You may have transferred some NFT on to your Coinbase wallet or have bought NFT with it, but the NFT is not showing up in your Coinbase wallet. If this is the case, don’t worry. This is a common issue, and we are going to solve it in this article.
In fact, there is no issue with your NFT not showing up in Coinbase wallet. We will show you how you can access your NFTs and the reasons why they are not showing up in the Coinbase wallet.
So come with me. Let me show you why your NFT is not showing up in your Coinbase wallet and how to fix it.
4 Reasons Why Your NFT is Not Showing up in Coinbase Wallet.
There are a number of reasons why the NFT you sent to your coinbase wallet is not reflecting on your app. It could be due to an unsupported file format, an unsupported network, or that your NFT has not been synced yet. Let’s explore it.
1) Your NFT is built on Coinbase unsupported networks.
One of the reasons your NFT is not showing up in your Coinbase wallet might be because it is tokenized with Coinbase’s unsupported blockchain.
Currently, coinbase only supports tokens on Ethereum networks or Polygon, so if you purchase an NFT on Solana, Terra, or Binance smartchain, then those NFTs will not reflect in your coinbase wallet app.
It is normal for your NFT not to reflect on the app if the NFT is on networks other than ETH or Polygon.
How To Fix This Issue.
If you sent an NFT that is among the Unsupported network , you can solve this by importing your Coinbase wallet into another wallet like Metamask or Trustwallet.
So you will need to look for another non-custodial wallet that supports the network on which your NFT is built and then import your Coinbase wallet to it.
Note: you will need your seed phrase to import your coinbase wallet into another wallet. You can follow this guide to import your NFTs into your Metamsk wallet.
2) Coinbase does not support your NFT file type.
It is not all types of NFT that Coinbase supports. Only NFTS containing images or GIF files are supported by Coinbase.
If your NFT is a video file, then it will not show up on your Coinbase wallet app. So check if your NFT is not an image or GIF file. If it is not either of the two, then your NFT will not show up on coinbase.
How To Fix this Issue.
If you sent an NFT whose file type is not supported on the Coinbase wallet, you can solve this by importing your Coinbase wallet into another wallet like Metamask or Trustwallet.
3) Your NFT Data is not synched.
Another reason your NFT is not showing up in your Coinbase wallet is because the data has not been synched yet.
Big companies use server-side caching to optimize site performance, but it has the harm of delaying data synchronization.
Caching a site reduces the number of requests on its server, improving load time and service efficacy.
How to Fix this issue
If your NFT passes the two tests above and it doesn’t show up on your Coinbase wallet app, then it is probably that its data is not synched yet.
To solve this, you will need to give the server some time for it to sync and have your NFT sent to your coinbase wallet.
4) Your NFT is lazy-minted.
Another reason NFT will not appear in the Coinbase wallet is that it was created using the lazy minting method.
Lazy-minting is a process where a marketplace allows you to create your NFT for free. These NFTs are not deployed on a blockchain until their first transaction. So, if you used the lazy-minting method to create an NFT with your Coinbase wallet, the NFT will not show up in your Coinbase wallet app.
Conclusion
Although there are many other reasons that NFT will not show up on the coinbase wallet app, the four listed here are the most frequent. If your NFT is not in any of the above shoes, then consider doing more research or contacting OpenSea support.
