
• In the search bar, type the name or contract address of the BEP-20 token you want to add.
• Select the token from the list. If the token is not listed, you can manually add it by clicking on "Add Custom Token."
• If adding a custom token, you will need to enter the token's contract address, name, and symbol. You can find these details on the token's official website or blockchain explorer.
• After entering the required information, click on "Add Custom Token" to add it to your wallet.

• Click on a token to view more details such as the balance, transaction history, and other relevant information.

Managing BEP-20 Tokens in Atomic Wallet

Once you have added and viewed your BEP-20 tokens, you can manage them within Atomic Wallet. Here are some of the actions you can perform:

• Sending BEP-20 Tokens: Click on the token you want to send, then click on "Send." Enter the recipient's address, the amount you want to send, and any additional details. Confirm the transaction and pay the required BNB fee.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes, you might encounter issues when trying to view BEP-20 tokens in Atomic Wallet. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

• Token Not Appearing: If the token you added does not appear in your wallet, ensure that you entered the correct contract address and that the token is compatible with BEP-20. You can also try restarting the app or reinstalling it.
• Transaction Fees: If you are unable to send tokens due to insufficient BNB for transaction fees, you will need to add more BNB to your wallet.
• Network Issues: Ensure that your device has a stable internet connection. Network issues can prevent tokens from being displayed or transactions from being processed.
