NFT and ERC-20 tokens to automatically be added in MM

Hi!

I know there are several topics on NFT and ERC-20 tokens that do not automatically show up in Metamask (or even Uniswap) and the solution is to add them as a custom token.

But I would like to understand WHY some tokens automatically show up while others must be imported.

Is there anything that must/can be done by the developers of an ERC-20/721/1155 to have the tokens automatically show up on Metamask?

Do the tokens show up when meeting certain criteria? (e.g. verified collection/creator on Opensea for a 721/1155 or having a liquidity pool/certain number of transactions for an ERC-20).

Thank you for the help!

It’s good that custom tokens don’t add automatically.

Some scammers have made a condition for swap coins
to hold another coin or etc.
When we continue to do it, we go to approved contact.
after that you lose all money.

such as

The name of the coin is the web name.

in ethereum chain
you can detect custom token automatic
because it is more secure but not always secure

setting > Experimental > Use token detection

Thank you for your reply, very useful info!

I see the automatic detection option on the main net but it is not available on testnets.

I am asking this because I am learning solidity and blockchain dev at the moment :slight_smile:

What is the actual technical difference between a custom token and a token that is detected in Metamask then?

Also for NTFs, some NFTs I bought on Opensea show automatically and others don’t.
I think this is because some creators are verified while others aren’t.

My question is: what is the technical difference between them?

Thank you again for your reply!
