Token & Address Verification Instructions

Verification Overview

The Aptos Explorer supports multiple verification levels to help users identify legitimate tokens and addresses. This page explains how to get your tokens and addresses verified through the official channels.

Token Verification

Important Notice

Token verification requests are handled through the Panora token list repository, not through this explorer directly.

To get your token verified on Aptos Explorer, you must be added to the community-maintained Panora token list.

1. Community Verification (Panora Token List)

Submit your token to the Panora community token list:

https://github.com/PanoraExchange/Aptos-Tokens

2. Labs Verification (Manual Process)

For special cases, tokens can be manually verified by the Aptos Labs team. This process is reserved for:

Native tokens (like APT)
Major stablecoins and established tokens
Verified Emojicoins (automatically verified)
Tokens with special significance to the Aptos ecosystem

3. Verification Levels

Native Token: Blue verified badge - Native Aptos tokens
Labs Verified: Blue verified badge - Manually verified by Aptos Labs
Community Verified: Blue outlined badge - Verified by Panora community
Recognized: Yellow warning badge - In Panora list but not verified
Unverified: Orange warning badge - Not in any verification list

Address Verification

Address verification helps users identify legitimate project addresses and avoid scams. Address verification requests are handled directly through the explorer's GitHub repository.

1. Submission Process

Security Warning

Never share private keys, seed phrases, or pay fees during the verification process. All verification processes are free and handled through official GitHub repositories.

Network Availability

Verification badges are only displayed on Mainnet. Other networks (testnet, devnet) show "No Verification" status.

Banned Assets

Assets can be marked as banned if they are identified as scams or dangerous. Banned assets display red warning badges.
