How to Add NFT to MetaMask? 

MetaMask is one of the most popular wallets that lets you add custom tokens into it, add ETH, NGTs, Matic, and many other digital wallets to provide the security required for every transaction you plan to make.

• NFTs are the abbreviation for Non-Fungible Tokens and are cryptographic assets with distinctive identification codes differentiating them from each other.

In contrast to this, there are fungible tokens often used for commercial transactions and are similar. Now NFTs are all over the cryptocurrency world, and you should not wait to link them to your MetaMask Wallet. Here is what you need to do to add NFT to MetaMask:

2. It opens a dialogue box before you, and you will not see any option for the NFTs as you did previously on the mobile application.

9. From here, copy the contract address from the icon right next to your address. It gives the option of Copy Address to the clipboard as soon as you move the cursor on it.
10. You must paste it in the Token Contract Address in the extension under the Custom Token box.
11. Now when you add the Token Contract Address in the field, MetaMask recognizes it and automatically fills the Token Symbol on its own.
12. Lastly, there is an option of Token Decimal right below the Token Symbol. You need to enter 0 and click on Add Custom Token to proceed.
