I am new to blockchain. I really couldn't understand how to add logo to my erc20 crypto token on polygon before listing it on any coin market.
I want to add my own custom image to the circular portion. How can I change this current logo to something new and If I transfer the token to some other account, my custom logo will be displayed? Please help.
MetaMask implements the EIP-747 standard (currently unfinished in May 2022) and its wallet_watchAsset method to display custom token logo.
Mind that this is not a centralized database of logos per token address, so each MetaMask instance can theoretically display a different logo for the same token. And that users need to explicitly add the logo either manually or by confirming a MetaMask popup opened by a snippet from your web app.
Code example from MetaMask docs:
const wasAdded = await ethereum.request({
method: 'wallet_watchAsset',
params: {
type: 'ERC20', // Initially only supports ERC20, but eventually more!
options: {
address: tokenAddress, // The address that the token is at.
symbol: tokenSymbol, // A ticker symbol or shorthand, up to 5 chars.
decimals: tokenDecimals, // The number of decimals in the token
image: tokenImage, // A string url of the token logo
},
},
});
