Normaal gesproken toont MetaMask op je accountpagina de standaard ERC-20-tokens (of standaardtokens) die je bezit. MetaMask houdt, door de toename van tokens op Ethereum en andere netwerken, echter geen uitputtende lijst bij, maar je kunt de ERC-20-conforme tokens die je bezit, wel toevoegen.

Er zijn twee verschillende manieren om niet-beursgenoteerde tokens toe te voegen aan je MetaMask-wallet.

Als eerste kun je een geavanceerde functie inschakelen waarmee automatisch tokens worden gedetecteerd die op jouw adres geregistreerd staan, en die deze dan aan je wallet toevoegt. Hierbij worden samengevoegde tokenlijsten vanuit verschillende community's gebruikt. MetaMask houdt geen eigen lijst bij van 'geaccepteerde' of 'geldige' tokens. Als je voor deze optie kiest, wees dan altijd voorzichtig met onbekende tokens:

1. Doe geen zaken met, of koppel je wallet niet aan websites die je niet kent, waar je geen onderzoek naar hebt gedaan, of waarvan je denkt dat ze mogelijk onbetrouwbaar zijn.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

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, and zkSync.

• Extension
• Mobile

If you're a new MetaMask user, token detection is enabled by default.

If you're an existing user, you might have to turn it on. To do so, click on the three vertical dots in the upper right-hand corner of the wallet view, navigate to 'Settings', and then 'Security & Privacy', and make sure the toggle is on.

Hit the hamburger icon in the top left of the home screen, and then find 'settings'. From here, go to 'Advanced', and 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.

Manually adding a token with search

• Extension
• Mobile

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 'Import token' at the bottom.

Clicking here will bring you to a search bar:

1. Type in words contained in the token you would like to search. For example, if I would like to look for Chainlink (Symbol: LINK), I just type in "LI” in the bar, and the search bar will return all the suggestions.
2. Select token of interest, and click Next to proceed. (As soon as you select a token, the button's border will be highlighted in blue)
3. Click Add token to proceed. You will be then redirected to your account page. The token you have just added will be listed.

1. On your wallet page, find the 'Import tokens' link at the bottom of the screen.
2. This will bring up the search bar. Type in the name of the token you want to add.
3. When you find the token, tap on it to select it and then scroll down so you see the 'Import' button.

The token will now be listed under your account's tokens.

How to hide tokens

Once added, you can remove the token from your asset list.

• Extension
• Mobile

On your wallet 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 remove it:

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 add a custom token (manually).

How to add a custom token

• Extension
• Mobile

1. Click on 'Import tokens', located at the bottom of the 'Tokens' tab on your wallet homepage.

2. Switch to the 'Custom token' tab at the top, and then enter the token address in the first field. See below if you don't know where to find this.

3. In most cases, the token symbol and token decimal will autofill. If they don't, head to the network's block explorer and find the token. Its symbol and decimals will most likely be displayed.

If you still can't find the token details, try locating the token's documentation through a web search.

4. Click 'Add Custom Token' to proceed.
5. You will now see a page asking you to confirm that you want to add the token. When you click 'Import Tokens', the token type will be added to your wallet.

1. Find the 'Import tokens' link from your wallet homepage. Tap it to bring up the menu for adding tokens.
2. Switch over to the 'Custom token' tab. Now you'll see three fields asking for the token's contract address, its symbol, and 'Token of Precision' (i.e. how many decimal places it can go down to).
3. Find the token address and paste it into the first field. The symbol and decimals should autofill. If they don't, head to the network's block explorer and search for the token. On its page, you can easily find its symbol and decimals.

4. Tap 'Import' to add it to your wallet. You'll be redirected back to your wallet homepage and be able to see it under the 'tokens' tab.

How to find the token address

Take a look at this article to see a couple of different ways to find your token address.

You could also ask the person who sends you the tokens for the token's contract address.

**Please be aware that 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

notitie

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. You can also go via the 'Tokens' link in the menu bar.
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 wallet.

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 wallet it automatically detects and displays the majority of tokens.

All you need to do is follow the link and connect your wallet. See our articles on how to use the dapp if you need more guidance.
