Trust and security
Trust you can check for yourself
We'd rather show you how things work than ask you to take our word for it. Here's what we verify, what's fixed when a token launches, and where you can check it independently.
What the verified tick means 
Anyone can launch a token on VestaScan. Verification is how an issuer shows investors there's a real, checked person or organisation behind it.
- Step 1
Identity checks
Issuers verify who they are as an individual, or for their organisation on plans that include it. Checks are valid for a set period and can expire or be revoked.
- Step 2
Listing review
The issuer describes the asset and provides supporting documents. Our team reviews the submission and can ask for changes before approving it.
- Step 3
The verified tick
Approved tokens show the tick in the directory and on their public page. Only verified offerings can host public discussion.
The tick confirms identity and a reviewed listing. It is not a recommendation, a rating or a guarantee of returns.
Some things can't change after launch
These are set when the token is created and are built into it, so neither the issuer nor VestaScan can quietly change them later.
- The token's name and short symbol
- Its maximum supply, if it has one
- Who can hold it: approved investors only, or anyone
- Whether the issuer can issue more, recover from holders, burn or pause
Every power an issuer kept is listed under Rules and permissions on the token's public page, so investors can see them before they invest.
Recorded on a public blockchain
Tokens on VestaScan are recorded on Ethereum and Polygon. Holdings, transfers and each token's rules are on a public record that anyone can inspect, and that doesn't depend on VestaScan staying online.

What we do
- Provide the software to create, manage and present tokens.
- Verify issuer identity and review listings that apply for verification.
- Moderate public discussion on verified offerings.
- Publish our terms and policies and keep a record of what you accepted.
What we don't do
- Give legal, tax or investment advice.
- Decide whether an offering is lawful where it's made; issuers do, with their own advisers.
- Recommend or rate offerings.
