A token appears on DEX Screener the moment it has a liquidity pool. For the team behind it, the first decision usually comes soon after: the pair page shows a chart and a stream of trades, but no logo, no description and no links. DexScreener Enhanced Token Info is the paid way to fill that gap quickly, and it is worth knowing exactly what it changes. It controls how the project is presented on the pair page — the logo, the socials, the description, the wallets used to work out market cap. It does not change what the contract can do, and it is not a review of it. Traders who look past the profile ask a different set of questions, and the answers live on-chain.
How a token gets listed on DEX Screener
DEX Screener's own token listing documentation is direct: all tokens are listed automatically as soon as they are added to a liquidity pool. There is no application form and no review queue for the listing itself. A team that deploys a token and creates a pool on a supported DEX will find a pair page for it without taking any other step.
That automatic DexScreener listing is useful and indiscriminate at the same time. The mechanism that lists a serious project within minutes lists every other token that gets a pool as well, including copies of popular tickers and tokens launched to be sold off within a day. A pair page therefore tells a trader that a market exists. It does not tell them who launched the token or what its contract allows.
Where DexScreener token info comes from
The information around the chart — description, website, social links — has two possible sources. By default, DEX Screener looks for token information in external token lists, such as CoinGecko's. Once a token is present on such a list, its information is displayed on DEX Screener automatically. A team with a complete CoinGecko page will often see its links carried over without any extra step.
The second source is the team itself, through Enhanced Token Info. The documentation positions it for teams that want their token info to show up as quickly as possible, regardless of their listing status on external third-party services. For a token in its first week, that is the usual situation: a CoinGecko listing needs an active market on a tracked exchange and a review, while the pair page is already live.
What DexScreener Enhanced Token Info adds
According to the Enhanced Token Info product page, the order puts the project's logo and socials on the token page. It also lets the team present its vision, team and roadmap, and set the wallets that hold locked supply so that market cap is displayed correctly. It can be paid with crypto or a card. The page says most orders are processed within a few minutes and asks buyers to allow up to 12 hours. The price is listed on the same page; check it there before ordering rather than relying on figures repeated elsewhere.
| On the pair page | Default: from external token lists | With Enhanced Token Info |
|---|---|---|
| Logo, description, links | shown once the token is on a list such as CoinGecko's | shown once the order is processed |
| Circulating supply for market cap | self-reported figure from CoinGecko, if there is one | locked-supply wallets set by the team |
| Who supplies the information | the team, through its entry on that list | the team, through DEX Screener |
| Statement about the contract | none | none |
Every row in that table is information the team supplies about itself. That is the nature of a profile, and it is not a criticism: nobody is better placed to write a project's description or link its channels. It does mean a careful reader treats the profile the way they treat a project website — as the team's own account of the project.
Market cap and the locked-supply wallets
Market cap deserves a short detour, because it is where a profile touches a number traders actually use. The documentation gives the default as FDV = (total supply − burned supply) × price and notes that in most cases FDV and market cap are the same. For tokens that keep out-of-circulation supply in wallets instead of burning it, DEX Screener looks for a self-reported circulating supply from Enhanced Token Info or CoinGecko and uses that figure to compute market cap.
Self-reported is the operative word. When a team marks a treasury or vesting wallet as locked supply, the displayed market cap shrinks accordingly. Whether those tokens can actually move is a property of the wallet and the contract, not of the label. A vesting contract that releases on a fixed schedule, a multisig and a plain wallet controlled by one key all look the same once they are excluded from circulation. A trader who wants to know which one it is has to read the chain.
