How to ensure ERC-20 tokens show in Coinbase Wallet as a token issuer

This page is intended for developers that will or have recently deployed ERC-20 token contracts on Base Mainnet and would like their token details to display as quickly as possible on Coinbase Wallet.

Coinbase Wallet makes any ERC-20 token instantly available for swapping seconds from when the contract is deployed.

Follow the instructions below to ensure your token logo, asset name, and other metadata also appear on Coinbase Wallet.


Adding your token to the list

The steps below explain how to have your token display quickly on Coinbase Wallet. These instructions work not only for Base, but for any EVM chain supported by Coinbase Wallet (Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, BNB).

Step 1: Deploy your ERC-20 Token on Base Mainnet

Write and deploy a compliant ERC-20 token smart contract. Test it and then deploy on Base Mainnet. If you’re not a developer, you can use available token launcher tools in the Base ecosystem.

Step 2: Prepare your metadata and asset images

Prepare a high-resolution image of your token’s logo. Ensure it is clear, identifiable, and representative of your token.

Step 3: List your cryptocurrency on a listing aggregator

You can list for free on CoinGecko following these instructions

You can pay to be listed on CoinMarketCap following these instructions.

Remember, once your ERC-20 contract is deployed, your asset will immediately be available for native swapping in Coinbase Wallet.

However, you’ll still need to list your token on Birdeye, CoinGecko, or CoinMarketCap for the asset’s logo and other metadata to flow into Coinbase Wallet and be seen by users. It can take 24-48 hours for metadata changes to update.

Why does my token display in the “Newer tokens” section in the swap flow?

Tokens that are newly launched and haven’t had significant trading volume appear in the newer token section. Once your token reaches a market cap of at least $1M it will no longer be displayed in this section.

How can I update my token logo or description?

ERC20 metadata can be updated quickly and easily by navigating to the asset’s page on the Coinbase Wallet desktop site (wallet.coinbase.com). Note that any changes you make there will be reflected on Coinbase Wallet only (desktop and mobile).

Step 1: Search for your token on wallet.coinbase.com

Step 2: Scroll to the bottom and click “Update here”

Step 3: Select your logo image or enter the description you want to show

Step 4: Choose the address you want to submit with and click submit

Step 5: Submissions will be reviewed within 5 business days. To expedite approval, we recommend taking the following steps:

  1. Make a post from your official X or Warpcast account documenting the change. The Coinbase Wallet team may reach out to you if they have questions.

  2. Submit the change with the same deployed address that the token contract was deployed with.
