Import an existing token

1.  ## Enter the token address
    
    Paste the existing contract into **Token Address**. Proxima loads the network and available token metadata.
    
2.  ## Import the token
    
    Select **Import Token**. Proxima creates a launch workspace for the existing token and opens its Launch Settings page.
    

## What importing a token does

Importing does not deploy a token or start buys. Imported-token plans use scheduled execution.

Configure your buys in [Launch Settings](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/launch-settings/), then complete [Funding](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/funding/).

Review the confirmation, then select **Snipe** to start buying.
