How to Add Tokens to MetaMask After Trading on iziSwap

 

After swapping tokens on iziSwap, it’s common to notice that the new token doesn’t appear in your MetaMask wallet right away. This doesn’t mean the trade failed or that the token wasn’t received — it simply means the token isn’t visible by default.

In this guide, you'll learn how to manually add tokens to MetaMask so you can see and manage your assets after completing a swap on iziSwap.

Why Some Tokens Don’t Show Up Automatically

MetaMask shows only a limited set of default tokens for each network. When you swap for a less common token — or one that isn’t automatically tracked — it won’t appear in your wallet until you manually import it.

This happens often when using DEXs like iziSwap across chains such as:

  • Arbitrum

  • zkSync

  • Optimism

  • Base

  • Ethereum Mainnet

Fortunately, adding a token takes less than a minute.

Step-by-Step: How to Add a Token to MetaMask

Step 1: Get the Token Contract Address

To add a token to MetaMask, you’ll need its contract address — a unique identifier on the blockchain.

You can find the contract address:

  • Directly on iziSwap after a swap (in the confirmation screen)

  • From a trusted blockchain explorer like etherscan.io or arbiscan.io

  • From the token’s official site or GitHub (double-check to avoid fake contracts)

⚠️ Always verify that you're copying the correct contract address from an official source.

Step 2: Open MetaMask and Select the Correct Network

  1. Open your MetaMask extension or mobile app

  2. Make sure you're connected to the same network you used on iziSwap (e.g., Arbitrum or zkSync)

Adding a token to the wrong network will result in it not appearing even if the swap succeeded.

Step 3: Click “Import Tokens” in MetaMask

  1. Scroll down in your wallet view

  2. Click the “Import Tokens” link at the bottom

  3. Paste the contract address of the token

  4. MetaMask will auto-fill the token symbol and decimals (or you can enter them manually)

  5. Click “Add Custom Token”, then “Import Tokens”

The token balance will now appear in your wallet.

Optional: Using iziSwap or Blockchain Explorers for Quick Import

Some explorers like Arbiscan or BaseScan provide a “Add to MetaMask” button directly next to the token information. This is often the fastest and safest method to import verified tokens.

After swapping on iziSwap, you can also check your wallet address on the appropriate block explorer and find the new token under the “ERC-20 Tokens” section.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is my token missing if it doesn't show up in MetaMask?
No — the token is likely in your wallet but not visible. You can confirm its presence using a block explorer.

Q: Can I lose my tokens if I don’t import them right away?
No. Your tokens are safe in your wallet. Importing them just makes them visible in MetaMask.

Q: Where can I find reliable token addresses?
Use verified sources like CoinGecko, DefiLlama, Etherscan, or the token project's GitHub. If you're using iziSwap, the token’s address is shown in the transaction.

Q: Does this process work for other wallets?
Yes, most Web3 wallets (like Trust Wallet or Rabby) offer similar ways to add tokens manually.

Conclusion

After trading on iziSwap, seeing your new tokens in MetaMask requires one extra — but simple — step: importing the token by contract address.

Understanding how to manually add tokens improves your confidence in using decentralized platforms and helps you avoid confusion after swaps. It’s a fundamental skill for every DeFi user.

If you're ever unsure about a token address or transaction, use a blockchain explorer and verify everything carefully.
