Description of the issue: Minted an NFT and it was transferred to my Brave ETH wallet but even with discovery on it didn’t show up in the NFT tab nor the Transactions tab. I ended up importing it and it’s listed as watch-only with the message that I don’t own it with the “Owned By” address clearly showing as my Brave ETH wallet. I’ve seen people have posted this issue before. Is there a resolution?

If “Owned By” shows your address, you own it on-chain — this is just a UI sync issue.

Fix it:

Check Etherscan → paste your address → “NFT Transfers” tab to confirm

Make sure Brave Wallet is on the exact network where you minted (ETH Mainnet vs Layer 2 makes a big difference)

Import manually with the Contract Address + Token ID on the correct network

Still stuck? Go to brave://settings/wallet → clear wallet cache → restart

The “watch-only” label is a known display bug — doesn’t affect actual ownership.
