# How to verify a token and make it appear in Solana Explorer

A common question from token creators is: _"Why doesn't my token show up when I
search for it on Solana Explorer, and how do I get it verified?"_

The short answer: Solana Explorer does not run its own single verification
process. Instead, it **aggregates several independent verification providers**.
If your token becomes verified through **any one** of these providers, it will
surface in Explorer's search results and display verification information.

This guide explains each provider, what "verified" does (and does not) mean, and
how to get your token verified.

## What "verified" means (and what it doesn't)

Verification confirms that a token is the **canonical / correct token** for a
given name, symbol, and mint address. It helps users avoid impersonators and
duplicate tokens, since anyone can mint a token with any name on Solana.

Verification is **not** an endorsement of a project, and it is **not** a
guarantee of a token's value, safety, or legitimacy. Always do your own
research.

## The verification providers behind Solana Explorer

Solana Explorer checks the following independent verifiers. Getting picked up by
any of them (RugCheck is automatic; the others require action) makes your token
appear in Explorer search.

### 1. RugCheck (automatic)

[RugCheck](https://rugcheck.xyz) performs automated on-chain analysis and
automatically tracks tokens. Because it is automatic, you generally do not need
to submit anything — RugCheck evaluates on-chain risk signals (mint/freeze
authority, holder distribution, liquidity, etc.) and tracks the token on its
own.

There is special handling for certain stablecoins, where projects can contact
the RugCheck team directly for appropriate treatment.

Example token page:
[`rugcheck.xyz/tokens/<mint>`](https://rugcheck.xyz/tokens/EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v)

### 2. Jupiter

[Jupiter](https://jup.ag) maintains a verified token list (VRFD) that is widely
integrated across the Solana ecosystem — DEXes, wallets, and screeners. A
verified token receives a green checkmark across Jupiter products and partner
platforms.

To get verified, submit your token for review:

- Submit at [verified.jup.ag/tokens](https://verified.jup.ag/tokens)
- Anyone can submit a token (not just the project team)
- You can optionally connect the project's X account to link the token's mint
  address to a specific account
- Jupiter runs a holistic review (liquidity, metadata standards compliance, and
  other signals) rather than checking a single metric

Example token page:
[`jup.ag/tokens/<mint>`](https://jup.ag/tokens/EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v)

### 3. CoinGecko

[CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com) verification lists your token with market
data. When you verify with CoinGecko, be sure to include the token's **mint
address** (CoinGecko's form labels this the "contract address") so downstream
integrations can resolve prices correctly.

Follow the official CoinGecko listing/update guide:

- [Verification guide for listing & update requests on CoinGecko](https://support.coingecko.com/hc/en-us/articles/23725417857817-Verification-Guide-for-Listing-Update-Requests-on-CoinGecko)

Example coin page:
[`coingecko.com/en/coins/<token>`](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/usdc)

### 4. Solflare

[Solflare](https://solflare.com) is an independent validator in Solana
Explorer's verification framework. In practice its token-listing criteria
overlap heavily with Jupiter's, because Solflare's in-app swap list is powered
by the Jupiter aggregator. For a new token to appear, it typically must:

- Be a valid token on the Solana blockchain with metadata that follows the
  Metaplex Token Metadata standard
- Have sufficient liquidity (a minimum USD value of the token available for
  trading)
- Keep price impact within acceptable limits for typical swaps

Because of this overlap, tokens that complete Jupiter verification are often
already eligible on Solflare without a separate submission — so you usually do
not need to treat Solflare as an extra manual step. Once the criteria are met,
tokens usually appear within a few minutes. See:

- [I cannot find a token in Solflare](https://help.solflare.com/en/articles/9260147-i-cannot-find-a-token-in-solflare)

Example token page:
[`solflare.com/prices/<name>/<mint>`](https://www.solflare.com/prices/usd-coin/EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v/)

### 5. Bluprynt (enhanced KYC)

[Bluprynt](https://app.bluprynt.com/register/account) offers an enhanced
verification path with a KYC protocol. This is a more rigorous, identity-backed
process suitable for projects that want a stronger verification signal.

## How it all comes together

- **RugCheck** happens automatically via on-chain analysis — no submission
  needed.
- **Jupiter, CoinGecko, Solflare, and Bluprynt** each require you to submit /
  complete their respective process.
- As soon as your token is verified by **at least one** of these providers, it
  will appear in **Solana Explorer** search and show verification details.

If your token is not appearing in Explorer search yet, the fastest path is
usually to submit for Jupiter verification and/or complete a CoinGecko listing,
since both are widely integrated across the ecosystem.

## Prerequisites that help verification succeed

Regardless of the provider, these on-chain fundamentals make verification much
more likely to succeed:

- **Valid metadata**: your token should have on-chain metadata that follows the
  Metaplex Token Metadata standard (name, symbol, logo URI).
- **Liquidity**: provide enough liquidity on a supported DEX so the token can be
  traded and evaluated.
- **Correct mint address**: whenever you submit to a provider, always use your
  token's **mint address** (labeled the "contract address" in some provider
  forms).

## Summary

Solana Explorer aggregates multiple independent verifiers — **RugCheck**
(automatic), **Jupiter**, **CoinGecko**, **Solflare**, and **Bluprynt** (KYC).
Verification through any one of them makes your token discoverable in Explorer
search. Verification confirms the canonical token identity; it is not an
endorsement, so users should always do their own research.
