Import tokens on NNS

This is a basic feature. When will this be posible?

I think this is related thread (though not sure if it’s still working as described):

UPCOMING: Proposals to allow Custom ICRC token Import in the NNS

Old thread deleted, recreating this for discussion purposes: Previous points: @chepreghy shared the following methodology for using an experimental feature to do this: “1. Open the console by right clicking on the page, inspect element, and selecting the console tab Paste this into the console on the bottom __experimentalAddIcrc1Token(ledgerCanisterId, indexCanisterId); and add the cansiter ids in quotes (index canister is optional to see TX history). You might be prompted to explicitly wri…

Transferring custom ICRC-1 tokens out of the NNS dapp

[gatsby_esp]

It works but is not useful… As it forgets the tokens after you log out.
I want to use the NNS as custody for all of my tokens come ON DFINITY!!

basic feature

I wouldn’t describe it as a ‘basic feature’ because the NNS dapp is a critical component of the ecosystem. This means there’s no room for errors, and a high level of security is required. As a result, certain features might seem “basic” at first glance, but in reality, they are more complex than they appear.

That being said, I’m no longer contributing to the NNS dapp as I’ve moved to a different team, though I still follow its progress from a distance, so based on the commit history, I’ve got the feeling that the team is actively working on it. See for example those merged commits with the keywords “token”: https://github.com/dfinity/nns-dapp/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+token

Furthermore, the design for enabling users to import any ICRC-1 token into their NNS dapp account was proposed in this post by @chepreghy. Perhaps he can share more about the current status when he’s back at work on Monday.

Feature Proposal — Importing Tokens to the NNS Dapp

Proposing an implementation design for one of the most widely requested NNS dapp features by the ICP community — allowing users to import any ICRC-1 token in their NNS dapp account. Background Today, there is no simple way for NNS dapp users to import and manage ICRC-1 tokens in their NNS dapp wallet that are not part of the SNS or ckToken family. While the main purpose of the NNS dapp is to provide a simple UI to interact with governance on ICP, we understand that people would like to store to…

Hey @gatsby_esp, we have been working on the import tokens feature as @peterparker mentioned. We are getting very close to be able to propose the full release of the feature — you don’t have to wait much longer.
