Tokens weergeven in MetaMask

informatie

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).

Enhanced token detection

Only available on certain networks!

Enhanced token detection is available on Ethereum Mainnet, Linea, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, and Solana.

If you're a new MetaMask user, token detection is enabled by default. If you're an older user, you might have to turn it on:

• Extensie
• Mobiel

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.

Once you've enabled token detection, go back to your asset list, and refresh if necessary — hopefully, any tokens you weren't seeing before are there now.

Note that token detection takes place on Ethereum mainnet regardless of whether this setting is on or off; enhanced token detection just expands this function to cover the additional networks listed above.

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.
• Trek een token die je via airdrop hebt ontvangen of niet kent, altijd in twijfel en doe grondig onderzoek voordat je ermee aan de slag gaat. Meer informatie over beste praktijken voor tokenveiligheid vind je hier.
• Als je probeert te handelen met de token en je transactie mislukt, waarbij de block explorer een door de scammer geschreven foutmelding geeft die je naar een website leidt, is dit waarschijnlijk een phishing-site; klik dus NIET op die link.
• Blijf op de hoogte van manieren waarop oplichters proberen je middelen te stelen. Besef dat er geen garantie is dat wat je online leest betrouwbare informatie is.

Adding a token with search

opmerking

Adding a token with search only works on EVM-networks.

• Extensie
• Mobiel

To see your tokens, click on the Tokens tab. Your tokens should be listed under this tab. If they're not, and automatic token detection isn't picking them up, then click on the 3 dots and 'Import tokens'.

Door hierop te klikken, wordt een zoekbalk geopend:

1. Type in words contained in the token you would like to search. For example, if you would like to look for DAI:

2. Select token of interest, and click Next to proceed.

3. Click Import to proceed. You will then be redirected to your account page. De token die je zojuist hebt toegevoegd, staat nu in de lijst.

1. On the 'Tokens' tab of your account page, find the '+' button on the right side of the page, next to the networks selector.

2. This will bring up the search bar. Typ de naam van de token die je wilt toevoegen.
3. 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

opmerking

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.

waarschuwing

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.

Tokens toevoegen via een block explorer

Note

In addition to Etherscan, this will work with most major block explorers, including BscScan, Polygonscan, Snowtrace, etc., as they generally share a similar design.

1. Go to the block explorer.
2. Search for your token. Je kunt dit ook doen via de link 'Tokens' in de menubalk.
3. Click the 'More' button in the top right of the token's profile summary.
4. Click 'Add token to MetaMask (Web3)'

5. 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.

Note

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

Als je tokens hebt toegevoegd, kun je ze uit je lijst met activa verwijderen.

• Extensie
• Mobiel

On your account page, find the 'Tokens' tab and click on the token you want to remove.

Klik hier op de drie stippen in de rechterbovenhoek, en vervolgens op 'Verbergen'.

For both iOS and Android, long press on the token. This will bring up the option to hide it:
