# Connecting an Existing Token to Your Community

#### 💡 What Does Connecting a Token Do?

Connecting your ERC-20 token:

* **Displays live token info** (name, symbol, price) in your community header
* **Enables native Uniswap v4 swaps** so members can easily buy the token without leaving the page
* **Unlocks token-gated features**, creating an incentive loop: users can instantly swap in to access gated topics, proposals, or actions

#### 🛠 How to Connect a Token

1. **Go to your community's Admin Panel**\
   Navigate to: `Admin > Integrations > Token`
2. **Click “Connect Token”**\
   You’ll see a message like: “No token connected.”\
   Click the **Connect token** button.
3. **Enter Your Token Address**
   * Paste your ERC-20 token contract address
   * Common will fetch metadata (name, symbol, decimals)
4. **Confirm**\
   Once connected, the token will:
   * Appear in your community header
   * Power Uniswap v4 swaps in your community
   * Unlock token-gated features
