Support custom tokens on chains that re-use chain IDs of well known chains

[kaimeinke]

User story:
As a user of frame I would like to import my custom tokens to have a correct overview over my balances.

Example:
Currently I am unable to add the custom token using the "Add Token" feature.

Network configuration is
Network name: GEN-X
New RPC URL: https://rpc.genx.minimal-gaia-x.eu/
Chain ID: 100
Currency Symbol: GX
Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.genx.minimal-gaia-x.eu/
Token Name & Address: "Ocean": "0x0995527d3473b3A98C471f1ED8787ACD77fBF009"

See: https://explorer.genx.minimal-gaia-x.eu/token/0x0995527d3473b3A98C471f1ED8787ACD77fBF009/token-transfers

Reproduction:

I use the "Add Token" function with the correct values.

After hitting "Add Token" the custom token does not appear in the overview.

Question:
How can I fix this and make the custom token appear in my balance?

@kaimeinke This works for me on our latest Canary version, which will replace the beta.22 version of Frame soon when it moves to production. However in order to add the GEN-X chain I had to remove Gnosis, which uses the same chain ID.

Thank you @goosewobbler , I am using https://github.com/floating/frame/releases/tag/v0.5.0-beta.22 and I am not able to add the custom token. Where could I find the latest version to try the update?

Please bear in mind that Canary may not be updated for some time once the release is completed so it will be better for you to switch back to using production (which will auto-update) after the release.

Thanks a lot, I will report back after testing.

Feedback after the initial testing. Thank you for the help @goosewobbler.

1. I am able to add the token. Autodiscovery works well.

2. I am unable to see the Token in the Balances overview after that.

It is not in the mainbar, which is most likely intended.

So, how can I enforce tokens to become visible because "as a user I need to have an overview of my portfolio"?

@kaimeinke After adding, the token should now be displayed if you have a non-zero balance of it. If this isn't happening and you have a public address with some amount of the token I can check why this is happening through a watch account

Thank you @goosewobbler

Currently, I only see the token if I open the token menu. At least that seems stable, but no amount is displayed.

You could use this address for a watch account 0x28080F654eED6CC00e8b16F4841E92CD0c2C0778, it certainly has a balance: https://explorer.genx.minimal-gaia-x.eu/address/0x28080F654eED6CC00e8b16F4841E92CD0c2C0778/tokens#address-tabs
