Open Metamask on your browser.
Select Import tokens.
Enter the information for the token you wish to import (you can find this easily on snowtrace.io)
The token information will usually auto-fill.

Always double-check the token contract address to ensure it is not a fake version.
Your Avalanche-compatible token is now viewable in Metamask via the Avalanche network. You may repeat this process for other tokens if you wish.
