Solana Foundation open-sources tokens directory and API for verified assets

The Solana Foundation just made the entire codebase behind its verified tokens directory publicly available on GitHub. The repository, which powers tokens.xyz, serves as the canonical source for curated digital asset data on the Solana blockchain. What actually shipped The repository, hosted at github.com/solana-foundation/tokens, contains everything needed to run the tokens.xyz platform.

One important distinction: this isn’t an exhaustive list of every token ever minted on Solana. The directory focuses on “canonical assets,” meaning curated, verified entries. Why open-sourcing matters here By open-sourcing the codebase, the Solana Foundation is making a few implicit promises. First, anyone can inspect how verification decisions are made. Second, developers can self-host the ...
