In this article, we will explain why Metamask shows “you are not the owner of adding NFT”. If you are reading this, you may be facing that situation. I hope your concern may solve after reading this.

Why does Metamask show "you are not the owner of adding NFT"?

If you get a message telling you that you are not the owner of adding NFT, make sure you are trying to add the token to the correct MetaMask account. Additionally, please verify on the network's block explorer that you own the NFT at the MetaMask wallet address. If you're not sure how to view your wallet on the block explorer, see our guide.

How to fix it?

The NFT tab may also not display the NFT's address and NFT's ID If there is a problem with the transaction. Check out the fixes below You can get out of this as soon as possible.

Method 1: NFT contract address ownership

Before considering the issue of the contract address of the transaction,

A block explorer must be used to check if your NFT is there.

Check the NFT address on Etherscan

Etherscan is a very popular block explorer that you can use to verify whether

NFT ownership has the correct information. You need to put your NFT token ID into this block explorer. If you have put the address on Etherscan it shows. If the address of the NFT is valid and belongs to you, then continue the following fixes.
Method 2. You are using the MetaMask extension

We cannot stress this enough - use MetaMask wallet on your mobile

For NFT purposes.

Speaking of NFTS, seeing on extensions they are not natively

So far possible, so if you want to see NFTs you better use MetaMask

Move on to your mobile device. Use the mobile version of the MetaMask wallet

Download MetaMask Wallet on your phone to save your secret recovery

phrase, and check the dedicated tab for NFTs on the app. Did your NFT show up there? it should. Otherwise, try the fixes below. 

Method 3. You added the wrong NFT MetaMask account

MetaMask prompts users to verify they are using the correct wallet

The address on MetaMask before executing the NFT transaction.

Remember, NFTs are nothing without ownership, so if you are using

Wrong wallet account, then the NFT won't appear - it's that simple.

Method 4. Inconsistent with NFT Unique Identifier

You may have entered the wrong collection ID and address on MetaMask.

If this is your problem, follow the instructions here. Verify information on your MetaMask and OpenSea accounts Remember that OpenSea is the primary NFTS information data provider for MetaMask.

The unique identifier of the asset you enter on MetaMask must be exactly as it appears on OpenSea. Again, all information must match any information displayed on OpenSea. Otherwise, the NFT will not be added.

I hope you now will understand Why does Metamask show "you are not the owner of adding NFT". Good luck with the verifying process.
