# Allowlist tokens

Allowlisting a token approves it for use in Ripple Custody. Allowlisted tokens are visible in the Assets Management screen and can be used in transfer orders.

## What happens when you allowlist a token

When you allowlist a token:

- The token moves from unclassified or denied tabs to the Asset Management screen
- Token balances become visible in account views
- You can create transfer orders using the token
- Historical transfers involving this token become visible


Allowlisting a token also makes any historical transfers involving that token visible in the UI.

## Allowlist one or more tokens

To allowlist one token:

1. Go to **Settings** and then **Asset Management**.
2. Click the **Unclassified** tab.
3. Find the token(s) you want to allowlist.
4. Click **Allow** at the end of the token row. You can select multiple tokens at this stage.

5. Click **Submit for Approval**.
6. On your mobile device, open the Ripple Custody Auth & Sign app and [sign the intent](/products/custody/identity-and-access/authentication/ui-authentication#sign-ui-operations).


Selecting multiple tokens for allowlisting creates a single intent containing all selected tokens, which requires only one signature.

## Confirmation dialog

Before submitting, the confirmation dialog shows:

- The number of tokens being allowlisted
- The intent details for review

## Review the intent payload

Before signing, you can expand the intent payload to review the JSON. The payload contains the token details and the action being performed `v0_ValidateTickers`.

Reviewing the intent payload ensures you are signing exactly what you expect. This is especially important for bulk operations involving multiple tokens.

## After allowlisting

The tokens are allowlisted when the intent is successfully executed. The tokens will now appear in the **Assets Management** screen.
