A **monitored token** is a token contract you register with Active Monitoring, optionally with associated contracts that enforcement actions can run on. This guide covers the two operations available for monitored tokens: register one, and view them. After you register a token, you [configure a monitoring rule](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/configure-monitoring-rules) for it.

## Prerequisites

- A [CRE Connect Wallet](/ace/getting-started/account-setup#4-set-up-cre-connect-wallets) on every network where the token runs. Only these networks are offered.
- The token address on each network, and the JSON ABI of the token. See [Prepare Your Token](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/prepare-your-token).
- If enforcement runs on a separate contract, its address on every network of the token and its ABI.
- To use the **API** tab, an ACE API key, sent in the `Authorization: Apikey <API_KEY>` header of each request. See [Create an API key](/ace/getting-started/account-setup#3-create-an-api-key).

## Register a monitored token

A monitored token has a **primary** contract, which is your token, and optionally one or more **associated** contracts. You select the **enforcement functions** of each contract: the functions that Active Monitoring may call when a rule enforces an action. In most cases the token itself has the functions you need, such as `freezePartialTokens`, so you register the primary contract alone. Add an associated contract only when an action must run on a different contract, for example a separate blocklist that your token does not call.

## Edit or remove a monitored token

You cannot edit or remove a monitored token after you register it. Check the addresses, networks, and ABI before you submit.

- [Configure Monitoring Rules](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/configure-monitoring-rules): choose what happens for each risk score.
- [Manage the Watchlist](/ace/active-monitoring/guides/manage-watchlist): add the addresses to screen.
