@orironer just to be clear, Brave doesn’t auto populate every cryptocurrency in the world. So while we receive the tokens to our Wallet, it may not know to display it to us. When this happens, we have to either enable it if it’s something in Available Assets or we may have to add the information ourselves through Add custom asset. In doing so, we teach it that we want to see it and it should be able to then recognize and display what we have.
I’m not sure which guide might be best for you in understanding how this works. I have a small one I wrote and is pinned in the FAQ here on Community, which you can see at PSA: Current FAQ - #40 by Saoiray
