How to Verify a BEP-20 Token on BscScan
Contract verification is essential for transparency and trust. Learn why it matters, how TokenGeneratorApp handles it automatically, and how to do it manually if needed.
Why Contract Verification Matters
In the crypto space, trust is everything. Contract verification is the single most important step you can take to build credibility for your token.
Verified Contract
- Source code publicly readable
- Anyone can audit the logic
- Proves no hidden mint or backdoors
- Green checkmark on BscScan
- Trusted by experienced traders
- Required by most DEX aggregators
Unverified Contract
- Only bytecode visible (unreadable)
- Impossible to audit
- Could contain hidden functions
- No checkmark — looks suspicious
- Avoided by experienced traders
- Major red flag for investors
How Auto-Verification Works
When you deploy a token through TokenGeneratorApp, verification is handled automatically:
You deploy the token
The smart contract bytecode is sent to BNB Chain from your wallet. The transaction is confirmed on-chain in ~3 seconds.
Source code is submitted
After deployment confirms, our system automatically submits the matching Solidity source code to BscScan's verification API.
BscScan compiles and matches
BscScan compiles the submitted source code and checks if it produces the exact same bytecode as what's deployed on-chain.
Green checkmark appears
Once matched, your contract gets a green "Verified" checkmark on BscScan. The full source code is now publicly readable.
Manual Verification Steps
If you deployed a contract outside of TokenGeneratorApp, or if auto-verification didn't complete, here's how to verify manually on BscScan:
- 1Go to bscscan.com and search for your contract address.
- 2Click the "Contract" tab, then "Verify and Publish".
- 3Select the compiler version that matches your contract (e.g., v0.8.20).
- 4Choose "Solidity (Single file)" or "Solidity (Standard JSON)" as the compiler type.
- 5Paste your complete source code or upload the Standard JSON input.
- 6If your contract uses constructor arguments, enter them in ABI-encoded format.
- 7Click "Verify and Publish". BscScan will compile and match the bytecode.
- 8If successful, your contract will show a green checkmark.
Frequently Asked Questions
A verified contract means the Solidity source code has been uploaded to BscScan and confirmed to compile to the exact same bytecode that is deployed on-chain. This proves the source code is genuine and lets anyone read exactly what the contract does.
Yes. Every token deployed through TokenGeneratorApp is automatically verified on BscScan. You don't need to do anything manually — the verification happens as part of the deployment process.
Verification means the code is readable, not that it's safe. However, readable code can be audited by anyone. With TokenGeneratorApp, our contracts are based on OpenZeppelin v5 — the most audited library in the industry — so the code is both readable and trustworthy.
In rare cases, BscScan verification may experience temporary issues. If this happens, you can verify manually using the steps outlined on this page. Your token is still fully functional even without verification — it's just that the source code won't be publicly readable on BscScan.
Go to BscScan, search for your contract address, and click the "Contract" tab. If you see source code with a green checkmark, it's verified. If you see only bytecode (hex characters), it's not verified.
No. BscScan contract verification is completely free. When you deploy through TokenGeneratorApp, verification is included at no extra cost.
