App shows different balance than explorer
The block explorer reflects what's actually on the blockchain, so it's the source of truth. Kite usually catches up within seconds to a minute.
Quick fixes
- Pull to refresh on your balance screen and wait a few seconds. This clears most cases.
- Check the network. Make sure the explorer you're looking at is for the same network Kite is showing. Kite supports Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum One, BNB Smart Chain, and Optimism.
- Check the address. Confirm you pasted your Kite wallet address into the explorer exactly as it appears in the app.
- Give it a minute. If you just made a transaction, the app and explorer may not be in sync yet. Wait and refresh.
- Update the app. Make sure you're running the latest version of Kite.
Other reasons the numbers can differ
- Unsupported tokens. The explorer lists every token an address has ever received, including tokens Kite doesn't support or display. Only supported tokens appear in your Kite balance.
- Dust amounts. Very small balances (under about $0.01) may be filtered from the Kite display.
Still not matching
If the explorer shows a balance that hasn't appeared in Kite after 5+ minutes, email care@kiteapp.xyz with:
- Your wallet address
- Transaction hash
- The network
- A screenshot of the app and a screenshot of the explorer
