A. Creator Name: How you choose to be identified; could be your first name, telegram/twitter handle, etc.
B. Website: A web domain for your Privacy Coin project. (e.g. myprivatecoin.co).
The website should clearly state:

- how coins will be distributed and/or can be earned,
- how coins can be redeemed, used.

The goal of the âverifiedâ badge is to help users find active Privacy Coins and to make it easy for creators to promote their Privacy Coin and connect with customers.
What does the verified badge mean?
Tokens that are ported to Incognito from an external blockchain, e.g. Bitcoin or Tether, receive a verified badge automatically. This includes all ERC20 and BEP2 tokens.
For user-created Privacy Coins, the âverifiedâ badge certifies that this coin is associated with a particular website and not a duplicate. Because Incognito allows users to create multiple Privacy Coins with the same Name and Symbol, this feature eliminates confusion and reduces the effectiveness of âscamâ tokens.
What happens if two coins of the same name request to be verified?
Verified badges are awarded on a first-created, first-served basis. That means if there are two coins with the same name, and both fulfill all the requirements of the verified badge, the one which was created first will receive it.
Can I update the âCoin infoâ screen for my Privacy Coin?
In our v3.4.8 release, we added some new fields to the âIssue a privacy coinâ workflow and an âUpdate Infoâ screen. For Privacy Coins created prior to this release, Coin info can be updated manually by the founding team. For more info, please contact @Support here at Incognito.org.
Can verified badges be removed?
Verified badges may be removed from a Privacy Coin if:
- Name, website or email address becomes invalid or is removed from Coin Info.
- TokenID is removed from the website.
- The project is found to be promoting violence, hate or illegal activities.
- At the creatorâs request.
