FAQ
In the permissionless world, anyone can mint a token and name it whatever they want. Verification adds a green checkmark next to your token to indicate that it is the canonical one, so that traders can find the right token easily.
Additionally, the verified token list is integrated by many partners in the ecosystem from dexes to wallets to screeners, and it helps with discoverability and credibility of your token.
We look holistically at a mix of factors including market cap, organic score, token holders, ticker uniqueness, onchain liquidity and a smart social score.
As there are thousands of new tokens created on Solana daily, we are unable to verify every single one to keep the list useful. Most commonly, tokens are not verified because it is the duplicate of another token, has low trading activity or insufficient social proof.
Verification adds a checkmark next to your token to indicate that it is the canonical one. It is not an endorsement of the project nor the team by Jupiter.
Tags are not forever. As there are thousands of tokens created on Solana daily, we periodically prune the list and remove tags from tokens with low trading activity to keep the list useful.
Jupiter kept the verified tokens list running as a free public resource for the last 4 years. It started out as a humble github repo that we maintained when the official Solana token registry was deprecated.
As the ecosystem grew and the number of tokens exploded, PRs and merge conflict nightmares to the github repo made that untenable. We experimented with a community powered system in V2 that was too slow for the number of new tokens, and a V3 system with algorithmically derived scores that was quickly gamed by projects. After much real world testing, we arrived at V4, with a mix of signals from heuristics and manual approvals.
The express lane guarantees a review within 24 - 48 hours and we recommend that you choose it when possible because of the backlog of tokens for the team to review.
The express lane guarantees your token will be prioritized for review, and approvals are still subject to our review criteria listed above.
If you believe that the reviewers missed out some context about your token and it should have been verified, please reach out to us via a support ticket at support.jup.ag and we will be right with you.

Tokens can be traded even when they are not verified, we pick up tokens as long as the token's pools have sufficient liquidity on the dexes we integrate. Tokens are prioritized by text similarity, volume and liquidity, which helps traders find the right token even when it is not verified. We also recommend that you display your token mint address prominently on your website, so your users can check that they are trading the right token.
