# Verifying ownership

To add a logo to your token or add your project details to the block explorer, you will need to verify your token ownership. If you have already verified your source code, this is a great next step to attract more people to your project. When people see your token on the Block Explorer, they will know where to go for more information about your project.

### Getting Started

To begin the process, follow these steps:

#### Step 1: Go to Your Token Page

Navigate to your token page in the Block Explorer.

#### Step 3: Review the Requirements

You will see a pop-up with information about:

* Creating an account on the block explorer page
* Verifying the source code of your token

If you haven't verified your source code yet, please read our guide on verifying source code with [20lab](https://20lab.app/) first:&#x20;

### Verification Mode

After clicking "Verify Address Ownership", there are 2 possible scenarios, depending on whether the block explorer supports automatic signature verification for tokens created by smart contracts:

#### Option 1: Automatic Signature Verification

If the Block Explorer supports automatic mode, follow the Automatic Signature Verification instructions:

{% endcontent-ref %}

#### Option 2: Manual Signature Verification

If the Block Explorer does not support automatic mode and you see the "Proceed to Contact Us" button, follow the Manual Signature Verification instructions:

{% content-ref url="verifying-ownership/manual-signature-verification" %}
