STEP 4- Check Claimed Free Metis Token In Metamask

iii. Click Don't See Your Token? "Import Tokens"
iv. Fill the details as follow and metamask will auto fill the rest if the address is currect (but all here incase it does not, then fill them all manually yourself)
Token Contract Address: 0xe552fb52a4f19e44ef5a967632dbc320b0820639
Token Symbol: METIS
Token Decimal: 18
v. Click "Add Custom Token"
vi. Click "Import Tokens"
v. That is it, you will see that you now have the amount of Metis claimed from the faucet is now visible under Assets
As at when this was writen, the faucet would credit your account with "2 Metis"
(but things would reduce as Metis gain more exposure - so, if you get less than that, you are still good to go)
