Add Extended CW20 Token Info
You can enhance your CW20 token with rich metadata such as website, social links, full description, images, and legal/audit info — stored off-chain and referenced from marketing_info.project in your smart contract.
Note: Axiome Wallet and Explorer will support rendering this extended metadata in upcoming releases. Stay tuned to official update channels for announcements.
Step 1: Prepare Extended Metadata
The extended metadata must be stored as a JSON file hosted on a publicly accessible URL. The URL will be placed in the CW20 marketing_info.project field with SHA-256 checksum verification to ensure data integrity.
JSON Format Specification
Here is the approved format of the metadata file:
{
"version": "1.0",
"name": "MyToken",
"symbol": "MTK",
"website": "https://mytoken.example.com",
"description": {
"format": "markdown",
"image_url": "https://mytoken.example.com/images/logo-large.png",
"video_url": "https://www.youtube.com/@axiome_ru",
"content": "Full token description in markdown or plain text, no more then 60k symbols..."
},
"socials": {
"X (ex. Twitter)": "https://twitter.com/mytoken",
"Telegram": "https://t.me/mytokenchat",
"Discord": "https://discord.gg/mytoken",
"GitHub": "https://github.com/mytoken"
},
"legal": {
"terms_url": "https://mytoken.example.com/terms",
"privacy_url": "https://mytoken.example.com/privacy"
},
"audit": [
{
"provider": "Certik",
"url": "https://certik.com/projects/mytoken",
"date": "2024-12-01"
}
],
"contacts": {
"email": "[email protected]",
"support_url": "https://mytoken.example.com/support"
}
}Notes:
description.formatmust be either"markdown"or"text"any fields except
version,name,symbolcan be set tonullif not usedsocialscan include any keys (e.g., TikTok, Instagram, etc.)
Step 2: Calculate SHA-256
To ensure the metadata has not been tampered with, calculate its SHA-256 checksum (of the raw file content).
On Linux/macOS:
On Windows (PowerShell):
Suppose the result is:
Step 3: Upload Project Info to the Contract
CW20 contracts support setting marketing_info.project with a URL that includes the sha256sum as a query parameter.
Example axmd TX to set the project info:
Replace:
<contract_address>— with the CW20 contract address<your_wallet_name>— with your wallet (keyring) name
Done!
Once the transaction is confirmed, your token will have a verifiable extended metadata link accessible via marketing_info.project.
Axiome Wallet, Axiome Explorer, and dApps can parse this JSON and render:
Full token details
Social links
Brand image/video
