Adding ARIO Token to Wander

Wander (formerly ArConnect) is the primary wallet for the Arweave ecosystem and provides native support for AO tokens like ARIO. Follow this guide to add ARIO to your wallet and start viewing your token balance.

Prerequisites

Before adding ARIO to your Wander wallet, ensure you have:

Wander Wallet Installed: Download from wander.app for desktop or mobile
Wallet Setup Complete: Your wallet should be created and secured with a backup phrase
Active Internet Connection: Required for token import and balance queries

Step-by-Step Workflow

Open Wander Wallet

Launch your Wander wallet application:

Desktop: Open the Wander desktop application
Mobile: Tap the Wander app icon on your device

Navigate to the settings section of your wallet:

For Mobile Users:

Tap the 3 vertical dots (⋮) in the top right corner of the screen
Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu

For Desktop Users:

Click the hamburger menu icon (☰) in the bottom right corner
Navigate to the settings section

Navigate to Token Management

In the Settings menu, select "Tokens"
This opens the token management interface where you can view and add tokens

Import New Token

Click the "Import Token" button
You'll see a form for adding new token details

Configure Token Type (Desktop Only)

For Desktop Users:

Ensure the "Asset/Collectible" dropdown is set to "Asset"
This tells Wander that you're adding a fungible token, not an NFT

Enter ARIO Token Details

In the Process ID field, enter the ARIO token process ID:
```

Verify that the auto-populated information is correct

Click "Add Token" to complete the import process
Wander will add ARIO to your token list and begin querying your balance
