How-to Add Logo & Update Token Information on Ethereum
How to add logo to token

After you created a token, you may want to update your token information in the token page on block explorers such as adding a logo, social media links, and more. 

Keep in mind that updating token information is a process carried out independently of Token Tool by Bitbond. It is completed via the selected network’s support team.

What you need to update token information

  1. An account on the block explorer of the token’s network
  2. Token contract address
  3. Access to the wallet owning the token contract address
  4. The contract has to be “Exact Match Verified” on the block explorer

To check if a token is verified, look for a green check mark on the contract tab of your token in the block explorer. Here is an example of a token that is exact match verified: https://etherscan.io/address/0x60a2db64df7920fc1154ed077393e376f436715b#code.
If it’s not verified and you created your token using Token Tool, simply click the “Verify Button” via the Manage Token function

Look for the green check mark under  the contract tab of your token to check if your source code is verified on the block explorer.

The process for updating token information is generally similar on most networks. Some networks have slight differences. This guide will describe the process of adding a logo to your token and updating your ERC-20 token information on Ethereum.

How to add a logo token and update information on Ethereum

To add a logo to your token and update your token information on Etherscan, you must prove token ownership.

Simply go to your token page on Etherscan, then click on Edit or Update under the “Profile Summary” section of the token.
