    "website": "https://paxos.com/busd",
    "description": "BUSD is a stablecoin issued by Paxos in partnership with Binance.",
    "explorer": "https://bscscan.com/token/0xe9e7CEA3DedcA5984780Bafc599bD69ADd087D56",
    "research": "https://research.binance.com/en/projects/binance-usd",

    "id": "0xe9e7CEA3DedcA5984780Bafc599bD69ADd087D56"
}

  1. Fill up all the necessary information for the token and then save it.
  2. The change will immediately be reflected on GitHub Desktop. If you have not done it yet, create a new branch in order to submit a Pull Request.
  3. Provide all required information then click on Commit to “created branch on Step 7. Afterwards, click on Publish branch.
  4. Next, click on “Create Pull Request”.
  5. You will be automatically redirected to the asset repo on your browser. Submit the Pull Request by clicking on “Create pull request”. All done.

How to get Approved?

  1. Fees are paid in BNB or TWT.
  2. Project has a website or white paper.
  3. Has a social media presence.
  4. Minimum 2500 token holders and 5,000 transactions (Airdrop tokens excluded**).

** Important:
It has come to our attention that some projects are trying to get their tokens added to the Asset database by airdropping tokens to several addresses in order to meet token holder count as well as the transaction requirements. Random airdrops to unsuspecting users is not allowed. We want our users to get tokens that they are expecting to receive and not those tokens that they didn’t signed up for.

We will implement stringent screening of submissions and also disable such tokens from showing on the app.

Disclaimer
Trust Wallet team allows anyone to submit new assets to this repository. However, this does not mean that we are in direct partnership with all of the projects.

Trust Wallet team will reject projects that are deemed as scam or fraudulent after careful review. Trust Wallet team reserves the right to change the terms of asset submissions at any time due to changing market conditions, risk of fraud, or any other factors we deem relevant.

When Will The Information be Updated?

A maintainer will merge the pull request after further verification. This will be done as soon as possible. There will be notification emails sent to the one who submitted the pull request if there is anything needed or errors need to be corrected.
Once the pull request has been merged, the token information will be shown on the Trust Wallet app. However, this will take some time while the asset is being added to the repo.
