Introduction
Opening Trust Wallet and noticing that your token is not showing can be alarming—especially if you recently made a transaction or added a new token.
In most cases, this issue does not mean your crypto is lost. Tokens may be hidden, added to the wrong network, or require manual configuration.
This guide explains why tokens don’t show up in Trust Wallet and how to fix the issue safely, step by step.
Quick Answer
If a token is not showing in Trust Wallet:
- The token may be hidden
- The wrong network may be selected
- The token was not added manually
- The transaction may still be pending
- The token contract may be incorrect
Your funds are usually safe.
Common Reasons Tokens Don’t Show in Trust Wallet
Token Is Hidden
Trust Wallet hides tokens by default if:
- They were recently added
- They are custom or new tokens
Hidden tokens won’t appear until enabled manually.
Wrong Network Selected
Many tokens exist on multiple networks.
If you’re viewing the wrong network:
- The token balance won’t appear
- The wallet may look empty
Token Not Added Manually
Custom or new tokens must often be:
- Added manually
- Enabled through the token list
They won’t show automatically.
Pending or Failed Transaction
If the transaction is:
- Still pending
- Failed
- Sent with very low fees
The balance may not update yet.
Incorrect Token Contract Address
Adding a token with the wrong contract address will result in:
- Zero balance
- No token display
How to Fix Trust Wallet Token Not Showing (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Enable the Token Manually
- Open Trust Wallet
- Tap the token filter icon
- Search for the token name
- Enable it if found
Step 2: Add the Token as a Custom Token
If the token doesn’t appear:
- Tap “Add Custom Token”
- Select the correct network
- Enter the official contract address
- Save and refresh the wallet
Step 3: Check the Correct Network
- Confirm which network the token uses
- Switch to that network in Trust Wallet
- Refresh the wallet view
Step 4: Verify the Transaction on the Blockchain
- Copy the transaction hash (TXID)
- Check it on a blockchain explorer
- Confirm whether it’s successful
If it’s pending, wait until confirmation.
Step 5: Restart and Update the App
- Restart Trust Wallet
- Update the app if an update is available
- Reopen the wallet and check again
What NOT to Do ❌
- Do not trust “token recovery” services
- Do not share your recovery phrase
- Do not reinstall without backing up your phrase
- Do not panic and add random contracts
Your security matters more than speed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are my tokens lost if they’re not showing?
No. Tokens are stored on the blockchain, not inside the app.
Why does the balance show zero?
Usually due to wrong network or incorrect contract address.
Can Trust Wallet support recover missing tokens?
They can’t recover funds but can provide guidance.
Does reinstalling fix the issue?
Only if you safely restore using your recovery phrase.
Final Thoughts
A token not showing in Trust Wallet is a display or configuration issue, not a loss of funds in most cases.
By enabling the token, selecting the correct network, and verifying transactions, you can safely restore visibility without risking your wallet.
