ERC-1155 token visibility issues on Goerli testnet Etherscan

NFT
1

I’m having trouble with my ERC-1155 token on Goerli testnet. I made a contract and sent a token to an address. The tokens show up in the ERC1155 Token Txns tab on Etherscan but there’s no View NFT button. This button usually appears for NFTs from places like OpenSea.

My token’s metadata is on IPFS and looks like this:

{
  "name": "Goerli test 6",
  "description": "",
  "image": "https://example.com/image.jpg"
}

Does anyone know why Etherscan isn’t showing a preview? Is it something wrong with my contract or metadata? Or do I need to do something extra to make it work?

I’m new to this and could really use some help figuring out what’s going on. Thanks!

I encountered a similar issue with ERC-1155 tokens on Goerli recently. One potential solution is to ensure your contract implements the ERC1155Metadata extension correctly by properly setting the URI for each token ID.

Additionally, verify that your metadata JSON strictly adheres to the ERC-1155 schema; even minor deviations can cause display issues. If these aspects check out, it might be helpful to contact Etherscan support for further insights. As an additional step, viewing your tokens on OpenSea’s testnet site could clarify whether the issue is specific to Etherscan or a broader problem.

hey there flyingeagle! i’ve had similar issues before, it can be so frustrating right? :upside_down_face: have you double-checked that your metadata is formatted exactly right? sometimes tiny things can throw it off. also, i’m curious - did you use the erc1155 standard exactly or did you customize anything? oh and how long ago did you deploy? sometimes etherscan takes a bit to catch up.

i wonder if it might help to try viewing it in a different wallet or marketplace? that could show if it’s an etherscan-specific issue or something broader.

what made you choose erc1155 for this project? i’m always interested to hear about different use cases! maybe we could brainstorm some ideas if you’re open to sharing more about what you’re building?

yo flyingeagle, i feel ur pain! etherscan can be weird sometimes. have u tried verifying ur contract on etherscan? that might help. also, check if ur metadata url is accessible. sometimes ipfs links take a while to propogate. if nothing else works, maybe try minting on mainnet? goerli can be flaky. good luck!
