Introduction
If a token is not showing in Trust Wallet, it can be confusing—especially when you’re sure the transaction was successful on the blockchain.
In most cases, the token is not missing or lost.
It simply isn’t enabled or added yet in Trust Wallet.
This guide explains why a token may not appear and shows you safe, step-by-step instructions to add a missing token manually without risking your funds.
Quick Answer
If a token is not showing in Trust Wallet, do the following:
- Make sure you’re on the correct network
- Search and enable the token
- Add the token manually using the contract address
- Verify the token on a blockchain explorer
- Refresh or restart the app
Most missing tokens appear immediately after being added manually.
Why a Token Is Not Showing in Trust Wallet
Token Is Not Enabled
Trust Wallet does not display every token by default.
Many tokens must be enabled manually.
Wrong Network Selected
The same token name can exist on multiple networks.
If you’re on the wrong network, the balance will show as zero.
Custom or New Token
New or lesser-known tokens are often not listed automatically.
Wallet Sync Delay
Temporary sync issues may prevent balances from appearing immediately.
How to Add a Missing Token in Trust Wallet (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Confirm the Correct Network
- Open Trust Wallet
- Check which network the token was sent on
- Make sure you’re viewing the same network
Using the wrong network is the most common issue.
Step 2: Search and Enable the Token
- Tap the filter icon (top right)
- Search for the token name or symbol
- Toggle the token ON
- Return to the main wallet screen
If the token exists in Trust Wallet’s list, this step alone may fix the issue.
Step 3: Find the Token Contract Address
If the token doesn’t appear:
- Open a trusted blockchain explorer:
- Etherscan (Ethereum)
- BscScan (BNB Smart Chain)
- Polygonscan (Polygon)
- Search for the token name
- Copy the contract address
⚠️ Always verify the contract from an official source.
Step 4: Add the Token Manually
- In Trust Wallet, tap Add Custom Token
- Select the correct network
- Paste the contract address
- Token details should auto-fill
- Tap Save
The token balance should appear immediately.
Step 5: Refresh the Wallet
If the balance doesn’t show right away:
- Close Trust Wallet completely
- Reopen the app
- Pull down to refresh
- Restart your phone if needed
Common Mistakes to Avoid ❌
- Adding the token on the wrong network
- Using fake contract addresses
- Importing your wallet into unknown apps
- Trusting “token recovery” websites
Trust Wallet will never ask for your recovery phrase.

Final Thoughts
A token not showing in Trust Wallet is usually a display issue, not a loss of funds.
By confirming the network and adding the token manually with the correct contract address, most users restore visibility safely and quickly.
Always double-check contract details and avoid rushing into unsafe fixes.
