Summary: Placed a $50 XEN purchase on the Polygon network, yet my wallet shows over $47,000 in coins. Transfers normalize to the initial $50 value. How can I preserve this value?
i think your wallet is miscalculating decimals so its showing a bogus inflated value. the true holdings stick close to that $50 though. double check on explorer for proper token details, might be just a ui glitch or rounding weirdness
hey sophiaatom88, thats really something, isn’t it?? i was thinking, maybe the wallet is displaying some extra info or coins that aren’t actually spendable in the usual sense. could it be that some tokens are denominated differently (like those funny decimals issues) so the display is kinda misleading? also, i wonder if its some kind of bonus or promotional thing that got bundled in but then gets trimmed out on transfers. have you seen anything in the explorer details that shows these extra coins? im really curious what could be happening from a tech standpoint. what d’you think could be the reason? any clues from the contract or the community announcements? lets figure it out together!
Based on similar issues I’ve encountered, the peculiar inflated display is likely due to the wallet misinterpreting the token’s decimal properties rather than a real increase in intrinsic value. When tokens are designed with a high decimal count, the UI may multiply the underlying balance in a way that suggests a far greater monetary value. My experience indicates that verifying the transaction on a trusted blockchain explorer usually provides clarity. Cross-checking token parameters in the smart contract documentation can also reveal if this is merely a formatting oversight.
