Metamask is a cryptocurrency wallet that lets users buy and spend crypto coins without inconvenience. But recently, several users have reported that their tokens are not showing up on Metamask even after successfully purchasing them. Spending hard-earned cash on Metamask and not having any tokens in the wallet to show for it is an alarming issue.
Even if the transaction were unsuccessful, that would have been good. That would have ensured that the money would be reverted to your account. But in this scenario, even the transaction shows up as successful, not leaving any room for a flow back. If you are one of these troubled users of Metamask, this article will help you. Here, we have listed out the possible ways you can fix this. So without any further ado, let’s get into it.
As of now, though, you don’t need to be worried about this issue at all. This is because the tokens are showing up on Metamask accounts. It is just taking a while to do so. The tokens should reflect on your account if you wait a few hours after the transaction.
But for people who are not getting the tokens even after waiting, try the solutions mentioned below.
