Just created a token but can’t see it in Phantom?
You’ve minted your first token on Solana and you’re excited to show it off. But when you open Phantom Wallet, nothing shows up. Don’t worry — this is normal. Phantom automatically detects tokens, but sometimes it needs a little help. Here’s how to make sure your custom token appears where it belongs.
Why tokens don’t always show automatically
Phantom Wallet scans the Solana blockchain for tokens associated with your wallet address. If your token was just created, the wallet may not recognize it right away. In some cases, you need to add it manually by entering the token’s mint address.
Step 1: Check Solana Explorer
Every token has a unique mint address. After creating your token with Solana Token Creator, copy the mint address and look it up in Solana Explorer. This confirms the token exists and was successfully minted on-chain.
Step 2: Add token in Phantom
- 1️⃣ Open Phantom Wallet.
- 2️⃣ Click on “Manage Token List.”
- 3️⃣ Paste your token’s mint address.
- 4️⃣ Save it — and your token should now appear in your wallet.
Step 3: Send or receive your token
Once added, you can send the token to friends, airdrop it, or even trade it if you list it on a DEX. From now on, Phantom will always display it in your wallet balance.
Why Solana Token Creator makes this easier
When you use Solana Token Creator, your token isn’t just minted — it comes with IPFS-hosted metadata, meaning Phantom can display its name, symbol, and image correctly. This gives your token a professional look and builds trust with anyone who receives it.
Final thoughts
Don’t panic if your custom token doesn’t show up in Phantom immediately. By checking Solana Explorer and adding the mint address, you’ll see your creation appear like any other token. And with Solana Token Creator, you can ensure your token looks polished, secure, and ready to share.
