// STEP_BY_STEP_FIX3 steps
01
Import the Token Manually
The token simply isn't added to your wallet's display list. In MetaMask: Assets → Import Token → paste the token contract address from Etherscan or CoinGecko.
02
Verify on Block Explorer
Go to Etherscan, search your wallet address, click "Token" dropdown — your token should be listed there even if MetaMask doesn't show it.
03
Check Correct Network
Make sure your wallet is on the same chain you swapped on (e.g., Ethereum vs BSC vs Polygon). Tokens are chain-specific.
