Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Advanced - Demonstrating the Steps of Listing a Crypto Token in a DEX
When it comes to listing a newly created token on a public crypto exchange like the pancakeswap decentralized exchange, there are a few processes that are involved to successfully list a token on pancakeswap.
The first thing is to copy the token contract address of our newly created token. This token contract address will be used to import the token into pancakeswap decentralized exchange.
To copy the token contract address, launch the metamask wallet and select the activity tab.
