If you can't see your tokens in MetaMask, it can be due to several reasons. This guide will help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue effectively.

Common Reasons for Missing Tokens

1. Incorrect Network

Tokens may not appear if you are connected to the wrong network. Ensure you are on the correct blockchain network where your tokens are issued.

• Check Network: Open MetaMask and verify the selected network in the dropdown menu.

2. Token Not Added

If the token is not added to your MetaMask wallet, it will not show up in your balance:

• Add Token: Click on "Assets" in MetaMask, then "Import Tokens" and enter the token contract address.

3. Token Contract Address Error

Ensure that you are using the correct token contract address. An incorrect address will prevent the token from being displayed:

• Verify Address: Check the token's official website or a trusted source for the correct contract address.

4. Outdated MetaMask Version

Using an outdated version of MetaMask can lead to display issues:

• Update MetaMask: Check for updates in your browser's extension settings and install the latest version.

5. Browser Cache Issues

Cached data can sometimes cause display problems:

• Clear Cache: Go to your browser settings and clear the cache and cookies.

Steps to Resolve Token Visibility Issues

1. Verify Token Balances

Before making changes, confirm your token balances on a block explorer:

const walletAddress = 'YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS';
const tokenContractAddress = 'TOKEN_CONTRACT_ADDRESS';
const etherscanUrl = `https://etherscan.io/address/${walletAddress}`;

console.log(`Check your balance on Etherscan: ${etherscanUrl}`);

2. Add Missing Tokens

If you have the correct token contract address, you can manually add the token:

async function addToken() {
    const tokenAddress = 'TOKEN_CONTRACT_ADDRESS';
    const tokenSymbol = 'TOKEN_SYMBOL';
    const tokenDecimals = 18; // Adjust based on the token

    try {
        await window.ethereum.request({
            method: 'wallet_watchAsset',
            params: {
                type: 'ERC20',
                options: {
                    address: tokenAddress,
                    symbol: tokenSymbol,
                    decimals: tokenDecimals,
                },
            },
        });
        console.log('Token added successfully');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Failed to add token:', error);
    }
}

3. Reinstall MetaMask

If the issue persists, consider reinstalling MetaMask:

• Backup Your Recovery Phrase: Ensure you have your recovery phrase saved securely.
• Uninstall MetaMask: Remove the extension from your browser.
• Reinstall MetaMask: Download the latest version from the official website.
• Restore Your Wallet: Use your recovery phrase to restore your wallet.
