Ready to make your Ethereum or BSC token stand out from the crowd? Let's give it a face that your community will recognize and love! In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of adding your logo to your token on Etherscan or BSCScan, making it visible across various platforms like Trust Wallet, MetaMask, and more.
Haven't Created Your Token Yet?
Before adding a logo, you'll need a token! Create your custom token on Ethereum or BSC in minutes with our user-friendly token creator.
Step 1: Prepare Your Perfect Logo 🖼️
First things first - let's get your logo looking just right! Your token's logo is its digital face in the crypto world, so let's make it shine:
- Format: PNG format (transparent background recommended)
- Size: 32x32 pixels (perfect for wallet displays)
- File size: Keep it under 100KB
- Quality: Clear and recognizable even at small sizes
Pro Tip: Create a simple, memorable design that looks good both in light and dark modes. Your logo will be displayed in various sizes across different platforms!
Step 2: Navigate to the Block Explorer 🔍
Time to get your logo out there! Head over to the appropriate block explorer where your token lives:
- Visit Etherscan for Ethereum tokens or BSCScan for BSC tokens
- Connect your wallet (make sure it's the one that created or owns the token)
- Search for your token using its contract address
Step 3: Update Your Token's Profile 📝
Found your token? Great! Now let's give it some personality:
- Look for the "Update Token Info" button (usually near the token details)
- Click on "Social Profiles" or "Token Information"
- You'll need to fill out some basic information:
- Official website (if you have one)
- Social media links (optional but recommended)
- Project description (make it count!)
- Logo URL (this is where your prepared image comes in)
Important: Your logo must be hosted on a reliable, permanent URL. Consider using IPFS or a similar decentralized storage solution for maximum reliability.
Step 4: Submit and Wait ⏳
Almost there! After submitting your information:
- The block explorer team will review your submission (usually takes 3-7 days)
- Keep an eye on your email for any update requests
- Once approved, your logo will automatically appear on Etherscan/BSCScan
- Other platforms (Trust Wallet, MetaMask, etc.) will gradually pick up the update
Troubleshooting Tips 🛠️
- If your submission is rejected, carefully read the feedback and try again
- Make sure your logo meets all size and format requirements
- Verify that you're using a permanent, accessible URL for your logo
- Double-check that you're the token owner or have appropriate permissions