On an EVM chain, two calls with Foundry's cast answer the first part of that question for any wallet a team lists as locked:
# How many tokens does the "locked" wallet hold?
cast call $TOKEN "balanceOf(address)(uint256)" $WALLET --rpc-url $RPC
# Is it a contract or a plain wallet? "0x" means no code: a key holder can move the tokens.
cast code $WALLET --rpc-url $RPCWhat the pair page says about security
DEX Screener does surface some security information. Pair pages carry a panel with results from automated third-party scanners, together with a warning that the audits shown may not be fully accurate. The documentation also mentions third-party audit partners in the context of Boosts: tokens flagged with potential security risks are ineligible for them, and Boosts may be removed from a token flagged as malicious. The Boosting terms add that DEX Screener makes no representations or warranties regarding the security, legitimacy or performance of any tokens.
That is a sensible position for a market data site, and it leaves a gap a token team can fill. A scanner panel answers a narrow question quickly: does this contract match known bad patterns right now? An investor deciding whether to hold a token for longer than one trade asks more. Can the owner still mint new supply? On Solana, is a freeze authority still active? Where does the liquidity sit, and who can pull it? How concentrated are the holders? And when did anyone last check?
A dated security record next to the chart
Quantum Audit is an automated smart-contract security analysis platform for Web3 that reads a token's contract and its on-chain facts and publishes the result as a dated, public record. Risk score is computed by a deterministic, auditable function. Each contributing factor is recorded and reproducible across runs — same contract, same score, every time. The scoring methodology lists the factors and how each one moves the score, and every record lives on the public token security dashboard that traders check before they buy.
For a team, the step that complements a DEX Screener profile is putting the token on that record. The Founder plan puts one token on the public security record for $149 for 12 months. Ownership is confirmed before anything is published. The record carries the Verified badge with scheduled re-verification of the on-chain facts, the project's own links on the page, and a share card the team can post to its community. Verified records also appear in the dashboard's Verified view. The plan covers tokens on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon and Solana.
Verified has a precise meaning: the owner confirmed ownership and keeps the record re-verified for the plan's term. It is not a guarantee that a token is safe, it is not a review of the team, and it says nothing about the links the owner adds. The score is not for sale — re-verification can move it in either direction, on the owner's own page. That neutrality is what makes the record worth pointing investors to: anyone who opens it sees the same facts and the same score as everyone else, with the date they were last checked.
A launch-week checklist
The order below keeps the profile, the market data and the security record consistent with each other:
- One contract address everywhere. The address on the website, in the social profiles, in a CoinGecko request and in an Enhanced Token Info order should be identical. If the contract was migrated, the website should name the current address.
- Links before hype. If the pair page is live before CoinGecko lists the token, Enhanced Token Info is the faster way to get a logo and links on it; a CoinGecko page carries the same links later.
- Locked supply that can be explained. Mark wallets as locked only if their tokens genuinely cannot move, and say on the website what each of those wallets is.
- Authorities in the state investors were told. Decide before launch what happens to mint, freeze and upgrade rights, and make the on-chain state match the announcement.
- A record traders can open. Put the token on a dated public security record and share it in the community channels, so the answer to "has anyone checked this contract?" is one click away.
FAQ
How do you get listed on DEX Screener?
DEX Screener lists tokens automatically as soon as they are added to a liquidity pool on a supported DEX. There is no listing application. The pair page appears on its own; what a team controls is the information shown around the chart.
How do you update token info on DEX Screener?
By default, DEX Screener takes the description and social links from external token lists such as CoinGecko's, so a complete entry there is carried over automatically. To show token info sooner, regardless of external listing status, teams order Enhanced Token Info on the DEX Screener marketplace.
Does DexScreener Enhanced Token Info verify that a token is safe?
No. The product page describes the logo and socials, the project presentation and the locked-supply wallets used for market cap; it makes no statement about the contract. Security information on a pair page comes from third-party scanners, and DEX Screener's Boosting terms state that it makes no representations regarding the security, legitimacy or performance of any tokens.
What does a Verified record on Quantum Audit mean?
It means the token's owner confirmed ownership before publication and keeps the record re-verified on a schedule for the plan's 12-month term. It is not a guarantee of safety and not an endorsement. The score is computed the same way for every token, cannot be bought, and can move in either direction when the facts change.
