README token-list

A community-maintained token list for Taho, the community-owned wallet.

The JSON schema represents the technical specification for a token list which can be used in a dApp interface, such as the Taho wallet.

The schema is based upon the uniswap token list implementation standard

What are token lists?

Uniswap Token Lists is a specification for lists of token metadata (e.g. address, decimals, ...) that can be used by any dApp interfaces that needs one or more lists of tokens.

Anyone can create and maintain a token list, as long as they follow the specification.

Specifically an instance of a token list is a JSON blob that contains a list of ERC20 token metadata for use in dApp user interfaces. Token list JSON must validate against the JSON schema in order to be used in the Uniswap Interface. Tokens on token lists, and token lists themselves, are tagged so that users can easily find tokens.

JSON Schema $id

The JSON schema ID is https://uniswap.org/tokenlist.schema.json

Taho Lists

Taho aggregates the tokens that are reputable and vetoed by using some of the lists from well establised protocols like Uniswap , Yearn, Messari and more.

The lists can be found here

The intention of the Taho list is to empower users to add tokens that the community cares about, are added to these lists slowly or that have bad metadata on other lists.

Adding a token to Taho token list

Taho is a community run DAO and welcomes contributions from anyone. If you would like to add tokens to this list, you may do the following steps:

  1. Submit an issue here using the 'add a new token' issue template.
  1. Fork this repo

git clone https://github.com/tahowallet/token-list

  1. Verify the token is not already on the list

  2. Create a branch add-[token you are adding]-token.

git checkout -b add-0xBitcoin-token

  1. Add the token/s to the desired chain in the chains folder eg 1.json for ethereum. A detailed list of chains is available here. The below example shows the ease in adding OxBitcoin token to the list
    "tokens": [
      {
        "address": "0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2",
        "chainId": 1,
        "name": "Wrapped Ether",
        "symbol": "WETH",
        "decimals": 18
      },
      {
        "address": "0xB6eD7644C69416d67B522e20bC294A9a9B405B31",
        "chainId": 1,
        "name": "0xBitcoin Token",
        "symbol": "0xBTC",
        "decimals": 8
      },
      {
        "address": "0xfC1E690f61EFd961294b3e1Ce3313fBD8aa4f85d",
        "chainId": 1,
        "name": "Aave Interest bearing DAI",
        "symbol": "aDAI",
        "decimals": 18
      }]
  1. Commit and a pull request to merge the changes into the tokenlist repo
git add .
git commit -m 'add new token'
git push --set-upstream origin add-[token you are adding]-token

Adding a token image

Although not mandatory, it is good to add a token image to have the appropriate logo appear in the Taho wallet.

The image should be in png format and should have 128 × 128 dimensions. The naming should be <tokensymbol>.png and a link to the image should be located in the token schema that you are adding. Below is an example of adding LOOKS token.

        "address": "0xf4d2888d29d722226fafa5d9b24f9164c092421e",
        "chainId": 1,
        "name": "Looks Token",
        "symbol": "LOOKS",
        "decimals": 18,
        "logoURI" : "https://github.com/tahowallet/token-list/images/looks.png"
      }
