A Complete Guide on Adding Union Transfer Tokens to Leap Wallets
With goose steps, add tokens from Union transfers to your Leap Wallet in minutes. With our guide, cross-chain assets will display properly.
Did you recently conduct an asset transfer using Union across networks and now see that it has not been loaded into your Leap Wallet?
In scenarios where tokens are moved from one network to another through Union's cross-chain protocol, there are times when it is necessary for the wallet to put in some extra work in order to recognize these tokens in their new surroundings. In this case, this simple guide will help you restore visiblity of your transferred tokens.
What is Union?
Union is a protocol that allows smooth movement of assets across different blockchains. It is especially helpful in the transfer of assets from EVM chains (like Ethereum) to Cosmos-based chains (like Babylon).
With over 200 chains supported natively, Union can be seamlessly leveraged with Leap Wallet which functions as a multi-chain wallet. However, after a transfer is completed, Union users may need to manually add the token to their wallets in order to view their balance.
Procedure for Adding Union Tokens to Leap Wallet
Method 1: Adding Union Tokens via Union Directly
Make the transfer on btc.union.build.
After your transfer is completed, check for the “ADD TO WALLET” notification.
Click the wallet add option.
A window should appear with all the relevant fields filled.
Click "Confirm" to complete the addition to your wallet.
Method 2: Adding Union Tokens Via Leap Wallet Manually
These addition steps need to be taken if manual addition is needed:
Access your Leap Wallet browser extension.
Choose the target chain. For instance, “Babylon Genesis”
Click the settings icon on top of the token list.
Click the Plus (“+”) button
Fill in the “Coin minimum denom” field with the token denom.
To get this denom, you need to access your transfer on btc.union.build, and copy the token denom from the asset pop-up.
If Leap does not auto complete the token, take the information from the btc.union.build pop-up window.
Click Add Token.
Locating Transfer Information
If details of the transfer cannot be found, you can access your packet by using the transaction hash link, btc.union.build/explorer/find-packet.
Common Token Transfers on Union
Union allows for a range of token transfers within and between networks, such as:
BTC related assets transers between EVM chains and Babylon.
Stablecoins transfers between disparate blockchain ecosystems.
Dual coins transfers cross-natives of compatible networks.
As a multi-chain wallet, Leap enables access to all of these assets assuming they are properly added to your wallet.

FAQs
Why my transferred tokens do not directly display on my wallet?
Each blockchain has its own method of putting names and codes to tokens. When tokens traverse blocks, your wallet needs a particular level of information to be able to acknowledge those tokens in their new places.
Will I need to add tokens every time I make a transfer?
You only have to add a specific token denomination once, and since the token type will be recognized by your wallet for subsequent transfers, no further additions are necessary.
Is there a limit to how many custom tokens I can add to Leap Wallet?
No, there is no limit on the number of custom tokens that can be added to a Leap Wallet.
What if I can’t find my transfer information?
You may retrieve your packet using the transaction hash of the transfer on this link btc.union.build/explorer/find-packet .
Does Leap Wallet support all chains compatible with Union?
Yes, Leap Wallet supports 200+ chains natively – encompassing all major Union transfer compatible networks and many others that can be accessed permissionlessly.
As always, there is no limit to what you can achieve with Leap Wallet. It is built to facilitate easy cross-chain interactions from multiple verticals. Union transfer token addition is merely one of the ways to ensure users have seamless access to assets in the multi-chain ecosystem.
