Add a Currency

Instructions for getting a new cryptocurrency added to HyperDEX.

Requirements

  • The currency must be Bitcoin-compatible or ERC20-based.
  • If the currency is not ERC20-based, there must be at least 2 trusted Electrum servers for the currency. The servers should available on domains/subdomains, not IP addresses. Preferably subdomains on the official domain. Say the domain is currency.com, the Electrum servers should be at electrum1.currency.com and electrum2.currency.com. You also need to commit to keeping the Electrum servers running, and if they need to be taken down, give us due notice to make changes.

Proof

You must prove to us that the currency information is correct and that the Electrum servers are officially approved.

Examples:

Steps

  • Add the currency to https://github.com/jl777/coins. (We use this repo as the source of truth)
  • Open an issue on https://github.com/atomiclabs/cryptocurrency-icons if the currency's icon is not already there. We will make an icon for the currency.
  • When your pull request to jl777/coins has been merged, you can open a pull request on https://github.com/atomiclabs/hyperdex.
    • Add the currency info here. Note that the list is ordered alphabetically.
    • Add the block explorer here. Note that the list is ordered alphabetically.
      • It should be a URL, not an IP address. Preferably a subdomain on the official domain. So if the domain is currency.com, then it should be available on https://explorer.currency.com/tx.
      • We strongly recommend using HTTPS for the site.
    • The title of the pull request should be Add Name (SYMBOL) currency. For example, Add FooCoin (FOO) currency.
    • In the pull request description, include information about the currency, like the official website, CoinMarketCap page, Twitter, etc. Also include a link to your jl777/coins pull request. And if applicable, a link to your issue on the cryptocurrency-icons repo.
