Token Info Submission Guidelines

A complete and professional token page on Etherscan helps you build trust, increase transparency, and improve discoverability for users, investors, and exchanges.

As part of our commitment to transparency and user safety, Etherscan strives to keep all token information on our platform accurate and up-to-date. While Etherscan team cannot update token information directly on behalf of projects, we offer support for updating token information being displayed on etherscan.io.

This guideline outlines the essential rules and submission criteria that projects must follow to ensure a smooth and effective token info update process.

The Process

The general process of updating a token page begins with submitting the required information for your token via our form here after you have verified your ownership of the token's contract address (refer: How to Verify Contract Address Ownership?) and published the source code of the token's contract address (do so here).

At the Request Type section, there are 3 types of update request available. Please refer below for what they mean and how to know which one applies to your token:

• New/First Time Token Update - This is for tokens that have never been updated before and you are looking to update it for the first time
• Existing Token Info Update - This is for tokens that have been updated before and you are looking to change/update some (or all) information of the token
• Token/Contract Migration - This is for tokens that are migrating to a new contract address and you are looking to inform us that your old token has migrated to a new address (for more information on submitting for a token migration, please refer here)

After your Token Update request is submitted, it will then be reviewed and assessed by our team before it can be updated on our website.

We carefully go through each token update request within our best capacity. Due to the large number of inquiries that we receive, it might take some time before we can get back to you. We do, however, have a premium subscription plan with a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround period for token updates. Read more on our Priority Support plan here.

The Ground Rules & Facts:

As we receive a significant amount of token update requests on a daily basis, it is imperative to us that minimal friction is encountered when reviewing the submissions so as to provide a fair and convenient experience to all token creators/developers on our platform. Hence, a few ground rules are devised:

• Token Update requests should always be submitted ONLY through our official form here. Requests submitted through other channels will not be entertained.
• DO NOT contact our team members personally through their social profiles or other channels to expedite your requests.
• DO NOT submit multiple submissions for the same contract address as this will create unnecessary backlogs and will result in a longer processing/waiting time.
• Occasionally, additional information may be requested from our team to support your submission.
• If you believe the team is taking too long to process your submission, kindly write to us in an email replying to your original submission instead of sending in a new separate email.
• Having your token updated on our website is free, but we have a paid subscription plan for urgent update requests (24hrs turnaround period). Read more here.
• If the profiles used are believed to be of impersonation or not as claimed, the submission will be rejected
• Make sure that the token name, logo, designs, symbol, and other information are not fraudulent, susceptible to copyright infringement, or are a misrepresentation of public entities or other projects
• Every submission is final and you will not be able to edit or amend any part of the submission once it has been sent.
• We reserve the right to delist/unpublish any token or project should we found any information provided by the token creator/owner inaccurate or falsely altered in any way.

Specific Criteria

Generally, it is essential that all the information provided are accessible in the sense that there are no dead links in the submission. As for the specifics, kindly refer to the points below:

1. Basic Information
This section includes the basic and general information of the project (website, official email address, description, sector, team members, logo, et al).

• Make sure the website is accessible and all links on the website are working
• The website has clear and sufficient information about the project or token
• Project/Sender's email address should be an email address created with the project's official domain (e.g.: [email protected]) or the official primary email address as shown on the website
• The token logo should be in SVG format with a 32x32 resolution OR PNG format with a 64x64 resolution. Image size/format not complying with this requirement might still be used but we will not be held responsible if the end-product does not look pleasing
• Link to download the logo must not be private (if password-protected, kindly provide us with the password in the Comment/Message field)
• The project description should be written from a neutral stance without exaggerated or comparative claims (the best, the fastest, the most used, the most stable, etc.)

2. Social Profiles / Official Channels

• Kindly provide us with the full link to the project's social media and not just the username (for example https://twitter.com/etherscan and not like this - @etherscan)
• When submitting personal LinkedIn profiles, kindly have them updated to show that the profile owner is indeed involved with the associated project

Delisting Token

We reserve the right to update, as in adding notices or labels, or delist (removing information) of a token page under our own discretion without notice. Causes or factors that could lead to this action may include:

• Inaccurate information
• Project/Token proven to have been involved in fraudulent, scam, or phishing activities
• Project/Token impersonating as other public entities or other projects
• Project/Token reported by users
• Closure of project/token operation or project is no longer active
• Any other factors that Etherscan sees liable of posing risks to the users
