# Verifying source code

### What is Verification?

<figure><img src="/files/4Zw4youCL5XGXJMID8uA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Verification is a simple process where the complete source code used to build your token is made public. This lets anyone on the internet see what's inside your token: what functions it has, how they work, and confirm that the token is secure.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Verification is not available for Testnet tokens.
{% endhint %}

### Step-by-Step Verification Process

To verify an ERC-20 token on a block explorer (e.g. on Bscscan), you need to follow these steps:

1. Go to the [Dashboard page on 20lab.app](https://20lab.app/dashboard/)
2. Locate the token you want to verify in your dashboard

3. Click on your token to open it in the dashboard. You'll see the verification panel below the blockchain information.

4. Select one of the 2 available verification options:

<table><thead><tr><th width="157.33333333333331">Method</th><th>Verify with 20lab label</th><th>Verify with your label</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td></td><td>At the top of the verified token, there will be additional information showing that the token was generated on 20lab.</td><td>There will be no mention of 20lab at the top of the verified token. You can put whatever you want there, such as your project information.</td></tr><tr><td>Automatic verification</td><td>Yes </td><td>Yes</td></tr><tr><td>Manual verification</td><td>No</td><td>Yes</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** On some blockchains where automatic verification is not supported by block explorers, only manual verification mode is available with the "Verify with your label" option.
