How to List a Token on GeckoTerminal
CoinGecko's GeckoTerminal support guidance says that a token traded on a DEX supported by GeckoTerminal should be discoverable by searching its contract address. This is on-chain market indexing, not the same as a reviewed CoinGecko listing. Teams should first verify the network, pool, liquidity, and successful trades, then search the exact address. Token information updates follow a separate route and remain subject to current criteria and review.

- A token generally needs a live market on a DEX and network supported by GeckoTerminal.
- Search the complete contract or mint address before using the symbol.
- GeckoTerminal market detection and CoinGecko coin listing are separate processes.
- Token information can be updated from the token or pool interface through the current update route.
- Conflicting project information, duplicate requests, or unverifiable links can delay or prevent metadata updates.
- A GeckoTerminal page is an indexed market record, not a security review or endorsement.
Start with a supported live market
GeckoTerminal tracks on-chain pools across supported networks and DEXes. Its support guidance says a token traded on a supported DEX should be visible when searched by contract address. A deployed token with no supported pool is not enough. Confirm that the intended network and DEX currently appear in GeckoTerminal's coverage.
Create and fund the pool through the official venue, then verify at least one successful trade and current reserves in the chain explorer. Save the pool address, token addresses, DEX program or factory, creation transaction, funding transaction, and first trades. Never give private keys or privileged contract access to a listing intermediary.
Verify token and pool identity before searching
Record the complete contract or mint address, chain, decimals, pool address, quote asset, and official project URL. Confirm the pool actually contains the intended token and a correctly identified quote asset. Names, logos, and symbols can be copied, while a contract address is specific to a network.
If multiple pools exist, distinguish the official launch pool from later or unrelated markets. Compare reserves, liquidity, age, DEX, and transactions. A higher displayed liquidity number does not by itself establish that a pool is canonical, because quote assets and valuation methods can differ.
Search GeckoTerminal by the complete contract address
Use the token's complete address in GeckoTerminal search and select the correct network. If no token result appears, search the pool address. The GeckoTerminal API also supports address-based token and pool research, including finding pools that trade a token and retrieving market data. API availability does not guarantee that every interface field is populated.
Once found, compare the displayed token, pool, quote asset, liquidity, price, volume, and transactions with the explorer. Preserve the GeckoTerminal URL and observation time. Do not announce detection as verification, approval, or confirmation that the contract is safe.
Update token information through the separate review route
CoinGecko's support instructions direct users to navigate to the token's pools, open the Token Info section, choose Update Token Info, and submit the requested information. This process concerns metadata such as project identity and links. It is separate from the on-chain pool being indexed.
Prepare a stable logo, official website, complete address, social accounts, description, and evidence that the requester represents the project. Keep the same identity across the project site, explorer, repositories, and existing data services. If the token is already listed on CoinGecko, GeckoTerminal may source information from that record, so resolve conflicts before filing another request.
- Use official domains and public social accounts.
- Submit the exact network and address.
- Avoid duplicate or conflicting update requests.
- Do not present review submission as approval.

Troubleshoot missing tokens and rejected updates
For a missing market, recheck network and DEX support, pool funding, successful trades, token and pool addresses, and the exact contract searched. New or custom DEX deployments may require separate DEX or chain coverage. Document the evidence before contacting support so the issue can be reproduced.
For a rejected information update, review the current GeckoTerminal guidance, project ownership evidence, website quality, social links, duplicate submissions, and consistency with CoinGecko. Do not repeatedly resubmit unchanged information or hire a third party that guarantees approval. Correct the public project record and submit through the official route.

Separate GeckoTerminal from CoinGecko listing
GeckoTerminal indexes DEX and DeFi market data, while CoinGecko maintains a broader reviewed aggregator record. A token can have a GeckoTerminal market page without a CoinGecko coin page. Teams should not describe one as automatic approval for the other. CoinGecko listing requirements, review, supply information, and project records follow their own current process.
Build one evidence pack that can support both workflows, but answer each form independently. Include network, address, explorer, official contacts, live pool, supply methodology, controls, allocations, and consistent links. Paid or expedited products should be documented separately from organic indexing and review.

Monitor the record after it appears
Recheck the page after metadata updates, contract changes, pool migrations, or new material markets. Compare the token's main pools and quote assets rather than promoting a single screenshot. Keep official links current and remove compromised channels quickly through the documented update route.
Use GeckoTerminal as one market-data source alongside the explorer and another independent indexer. Provider disagreement can result from coverage, timestamps, pair selection, decimals, or price routes. Record those differences instead of treating any one interface as final proof.
Make the live market discoverable by address
After verifying the pool and exact contract, submit consistent token information for Coinatio profile review and independent discovery.
Coinatio is independent from GeckoTerminal and CoinGecko. No submission guarantees listing, approval, visibility, or endorsement.
