Linea Token List

This repository maintains lists of ERC20 tokens available on Linea. There are two main lists each for Linea Mainnet and Linea Sepolia:

• A full list, automatically updated whenever a new token is bridged to Linea using the canonical bridge, and;
• A shortlist, which is manually curated by our team, and updated based on submitted PRs.

The information in this repository is also available in a frontend app.

If you want to add a token or validate an addition, please follow the procedures outlined below.

Add a token to the shortlist

If you represent a project with a token on Linea, it's beneficial to add it to the shortlist. Tokens on this list are reflected in the UI of the Linea canonical bridge.

Important

Before adding a new token, you must verify the token's smart contract on an explorer. This ensures the authenticity and security of the token. You can verify the smart contract through LineaScan or other tools. The same verification should be done on Ethereum L1 and Linea if necessary.

To add a new token:

1. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account, then clone your fork and create a new branch.

Example:

git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/linea-token-list.git
cd linea-token-list
git checkout -b feat/<token-name>

2. Fill out the linea-mainnet-token-shortlist.json with your token's information. Make sure you adhere to the guidelines.

Fields:

Name	Description	type	Required?
chainId	The typically used number identifier for the chain on which the token was issued	number	Mandatory
chainURI	A resolvable URI to the genesis block of the chain on which the token was issued following the RFC 3986 standard	string	Mandatory
tokenId	A resolvable URI of the token following the RFC 3986 standard to for example the deployment transaction of the token, or a DID identifying the token and its issuer	string	Mandatory
tokenType	Describes the type of token (eg: canonical-bridge, bridge-reserved, external-bridge, native), see details below.	string	Mandatory
address	Address of the token smart contract	string	Mandatory
name	Token name	string	Mandatory
symbol	Token symbol e.g. UNI	string	Mandatory
decimals	Allowed number of decimals for the listed token	integer	Mandatory
createdAt	Date and time token was created	string	Mandatory
updateAt	Date and time token was last updated	string	Mandatory
logoURI	URI or URL of the token logo following the RFC 3986 standard	string	Optional
extension	Extension to specify information about the token on its native chain if it was bridged	Array	Mandatory if the token has been bridged, otherwise optional
rootChainId	The typically used number identifier for the chain on which the token was originally issued	number	Mandatory if the token has been bridged, otherwise optional
rootChainURI	A resolvable URI to the genesis block of the root chain on which the token was originally issued following the RFC 3986 standard	string	Mandatory if the token has been bridged, otherwise optional
rootAddress	Address of the token on its native chain	string	Mandatory if the token has been bridged, otherwise optional

Token types:

• canonical-bridge: token originally on Ethereum, which has been bridged to Linea with the Linea canonical bridge (also known as the native bridge).

  These tokens are automatically added to the full list when bridged.

  Example: DAI on Ethereum Mainnet has this address 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f, after being bridged on Linea it has this address 0x4AF15ec2A0BD43Db75dd04E62FAA3B8EF36b00d5

• bridge-reserved: token reserved in the canonical bridge smart contract to prevent any bridged Linea Canonical Bridge.

  This type needs to be added manually.

  Example: USDC, WETH.

• external-bridge: token bridged on another layer (Ethereum in general) and Linea using a custom protocol bridge.

  This type needs to be added manually.

  Example: PEEL, USDC.

• native: Token first created on Linea.

  This type needs to be added manually.

  Example: WETH.

3. Commit your changes and push your branch.

Note

Only commit the list file. Do not modify the schema or the templates.

4. Go to the pull requests page and create a new PR. Make sure to set the base branch as main.

A GitHub Actions workflow will automatically verify the integrity of your JSON. If the check passes, validators will review the new list. If all the information are correct, they will approve the token addition.

In case of a failing check, refer to the error message in the Actions tab. Make necessary modifications and try again.

Happy contributing!

Guidelines

• Please ensure the completed JSON follows the schema outlined in ./json/schema/l2-token-list-schema.json.
• Make sure to add the token following alphabetical order of the symbol field.
• Update the updatedAt (and potentially createdAt) fields for the file and the token
• Update the file version:
  • Increase patch when modifying information of an existing token.
  • Increase minor when modifying adding a new token.
  • Increase major when changing the structure of the file.
