elethcoin / tags

A tag can really be anything. It unites multiple tokens with similar qualities into one set. Here you can find list of tags we use at DexGuru

Overview

DexGuru uses token lists in this repository to group tokens by tags. Check out the visual representation at https://dex.guru/tokens. Each JSON file represents a single tag(or multiple related tags, eg. Stablecoins and Stablecoins on Ethereum) and is a list of publicly sourced tokens. Anyone is welcome to add new tokens and new tags.

Keep in mind, this is NOT investment advice, a stamp of approval, or any kind of recommendation.
