Cómo mostrar los tokens en MetaMask
MetaMask automatically displays popular ERC-20 standard tokens (Ethereum-based standard tokens) and SPL-standard tokens (Solana-based standard tokens) you own on your account page.
However, with the proliferation of tokens on Ethereum and other networks, MetaMask doesn't maintain an authoritative list of tokens — you can add any ERC-20-compliant token you hold if you don't see it in your account balance.
There are two different ways to add unlisted tokens to your MetaMask:
- Enhanced token detection feature (enabled by default for new users on EVM-networks and Solana).
- Manually adding a token with search or address (only available on EVM-networks currently).
¡Detección mejorada de tokens
Enhanced token detection is available on Ethereum Mainnet, Linea, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, and Solana.
Si eres un usuario nuevo de MetaMask, la detección de tokens está habilitada de forma predeterminada. If you're an older user, you might have to turn it on:
- Extensión
- Móvil
Click on the menu in the upper right-hand corner of the wallet view, navigate to 'Settings', and then 'Security & Privacy'.
Make sure the 'Autodetect tokens' toggle is on.
Tap the menu icon in the top-right corner and tap 'Advanced'.
Scroll until you find the token detection toggle.
Una vez que hayas habilitado la detección de tokens, vuelve a tu lista de activos y actualízala si es necesario. Con suerte, todos los tokens que no veías antes estarán ahí ahora.
Ten en cuenta que la detección de tokens se lleva a cabo en la red principal de Ethereum independientemente de si esta configuración está activada o desactivada; la detección de tokens mejorada simplemente amplía esta función para cubrir las redes adicionales enumeradas anteriormente.
How it works
Enhanced token detection uses lists of tokens aggregated from various community token lists; MetaMask doesn't keep a proprietary list of 'accepted' or 'valid' tokens. Keep in mind that you should always exercise caution surrounding unfamiliar tokens:
- Don't interact with or connect your MetaMask to any website that you're not familiar with, you haven't researched and have no reason to believe to be trustworthy.
- Siempre debe tener cuidado con los tokens desconocidos y verificarlos antes de interactuar con ellos. Más información sobre las prácticas recomendadas para la seguridad de los tokens aquí.
- Si al intentar realizar una transacción con el token, esta falla y la cadena de bloques muestra un error escrito por el estafador que lo redirige a un sitio web, es probable que se trate de un sitio de phishing, por lo que se recomienda NO hacer clic en este enlace.
- Infórmate sobre los métodos que utilizan los estafadores para robarte los fondos. Entienda que no siempre hay garantías adecuadas para asegurar que la información que se encuentra en la web sea digna de fiar.
Adding a token with search
Adding a token with search only works on EVM-networks.
- Extensión
- Mobile
Para ver tus tokens, haz clic en la pestaña Tokens. Tus tokens deberían aparecer en esta pestaña. If they're not, and automatic token detection isn't picking them up, then click on the 3 dots and 'Import tokens'.
Al hacer clic aquí accederás a una barra de búsqueda:
- Escribe las palabras contenidas en el token que deseas buscar. For example, if you would like to look for DAI:
- Select token of interest, and click Next to proceed.
- Click Import to proceed. You will then be redirected to your account page. The token you have just added will be listed.
- On the 'Tokens' tab of your account page, find the '+' button on the right side of the page, next to the networks selector.
- This will bring up the search bar. Type in the name of the token you want to add.
- When you find the token, tap on it to select it. You can also select any other tokens you'd like to add. Click 'Next' to proceed.
The token will now be listed under your account's tokens.
If the token you search for is not among the most popular tokens, the search bar may not return the token you queried. In this case, you could manually add it with its token address. See steps below.
Adding a token with address
Adding a token with address only works on EVM-networks.
From the main page of Extension or Mobile, under the 'Tokens' tab, click the plus button.
From there, you can search for your token by name, or add a custom token with the token address.
To add a custom token, select the 'Custom token' tab:
From there, click 'Select network', and then choose the network the token is on. Then, copy the token's address into 'Enter token contract address'. If you do not know the token's contract address, read more below. Once you have the token's address, click 'Next', and then 'Import'.
How to find the token address
Take a look at this article to see a couple of different ways to find your token address.
If someone told you they have sent you tokens, but they are unable to provide you:
- the token address, or
- the transaction hash (a unique transaction ID),
it's possible that they haven't in fact done so.
How to add a token using a block explorer
In addition to Etherscan, this will work with most major block explorers, including BscScan, Polygonscan, Snowtrace, etc., as they generally share a similar design.
- Go to the block explorer.
- Search for your token. You can also go via the 'Tokens' link in the menu bar.
- Click the 'More' button in the top right of the token's profile summary.
- Click 'Add token to MetaMask (Web3)'
- MetaMask will pop up for you to confirm that you want to add the token.
How to add a token using a coin listing site
Sites such as Coingecko or CoinMarketCap offer MetaMask integration that allows you to add a token to MetaMask directly from its entry on their site.
To access this, simply head to one of these sites and find the token you want to add by using the search bar. Then find the contract address and click the MetaMask fox. A prompt will appear to confirm that you want to add the token to your account.
On MetaMask Mobile, make sure you access the site using the in-app browser, rather than your device's standard browser. This is the only way to access web links that integrate with MetaMask as you can do on your desktop browser using Extension.
This method also allows you to add the token on different networks, depending on whether a corresponding smart contract has been deployed on that network by the token owners. Click the three dots next to the contract address to select a different network, and then click the fox to add the token on that network.
Using MetaMask Portfolio
MetaMask Portfolio is a MetaMask-associated platform that aggregates and displays your token balances. Usefully, once you connect your MetaMask it automatically detects and displays the majority of tokens.
All you need to do is follow the link and connect your MetaMask. See our articles on how to use the dapp if you need more guidance.
How to hide tokens
Once added, you can remove the token from your asset list.
- Extension
- Mobile
On your account page, find the 'Tokens' tab and click on the token you want to remove.
From here, click the three dots in the top right corner, and then 'Hide'.
For both iOS and Android, long press on the token. This will bring up the option to hide it:
