Metamask: MetaMask fails to recognize tokens on local network
As a Truffle and Ganache developer, you’re probably familiar with setting up MetaMask to connect your local Ethereum network. However, sometimes the token listed on MetaMask may not be correct or up-to-date. In this article, we’ll explore why MetaMask fails to recognize a specific token on your local network and provide solutions to fix the problem.
The problem:
When you create an ERC20 token using Truffle and Ganache, MetaMask lists the token’s name, symbol, and address. However, if the token isn’t deployed on the mainnet or isn’t listed on any other reputable exchange or wallet, it may not appear on your local network.
Why is this happening?
There are a few reasons why MetaMask may not be able to recognize a token on your local network:
- Token Deployment: If you are using Truffle and Ganache to deploy your ERC20 token, make sure it is listed on the mainnet or another reputable exchange.
- Wallet Configuration: Make sure your wallet is properly configured to connect to your local network. This may involve setting up a new wallet or adjusting the connection settings in MetaMask.
- Token Data: If you are using a custom token implementation, make sure it is sending accurate data to MetaMask.
Solutions:
To resolve this issue, try the following:
- Check your mainnet deployment: Check that your ERC20 token is deployed on the mainnet and listed on reputable exchanges or wallets.
- Configure your wallet correctly: Make sure your wallet is configured to connect to your local network using a new wallet or by adjusting the connection settings in MetaMask.
- Check token data
: Check your custom token implementation to make sure it is sending accurate data to MetaMask.
Other tips:
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Truffle and Ganache.
- When connecting to your local network, use the
--network
flag to specify the connection type (e.g. « local » or « mainnet »).
- Consider using a different wallet or token implementation that is more accurate.
Conclusion:
While it can be frustrating to have a MetaMask list that doesn’t match your local network, there are solutions. By checking your mainnet deployment and configuring your wallet correctly, you should be able to solve the problem. If the issue persists, consider verifying your token details or using a different wallet or token implementation.
