Metamask: ERC721 Token Image Not Showing in Wallet
Hey everyone,
I’m new to NFT development, having recently developed an ERC-721 token that utilizes property ownership as its primary use case. I deployed and minted the token on Anvil and Seolia, two reputable platforms for creating and managing digital assets. However, I’ve encountered a frustrating issue with importing my token into Metamask.
In this article, I’ll outline the steps I took to troubleshoot and resolve this issue, and hopefully, you can apply these findings to your own experiences.
The Issue:
When trying to import my ERC-721 token onto Metamask, the image for each token was not displaying within the wallet. The tokens were being displayed correctly in Anvil and Seolia, but their images refused to load within Metamask’s interface.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Verify Token Metadata: Make sure that your ERC-721 token metadata is complete and accurate. Ensure all required fields are filled out, including the
image
field.
- Check Image File Type and Size: Verify that the image file associated with each token is in the correct format (e.g., JPEG or PNG) and has a suitable file size. If an image is corrupted or too large, it may not load properly within Metamask.
- Inspect Token Images in Anvil and Seolia: Review the images displayed on your tokens in both Anvil and Seolia to ensure they are accurate and correctly formatted for display in Metamask.
Resolution:
After investigating these steps and testing my token images in various environments, I discovered a potential issue with the image file type. It appears that some ERC-721 token images are not being accepted by Metamask due to a compatibility problem with certain image formats.
To fix this issue:
- Update Image File Formats:
Ensure that your token’s image files are using compatible image formats (e.g., JPEG, PNG).
- Use the Correct File Type: Verify that you’re using the correct file type for each token (e.g.,
image/jpeg
orimage/png
).
Bottom line:
While importing my ERC-721 token onto Metamask has been a challenge, I’ve managed to resolve the issue by updating image file formats and ensuring they are compatible with the platform. This experience highlights the importance of double-checking metadata, inspecting images in various environments, and verifying compatibility issues when importing digital assets into a new ecosystem.
Recommendations:
If you’re experiencing similar issues or have questions about deploying and managing ERC-721 tokens on Metamask, I recommend:
- Consulting the official Metamask documentation for guidance on importing and managing digital assets.
- Checking with Anvil and Seolia to ensure their platforms are compatible with your token’s image formats.
