NFT tokens in the metamask chrome extension

There are two ways to see and manage the NFTs in the MetaMask browser extension. One way is by using the Portfolio Dapp and another one is by adding NFTs manually as a custom token. We will explore both of the ways one by one, first have a look at the method of managing NFTs using Portfolio Dapp.

With Portfolio Dapp:

This can be considered as a standalone Dapp which aids you in managing your tokens (NFTs). In order to see your NFTs in MetaMask follow the steps outlined below.

  1. First of all, open the Portfolio Dapp.

  2. Now, you will see the button “Connect MetaMask” there.

  3. Click it and sign in with MetaMask by providing the token address.

  4. Hit “Next” and then press the “NFTs” slider button.

Now, you will be able to see your non-fungible tokens on MetaMask under the “NFTs” tab.

Steps to see NFTs by adding them as a custom token:

  1. Firstly open the MetaMask extension, sign in and locate the “Assets” tab.

  2. Press “Import tokens” you will see at the bottom of your screen.

  3. Go to the “Custom token” and you will be asked to provide needful information such as the contract address. You can visit block explorer or the NFT marketplace to know the type and contract address of your NFT.

  4. Once you have entered the contract address, the “Symbol” and a few other fields may auto-fill.

  5. After filling in all the details, press “Add custom token” and then, you will be able to see your NFTs under the “your assets” tab.

Note: MetaMask Extension doesn’t have the ability to show you NFTs by default as it doesn’t have any such in-built feature.
