Wallet Network Mismatch: Common Causes on Aptos
Why a token can appear missing when the wallet is simply connected to another network.
Why this matters on Aptos
When a balance appears missing, the asset may simply be on another network. Checking the chain and token contract before assuming a loss is one of the simplest troubleshooting steps.
Aptos uses the Move ecosystem and has asset conventions that differ from EVM networks.
Aptos does not follow standard EVM conventions. Address formats, token identifiers and approval mechanics differ, so EVM-oriented checklists and tools should only be applied to Aptos after confirming they are supported.
Aptos: what to pay attention to
- Assets and tokens: Verify the network-specific asset representation and account details.
- Costs: Compare network costs with any route or destination costs before moving small balances.
