The good news is that Where's my crypto? is a pretty common question, and it's usually just a **display thing, a network mix-up, or a syncing hiccup**—not that your money's gone for good. Trust Wallet is like a window to your crypto; it shows you what's on the blockchain. If that window gets a little foggy, things might not appear right away. ### **What You Might See in Trust Wallet** * It says completed, but your balance is still the same. * You can see your crypto on a blockchain explorer, but not in your wallet. * The wallet address is right, but your funds seem AWOL. Most of the time, these things just mean something needs a little tweak. ### **Why This Happens All the Time** There are tons of blockchains, token types, and networks. So, it's easy to: * Pick the wrong network * Have tokens tucked away out of sight * Have things take a little longer to sync up --- ## **Top Reasons Why Your Crypto Isn't Showing Up** ### **Still Waiting for Confirmation** If the blockchain is still thinking about the transaction, Trust Wallet won't show the balance just yet. ### **Oops! Wrong Network** Sending crypto on one network but looking on a different one? Yeah, that's super common. ### **Token Turned Off or Hidden** Trust Wallet doesn't show every single token automatically. ### **Need to Add a Custom Token?** For newer or less common tokens, you might have to add them yourself. ### **App Acting Wonky?** Sometimes, the app has a temporary glitch or the cache is old, which can stop your balances from updating. --- ## **How Trust Wallet Sees Your Transfers and Balances** ### **Blockchain Confirmations—Simple Version** When you send crypto: 1. It's announced to the world. 2. People check it out to make sure it's legit. 3. Wallets show you the confirmed info. Until it's all confirmed, your balances might be a little behind. ### **Relax, Your Crypto is Usually Safe** Even if Trust Wallet isn't showing anything: * The blockchain keeps track of the transfer. * Your wallet address still owns the funds. * Only you can get to it with your private keys. That's why you need to take your time and double-check things. --- ## **Crypto MIA? Here's What to Do** Try these steps one by one. Most people get things sorted out pretty quickly. ### **Step 1: Check the Blockchain Explorer** 1. Copy the transaction ID (TXID). 2. Paste it into the right blockchain explorer. 3. Make sure it says **Success**. If it's confirmed, your crypto is on the chain already. ### **Step 2: Turn On the Right Network** 1. Fire up Trust Wallet. 2. Hit the filter icon (top right). 3. Find the network you used (like Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain). 4. Flip the switch to ON. If the network is off, you won't see your funds. ### **Step 3: Show Hidden Tokens** * Find the token in the filter list. * Switch it to ON. A lot of tokens are hidden when you get them. ### **Step 4: Add the Token Yourself** If you don't see the token: 1. Tap **Add Custom Token**. 2. Pick the right network. 3. Paste in the official contract address. 4. Double-check the details. Always get your token info from a reliable place, like **[https://trustwallet.com/](https://trustwallet.com/)**. ### **Step 5: Give It a Refresh** * Close Trust Wallet completely. * Open it up again. * Pull down on the screen to refresh. * Wait a minute or two. ### **Step 6: Clear Cache or Restart** On Android: * Go to Settings → Apps → Trust Wallet * Tap Storage → Clear Cache On iPhone: * Restart your phone ⚠️ Heads up: Don't clear app data unless you have your recovery phrase! --- ## **Uh Oh, Network Mix-Up?** ### **ERC-20, BEP-20, TRC-20—Huh?** A lot of tokens can live on different networks: * ERC-20 (Ethereum) * BEP-20 (BNB Smart Chain) * TRC-20 (Tron) Looking on the wrong network will definitely make your crypto seem like it vanished. ### **How to Find Out Which Network You Used** Check: * The confirmation from the exchange * The blockchain explorer you used * The token's contract address Once you know, turn on that network in Trust Wallet. --- ## **Bring Your Crypto Back with Your Recovery Phrase** ### **When to Re-import Your Wallet** If nothing else works: 1. Uninstall Trust Wallet. 2. Reinstall it from the app store. 3. Pick I already have a wallet. 4. Type in your 12-word recovery phrase. This forces everything to sync up again. ### **Keep Your Recovery Phrase Safe!** * Never tell anyone your phrase. * Never type it on a website. * Trust Wallet support will NEVER ask for it. Your recovery phrase is the only way to get back in. --- ## **Known Issues with Trust Wallet** ### **Network Overload** Busy blockchains can take longer to confirm things. ### **Sync Problems After Updates** Trust Wallet might need a little extra time to catch up after it updates. --- ## **Keep Your Crypto Safe and Sound** ### **Before You Send** * Double-check the wallet address * Make sure you're on the right network * Send a small test amount first ### **Backup and Security Tips** * Keep your recovery phrase offline * Save those custom token addresses * Turn on app lock and biometrics --- ## **FAQs** **1. Is my crypto gone if it doesn’t show up?** Nope. It's almost always just a display or network thing. **2. Why does it say success but I don't see a balance?** The token might be hidden or on the wrong network. **3. How long should I wait?** Usually just a few minutes, but sometimes longer if things are busy. **4. Can Trust Wallet support get my crypto back?** No. Only your recovery phrase can do that. **5. Is it safe to reinstall Trust Wallet?** Yep, as long as you have your recovery phrase. **6. Should I freak out if I don't see my funds right away?** Nah, just take a deep breath and follow the steps. --- ## **Wrapping Up** If you're dealing with **missing crypto in Trust Wallet**, just remember that **your funds are likely safe on the blockchain**. Most of the time, it's just a **network mix-up, hidden tokens, or a temporary syncing issue.** Go through the steps to check the transaction, turn on the right network, and make sure your tokens are visible. You got this!
