Why Token Metadata Matters
When a trader sees your token in their wallet or on a DEX, they see three things: name, symbol, and logo. Without a logo, your token displays a grey placeholder circle or a generic question mark icon. Without a website and social links, there's no way to verify the project is real.
Metadata that traders look for before buying:
- Logo — visual credibility; a missing logo is an immediate red flag
- Website — proves the project has a presence beyond the token contract
- Twitter/X — active social media shows the project is alive
- Telegram or Discord — community presence; rug pulls typically don't build communities
- Description — a one-line explanation of what the token is for
This metadata also feeds into CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap submissions — both platforms pull token information from Blockscout when evaluating listing applications.
What You Need
- Your token contract address on Robinhood Chain
- The owner wallet (the wallet that deployed the token) — you'll need to sign a message with it
- A logo file — PNG preferred, 200×200px minimum, square aspect ratio
- A publicly accessible logo URL — host it on GitHub, IPFS, or a CDN so Blockscout can fetch it
- Your website URL and social media links
Logo hosting tip: Upload your logo to a GitHub repository and use the raw file URL (raw.githubusercontent.com/...). GitHub raw URLs are stable, fast, and free — they don't require a paid CDN or IPFS pin.
Step-by-Step via Blockscout
Step 1 — Find your token on Blockscout: Go to robinhoodchain.blockscout.com and paste your token contract address into the search bar. Click on the token result to open your token's page.
Step 2 — Click "Update token information": Look for the "Update token information" button on your token's page (usually near the token name/symbol). If you don't see it, ensure you're viewing the correct token page (not a transaction or address).
Step 3 — Fill in the metadata form: You'll see a form with fields for logo URL, name, symbol, decimals, description, website, and social links. Fill in each applicable field. At minimum, fill the logo URL, name, and at least one social link.
Step 4 — Sign the ownership verification: Blockscout requires you to sign a message with the token's owner wallet to prove you have the right to update the metadata. This is a signature, not a transaction — it costs no gas. Use the owner wallet to sign the message shown on screen.
Step 5 — Submit and wait for review: After signing, submit the form. Blockscout reviews metadata submissions, typically within 24-48 hours. Once approved, your logo and links will appear on your token's page, in wallets that pull from Blockscout, and in tracking sites.
Metadata Fields Explained
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Logo URL | Direct link to a PNG or JPG image. Must be publicly accessible. Square, minimum 200×200px. |
| Name | Your token's full name. Should match what's in the contract. |
| Symbol | The ticker. Should match the contract. |
| Decimals | Usually 18. Should match the contract value. |
| Description | One to three sentences describing the token's purpose. Keep it factual and concise. |
| Website | Full URL including https://. Should be a live, functional page. |
| Twitter/X | Your project's Twitter/X handle (e.g., @yourproject). |
| Telegram | The t.me link to your Telegram group or channel. |
| GitHub | Optional. Link to your project's source code repository. |
| Discord | Optional. Invite link to your Discord server. |
Common Errors
- "Logo URL not accessible": Your logo URL must return the image directly, not a download page. Test by pasting the URL in a browser — you should see the image, not a download prompt.
- "Unable to verify ownership": You must sign with the wallet that originally deployed the token contract. If you used a different wallet to deploy, you can't update metadata unless the ownership was transferred.
- "Form not appearing": Ensure your token contract is listed on Blockscout. If the contract isn't indexed, wait a few minutes and search again. Very new tokens may take time to appear.
- "Logo not showing in wallet": Some wallets pull token images on their own schedule. After Blockscout approves your metadata, it may take 24-48 hours for the logo to appear in MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
- Trying to use Etherscan: Etherscan is Ethereum mainnet only. It does not support Robinhood Chain. Always use robinhoodchain.blockscout.com for any token operations on Robinhood Chain.
The No-Code Alternative
If you haven't deployed your token yet, the easiest path is to add your metadata during the initial token creation. CreateMyCoin's Robinhood Chain token creator lets you enter your logo URL, website, and social links as part of the deployment flow — so your token launches with metadata already attached.
This avoids the Blockscout submission process entirely, since the metadata is written as part of the deployment transaction. Your token appears with a logo in wallets and on tracking sites from the moment the contract is deployed.
"The 5 minutes you spend adding metadata pays off every time a potential buyer checks your token page. It's the lowest-effort trust signal you can give."
FAQ
Where do I add my token logo on Robinhood Chain?
Go to your token's page on Blockscout (robinhoodchain.blockscout.com), click "Update token information," fill in the logo URL and other fields, and sign with the owner wallet.
Does Etherscan support Robinhood Chain tokens?
No. Etherscan is specific to Ethereum mainnet. Use robinhoodchain.blockscout.com for all contract verification and metadata submission on Robinhood Chain.
What image format and size does Blockscout require for token logos?
Blockscout accepts PNG or JPG logos. Recommended size is 200×200 pixels or larger, square aspect ratio. Transparent PNG works best for logos on dark backgrounds.
Can I update token metadata after it has been submitted?
Yes. Return to your token's page on Blockscout and repeat the "Update token information" process. The new submission will replace the old one after review.
