What determines whether a wallet shows a token logo
-
Wallets obtain logos from multiple sources: major data aggregators (CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko), chain indexers, or community-maintained asset repositories that wallets trust. Some wallets also maintain their own whitelist. So, logo visibility is determined by the wallet’s data sources and whether the token is indexed/accepted there — not directly by the token issuance tool.

Typical differences between chains
-
Solana (SPL) tokens: In many cases Solana tokens’ metadata are indexed quickly (or available on-chain), so wallets often display logos sooner.
-
Ethereum / BSC (ERC-20 / BEP-20) tokens: Wallets usually display logos once the token is included in mainstream aggregators or in asset repositories the wallet uses. That requires submitting token metadata and waiting for indexing.

How to increase the chance that a wallet will show your logo
-
Verify contract and publish project details on the block explorer.
-
Submit token data to CoinGecko / CoinMarketCap. Many wallets sync logos from these services.
-
Follow wallets’ or asset repositories’ submission guidelines (logo file format and size requirements, metadata fields). Logos are typically required in specific PNG dimensions (e.g., 128×128 or 256×256) and with transparent background or white backdrop.
-
Ensure real liquidity and market activity — indexers prioritize tokens with on-chain activity and trading history.
-
Contact the wallet team with a support ticket and provide contract, logo, and proof of listings if automated ingestion fails.
-
-
Troubleshooting if the logo doesn’t show
-
Double-check the contract address (avoid confusion with tokens that share a name).
-
Confirm your submitted logo meets the repository’s technical specs.
-
Confirm that CoinGecko / CMC (or other aggregators) have indexed your token.
-
Allow time for indexers and wallets to sync — this can take from hours to weeks.
-
If it still isn’t displayed, reach out to the wallet support with documentation (contract, logo file, proof of listing/market pairs).

-
Short conclusion
-
Solana tokens often show logos faster due to differences in indexing/metadata availability.
-
BSC/ETH tokens typically require acceptance by major aggregators or asset repositories before wallets will display logos — submit proper metadata, ensure liquidity, and contact aggregators/wallet support to improve the odds.
