This repository provides a means to register off-chain token metadata that can map to on-chain identifiers (typically hashes representing asset IDs, output locking scripts, or token forging policies).
A server exposes the functionality of a key-value store, allowing users and applications to query registry entries through a RESTful API.
While this registry is limited in scope to handle native tokens only, it will also serve to facilitate a discussion and introduce a standard for a metadata distribution system that is currently put forward as a draft CIP.
Use of this registry is subject to the Registry Terms of Use.
Use of the public API is subject to the API Terms of Use.
New submissions to this registry will take the form of a GitHub Pull Request with the addition of one or more JSON files to the mappings/ folder. Submissions will be subject to automated checking for well-formedness and human vetting before being merged to the registry.
