How to Add Custom Tokens to MetaMask and Other Web3 Wallets

·

When you bridge tokens to a new blockchain, they may not appear in your wallet automatically. In such cases, you’ll need to manually add the custom token to your Web3 wallet to view and manage it easily.

This guide will walk you through the process of adding custom tokens to three of the most popular Web3 wallets: MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Rabby Wallet. Whether you’re dealing with wrapped assets, newly minted tokens, or just want better visibility, follow these steps to ensure your tokens are displayed and accessible.

FAQs

Why don’t bridged tokens appear automatically?

Bridged tokens often use new contract addresses. Wallets require manual entry to track them.

Where can I find a token’s contract address?

Check the blockchain’s explorer (e.g., Etherscan) or the project’s official documentation.

Can I add tokens to multiple wallets simultaneously?

No, you must add them individually to each wallet.

Pro Tip: Always double-check contract addresses to avoid scams. For seamless cross-chain token management, 👉 try ChainPort’s bridging solution.
