Transferred tokens to your wallet but they're nowhere to be found in your assets list? 🤔

Don't worry—it's a common situation. Most likely, you just need to manually register the token in your wallet.

Here's the straightforward process for adding custom tokens to your Web3 wallet using the contract address:

1. Open your wallet and find the "Add Token" or "Custom Token" option
2. Paste the contract address into the designated field
3. The wallet should auto-populate the token name and decimals
4. Confirm and save

Once added, the token should appear in your assets immediately. If it still doesn't show up, double-check that you're using the correct contract address and that the token actually landed on the right blockchain network.

It's the same old problem again. I don't know how many times I've been asked this. If I copy the contract address with just one wrong letter, I have to spend half a day looking for it. Oh my goodness.

Oh my God, it's this issue again. Having to manually add the contract address every time is really frustrating.

Oh my god, finally someone explained it clearly. I was wondering why the coins disappeared. --- Copied the contract address wrong once, thought I got hacked haha. --- This issue has been bothering me for a long time. Turns out I just didn't add the token. --- Wait, do I also need to check the blockchain network? I never paid attention to this before. --- As expected, ninjas are all self-sabotaging. Just add it manually and it's done. --- This is so damn common. Every time there's a new coin, I have to go through this process again. --- Some wallets really need to optimize this feature. Beginners can easily get confused. --- Pasted the contract address with a typo, looked everywhere before realizing it was here. --- I just want to know why some wallets can recognize automatically, while others require manual input. --- Decimals has tricked me several times. Details determine success or failure.

Damn, I've fallen into this trap before. Copying the wrong character in the contract address is a complete waste.

ah yes, the classic "where did my tokens go" moment. historically speaking, this exact confusion peaked around 2017-2018 when every retail investor suddenly discovered contract addresses existed. pattern recognition tells us most of these missing tokens are just visibility issues, not actual losses. funny how we keep repeating this tutorial cycle every bull run
