Don't sweat it! This is a pretty common problem, and usually, it just means there's a small issue with how things are showing up or with the network. Your funds are almost always safe. Trust Wallet can handle tons of tokens on different blockchains. Because it's so flexible, sometimes tokens don't pop up right away unless you've got the right network and settings turned on. ### **What Token Not Showing Really Means** Here's what you might see: * Your token balance is missing or shows zero. * A transaction went through, but you still don't see the token. * The token shows up on the blockchain explorer, but not in your Trust Wallet. Usually, these things just mean you need to tweak some settings to make the token visible. Your crypto is still there. ### **Why This Happens So Often** Here are the usual suspects: * Tokens are hidden by default. * The wrong blockchain is selected. * You need to add some tokens yourself. * There are temporary syncing problems after updates. --- ## **Top Reasons Why a Token Might Not Show Up** ### **The Token Is Hidden or Turned Off** Trust Wallet lets you turn tokens on and off. Sometimes, updates can mess with these settings. ### **You've Picked the Wrong Blockchain** Lots of tokens live on more than one network (like Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain). If you're looking at the wrong network, the token will seem like it's missing. ### **You Haven't Added the Token Manually** For new or less common tokens, you often have to add them yourself using something called a contract address. ### **Your Transaction Is Still Waiting** If your transaction hasn't fully gone through yet, Trust Wallet might not show the token. ### **The App Has Cache or Sync Issues** Old files or temporary glitches can stop your balances from loading correctly. --- ## **How Trust Wallet Shows Your Tokens** ### **Blockchain vs. Wallet** Your tokens actually live on the blockchain, not inside Trust Wallet. The app just looks at the blockchain info linked to your wallet address. ### **Why Your Tokens Are Still Safe** Even if you can't see a token: * The blockchain still knows you own it. * Your private keys haven't changed. * The app issue won't make your funds disappear. That's why fixing this usually means turning something back on or re-syncing, not trying to get your crypto back. --- ## **Step-by-Step Guide: Fixing a Token Not Showing Up in Trust Wallet** Follow these steps in order. Most people get things sorted out in just a few minutes. ### **Step 1: Check the Transaction on a Blockchain Explorer** 1. Copy the transaction hash (TXID). 2. Go to the right blockchain explorer. 3. Make sure the transaction says **Success**. If it's confirmed, your token is already on the blockchain. ### **Step 2: Turn On the Right Network** 1. Open Trust Wallet. 2. Tap the filter icon (usually in the top right). 3. Look for the network you used (Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, etc.). 4. Turn it ON. Tokens won't show up if their network is off. ### **Step 3: Unhide or Turn On the Token** * Tap the filter/search icon. * Search for the name of your token. * Turn it ON. Lots of tokens are hidden to start. ### **Step 4: Add the Token Yourself (Custom Token)** If you still 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 token details. You can find the right token info at ** ### **Step 5: Refresh, Restart, and Re-sync** * Close Trust Wallet completely. * Open the app again. * Pull down on the screen to refresh. * Wait a minute or two for things to sync up. ### **Step 6: Clear Cache (Android)** On Android: * Go to Settings → Apps → Trust Wallet. * Tap Storage → Clear Cache. ⚠️ Just a heads up: Don't clear app data unless you have your recovery phrase! --- ## **Fixing Network Problems** ### **ERC-20 vs BEP-20 vs Other Types** Many tokens can be on different networks: * ERC-20 (Ethereum) * BEP-20 (BNB Smart Chain) * TRC-20 (Tron) If you send a token on one network and check another, it'll look like it's missing. ### **How to Know Which Network You Used** Check these things: * The withdrawal network from the exchange. * The transaction explorer you used. * The token contract address. Once you know, turn that network on in Trust Wallet. --- ## **Getting Missing Tokens Back with Your Recovery Phrase** ### **When to Re-import Your Wallet** If nothing else works: 1. Uninstall Trust Wallet. 2. Reinstall it from the official app store. 3. Tap I already have a wallet. 4. Type in your 12-word recovery phrase. This forces everything to re-sync. ### **Recovery Phrase Rules** * Never share your phrase. * Never type it on a website. * Trust Wallet support will never ask for it. Your recovery phrase is super important! --- ## **Known Token Display Glitches in Trust Wallet** ### **Issues After Updates** After big updates, some tokens might vanish until you turn them back on. ### **Network Overload** Too much activity can slow down balance updates, especially on popular blockchains. --- ## **How to Avoid Token Display Problems Later** ### **Best Practices When Getting Tokens** * Always double-check the network. * Send a small test amount first. * Save the token contract addresses. ### **Backup and Security Checklist** * Keep your recovery phrase offline. * Turn on app lock and fingerprint security. * Always update Trust Wallet from the official sources. --- ## **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)** **1. Is my token gone if it's not showing up?** Nope. It's almost always a visibility or network thing. **2. Why does the token show on the explorer but not in Trust Wallet?** Either the token is hidden, or you've got the wrong network selected. **3. Do I have to add most tokens myself?** Yep, especially if they're new or not very common. **4. Is it safe to reinstall Trust Wallet?** Sure, as long as you have your recovery phrase. **5. Can Trust Wallet support help me get my tokens back?** No, only your recovery phrase can do that. **6. How long do these token display issues usually last?** Usually just a few minutes to a few hours. --- ## **The Bottom Line** If you're seeing the Trust Wallet Token Not Displaying message, don't panic! Your tokens are almost certainly safe. It's usually just a matter of hidden tokens, wrong networks, or some temporary syncing issues. Follow the steps above, and you'll be able to see your tokens again quickly and safely.
