Verify Your Token Globally

After your token graduates, you’ll want it to appear correctly across Cardano’s ecosystem — explorers, portfolio trackers, wallets, and DEX interfaces. This requires submitting your token’s metadata to the Cardano Token Registry.

​
What is the Cardano Token Registry?

The Cardano Token Registry is a public GitHub repository maintained by the Cardano Foundation. It maps token policy IDs to human-readable metadata like name, ticker, logo, and description. Once your token is listed, tools like Eternl, Lace, Taptools, and CardanoScan will display your token’s name and logo instead of a raw policy ID.

​
How to submit your token

1

Gather your token details

You’ll need:
  • Your token’s policy ID
  • Token name (as registered on-chain)
  • Ticker
  • Description (max 500 characters)
  • Logo (PNG, base64 encoded, recommended 250x250px)
  • Your token’s URL (website or social)
2

Fork the registry

Go to github.com/cardano-foundation/cardano-token-registry and fork the repository.
3

Create your entry

In the mappings/ folder, create a new JSON file named after your policy ID + asset name hex. Follow the format of existing entries in the folder.
4

Sign the submission

You’ll need to sign the entry with your token’s policy signing key to prove ownership. Instructions are in the registry’s README.
5

Open a pull request

Submit your changes as a pull request to the main repository. The Cardano Foundation reviews submissions — approval typically takes a few days to a week.
You’ll need basic familiarity with GitHub to complete this process. If you’re not comfortable with Git, ask a community member or developer for help.

​
After approval

Once your PR is merged, most Cardano tools update automatically within 24–48 hours. Your token will display its name, ticker, and logo across wallets and explorers.
