Submit Metadata

Symbiotic UI provides users with accurate and up-to-date information about various data regarding TVL, allocations, relations between Curators, Vaults, Operators and Networks, etc. However, for the mentioned counterparties to be easily accessible and visible on the UI - their metadata should should be submitted to the corresponding repositories.

Once, the metadata is submitted, it should be reviewed and merged by the Symbiotic team. After that the new data starts to be shown publicly on the UI.

Repository Structure

The repository is organized as follows:

repository/
├── vaults/
│   ├── 0x<address>/
│   │   ├── info.json
│   │   └── logo.png (optional)
├── networks/
├── operators/
├── tokens/

Each entity is identified by its Ethereum address (0x...), and its data is stored in a folder named after the address. Inside this folder, there must be a file info.json containing metadata, and optionally, an icon file logo.png.

Steps to Add a New Entity

1. Determine the entity type:
   • Decide whether the entity belongs to vaults, networks, operators, tokens or points.
   • If the entity is a vault, please be sure that it's collateral token entity is registered in the tokens folder before adding the vault metadata. If not, please add the token first.
2. Register the entity in the registry:
   • Before adding metadata for vaults, networks, or operators, ensure that they are registered in their respective registries. You can find the current registry contract addresses in the Addresses page. Unregistered entities will not be accepted.
3. Create a new folder:
   • Navigate to the appropriate directory for the entity type.
   • Create a folder named after the Ethereum address (e.g., 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678).
4. Add the info.json file:
   • Include metadata in the specified format (see below).
5. (Optional) Add an icon file:
   • If available, include a logo.png file with the entity’s logo.

Your PR will be reviewed by the Symbiotic team, and if approved, it will be merged into the repository. Please note that the PR will be reviewed only after the entity is checked with automated checks.
