If you recently bought a token using a decentralized application on Trust Wallet, you might not be able to see its balance.
This is because you haven’t added the token/crypto to Trust Wallet yet.
By default, Trust Wallet has 4 tokens.
This includes “Bitcoin”, “Ethereum”, “BNB”, and “Smart Chain”.
You can add other tokens by tapping on the filter icon on Trust Wallet.
After you’ve tapped on the filter icon, you’ll see a list of tokens that you can add to Trust Wallet.
However, if the token is new, you won’t be able to find it on the list.
Hence, you need to manually add the token by pasting its address.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to add a custom token/crypto/coin on Trust Wallet so that you can see its balance.
How to add a custom token to Trust Wallet
To add a custom token to Trust Wallet, you need to copy the token’s address on CoinMarketCap.
Then, you can add the token to Trust Wallet by pasting its address.
Trust Wallet allows you to add a custom token/crypto.
You can do so by tapping on the filter icon on the Trust Wallet app.
After you’ve tapped on the filter icon, you’ll see a list of cryptocurrencies that you can enable to disable.
However, you might not be able to see the token/crypto that you want to add.
If that’s the case, you need to manually add the token to Trust Wallet by pasting its address in the search bar.
Here is how to add a custom token to Trust Wallet.
- Go to CoinMarketCap and tap on the search icon
- Search for the token on CoinMarketCap
- Copy the token’s address
- Open Trust Wallet and tap on the filter icon
- Paste the token’s address and enable it
- The token has been successfully added
1. Go to CoinMarketCap and tap on the search icon
To begin with, you need to copy the token’s address.
By doing so, you’ll be able to add the token to Trust Wallet.
You can copy the token’s address on various websites.
This includes CoinMarketCap, BscScan, and more.
In this guide, we’ll use CoinMarketCap to copy the token’s address.
Firstly, open a browser (e.g., Safari, Chrome) and go to coinmarketcap.com.
Once you’re on CoinMarketCap, tap on the search icon on the header of the site.
2. Search for the token on CoinMarketCap
After you’ve tapped on the search icon on the header of the site, you’ll see a list of trending cryptocurrencies.
Now, you need to search for the token that you want to add to Trust Wallet.
For example, if you want to add “LuckyPig” on Trust Wallet, search for “LuckyPig”.
Next, tap on the “LuckyPig” token to view it.
If the token that you want to add does not show up, it means that it’s not on CoinMarketCap yet.
If that’s the case, you need to go to the token’s official website to copy its address.
3. Copy the token’s address
After you’ve tapped on the token, you’ll see its current price.
Scroll down the page until you see “Contracts”.
Next to “Contracts”, you’ll see the token’s contract address.
Tap on the duplicate icon to copy the token’s contract address.
4. Open Trust Wallet and tap on the filter icon
After you’ve copied the token’s contract address, open Trust Wallet.
On Trust Wallet, you’ll see your token balances.
This includes “Bitcoin”, “Ethereum”, “BNB”, and “Smart Chain”.
To add more tokens, tap on the filter icon on the top navigation bar.
5. Paste the token’s address and enable it
After you’ve tapped on the filter icon, you’ll see a list of tokens/cryptos that you can enable or disable.
You can try scrolling down the list to find the token that you want to add.
In most cases, the token will not be included on the list—especially if it’s new.
Hence, you need to manually add the token to Trust Wallet.
Now, you need to paste the token’s address (that you’ve copied in the third step) on the search bar.
Lastly, tap on the switch to add the token to Trust Wallet.
If the token does not show up, you need to tap on “Add Custom Token”.
Next, provide the network, contract address, name, symbol, decimals, and tap on “Save”.
6. The token has been successfully added
After you’ve enabled the token, you’ll be able to see it in your wallet.
For example, if you’ve added the “LuckyPig” token, you’ll be able to see it in your wallet under “Tokens”.
To do so, tap on “Wallet” on the bottom navigation bar and scroll down.
If you’ve used TrustWallet to buy the “LuckyPig” token, its balance will be shown.
You’ve successfully added a custom token to Trust Wallet!
Conclusion
If you’ve recently bought a token on PancakeSwap or Uniswap using Trust Wallet, you need to add it to Trust Wallet.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to see its balance.
You can add any token/crypto/coin on Trust Wallet by pasting its address.
However, the token might not be available on CoinMarketCap.
If that’s the case, you need to copy its contract address on the official token’s website or on BscScan.
