How to Submit Your Token Details on BscScan or Polygonscan

If you have created your own crypto token on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) or Polygon network, you might want to update your token information on BscScan or Polygonscan, the respective blockchain explorers for these networks. Updating your token information can help you increase your token’s visibility, credibility, and usability among the crypto community.

In this blog, we will guide you through the steps to submit your token details on BscScan or Polygonscan, and explain the benefits and requirements of doing so.

Why Submit Your Token Details?

By default, when you create a token on BSC or Polygon, the token page on BscScan or Polygonscan will only show the basic on-chain data of your token, such as the token name, symbol, contract address, total supply, and holders. However, this may not be enough to attract potential users, investors, or partners to your token or project.

By submitting your token details, you can enrich your token page with more information, such as:

• Token logo: A visual representation of your token or project that can help you stand out from the crowd and build your brand identity.
• Token reputation: An indicator of your token’s trustworthiness based on the criteria specified by BscScan or Polygonscan. A higher reputation can boost your token’s credibility and reduce the risk of being flagged as a scam or phishing token.
• Token type: A technical standard of your token, such as ERC20, BEP20, or Polygon token. This can help users to identify the compatibility and functionality of your token with different wallets, platforms, or protocols.
• Owner: A label that shows the owner of the token contract address. This can help users to verify the authenticity and legitimacy of your token or project.
• Links and socials: A section that leads users to the official website, whitepaper, blog, Twitter, Telegram, or other channels of your token or project. This can help users to learn more about your token’s vision, mission, roadmap, team, partners, or community.
• Additional tools: A set of tools that can help users to interact with your token more conveniently and efficiently, such as adding your token to MetaMask, updating your token name tag or label, submitting your token burn details, reporting or flagging your token address, or adding your token to the ignore list.

What are the Rules and Guidelines?

As there are many token update requests submitted on a daily basis, BscScan and Polygonscan have devised some rules and guidelines to ensure a fair and smooth experience for all token creators and developers on their platforms. Here are some of the main points to note:

• Token update requests should always be submitted only through the official form. Requests submitted through other channels will not be entertained.
• Do not contact the 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 by the team to support your submission. If you believe the team is taking too long to process your submission, kindly write to them in an email replying to your original submission instead of sending in a new separate email.
• Having your token updated on the website is free, but there is a paid subscription plan for urgent update requests (24-hour turnaround period).
• 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.
