Happy Sunday readizens. I trust you all enjoyed the service at church today. If you are a Muslim, I do hope you are chilling at home. All the same, I wanna wish everyone a good Sunday 🤗

My tokens are not reflecting

As regards to a token you have purchased or you did the airdrop and maybe your friends are sharing their testimonies of receiving the token but when you checked your wallet, you couldn't see anything. The simple thing to do is to first scan your wallet. Many people have been left in awe after scanning their wallet because the amount of tokens they found in it was more than what they thought they have. Below are some steps to scan your wallet

Open your trust wallet, metamask or other common crypto wallet

Login to your wallet.

Copy the address of the blockchain you want to scan

To do this, you have to click on the blockchain you want to scan. For example: if I want to know the amount of tokens I have on the Binance SmartChain network (also called Bep-20 or BNB), I will have to open the token and copy the wallet address. Note that their example is for wallets that supports BNB network. For metamask that only supports Ethereum based tokens, you will have only one address for all the sub-chains in the wallet. What I meant is, once you copy your address you can use it to scan for all the networks on metamask (some of which includes; Avalanche, CELO, MATIC or polygon, Fantom network, BCH, etc)

scanning on Trust wallet

After you have copied your BSC address, go to DAPP and type bscscan.com in the search box and press search.

In the search box as shown above, paste your BSC address into the box and press search. This will bring out all the tokens you have on that address. To add a token to your wallet, simply click the desired token icon shown on the list of the tokens you have. This is take you to the tokens info. From there you can copy the contract address (C.A) of the token. Exist the DAPP and go add to your wallet using the following steps;

  • Click on the dashboard at the top right-hand side of your trust wallet

  • Click on add custom token (found at the base.

  • Change the network to BSC (if you don't, it won't load it)

  • Then paste the address of the token into the box shown, add the ID if it doesn't load automatically

  • Then press done. Wallah! Your token is added to your wallet.

Same process applied to adding Ethereum based tokens with the exception that Ethereum address is copied and etherscan.com is typed into the search box on the DAPP

Scanning on metamask

Scanning on metamask is a bit tricky for newbies as you must first change to the network you want to scan. E.g; if you want to check the amount of tokens you have on Fantom network, you must first change to Fantom network on metamask

When I participated in airdrops in 2020, I always thought the tokens will appear in my wallet but it was later that someone told me that I have to scan my address to see if I am part of the airdrops. This article will be beneficial to newbies
