Browser wallet token display error when the Metadata gateway is not provided #588

When you create a metadata and host it on ipfs, it gives you a hash starting with Qm and it is accessible on the network using ipfs prefix like ipfs://Qmsomething

Browser wallet cant process metadata without having `https://ipfs.io` before the prefix cause it sends GET requests directly. However, this gateway is not IPFS. It is a gateway meaning if this website stops, things can get lost if its the metadata. Right way of storing metadata is ipfs://Qm and any gateway can reflect the network that way.

Ideally, a wallet should handle both. Ping me for more details or if not clear. @by
