### Step 5: \[Optional] Import AVAX Token on Wallet Manually to View Balance <a href="#id-7fe9" id="id-7fe9"></a>

For new networks, you would usually need to import tokens to view the balance on Metamask. When you’ve bridged your AVAX for the first time, don’t worry if you don’t see your AVAX balance on Metamask because you need to manually import the token for it to be viewable. You can do so by clicking on `Import Token` on your metamask:
