# Managing a Token

Every Clanker token has an Admin page on clanker.world where you claim rewards and manage the token:

`https://www.clanker.world/clanker/TOKEN_CONTRACT_ADDRESS_HERE/admin`

Anyone can open it. To make changes, connect the wallet that holds the right role. A card you can't use shows a lock line that names who can.

## Clanker v5

### Who can do what

On a v5 token, admin power belongs to the **current creator**. Each reward recipient also has a **reward admin**, who manages that recipient slot.

| Card | Who can use it |
| - | - |
| **Claim Rewards** | The reward recipient |
| **Update reward recipient** | The slot's reward admin, or the current creator for its own slot |
| **Update reward admin** | The slot's reward admin |
| **Creator rights** | The current creator, then the new creator to accept |
| **Update Token Image**, **Update Metadata**, **Rename Token** | The current creator |
| **Verify Token** | The current creator |
| **Post Announcement** | The current creator |
| **Bulk Distribute** | Any wallet that holds the token |

### Claim rewards

The **Claim Rewards** card claims the selected recipient's whole FeeEscrow balance, across all v5 tokens that pay that wallet, in the pair token (see [Unclaimed Rewards Balance](https://docs.clanker.world/general/unclaimed-rewards-balance.md)). Connect the reward recipient's wallet to claim. **Current Rewards Info** shows each recipient, its admin and its share. See [Creator Rewards & Fees](https://docs.clanker.world/general/creator-rewards-and-fees.md).

### Change reward recipients and admins

* **Update reward recipient**: the reward admin of a slot changes where that slot's rewards go. The creator's own slot is moved by the current creator.
* **Update reward admin**: the reward admin of a slot hands that role to another wallet.

Unclaimed rewards stay with the old recipient, which can still claim them from its [profile](https://www.clanker.world/profile).

### Transfer creator rights

The **Creator rights** card moves the creator role to another wallet in two steps:

1. The current creator proposes the new creator.
2. The new creator accepts in a second transaction.

The current creator can cancel a pending transfer. Accepting also moves the creator's reward recipient. To change only the recipient, use **Update reward recipient**.

### Update image and metadata

If the token was launched with editable metadata (the default), the current creator can:

* change the token image (**Update Token Image**),
* change the description and social links (**Update Metadata**),
* change the name, symbol and contract URI (**Rename Token**).

A token launched without editable metadata can't change these, and can't be verified.

### Verify the token

The **Verify Token** card gives the token the Verified badge on clanker.world. It calls the factory's `updateTokenExtraMetadata(token, "verified", "true")` from the current creator's wallet. Only the exact value `true`, written by the current creator after launch, counts. A value set at launch does not.

### Post announcements

The **Post Announcement** card posts a short update, with an optional link, to the token page. Announcements are stored on chain in the Announcement Registry and can't be edited or deleted. Holders see them in the **Announcements** card on the token page.

### Bulk distribute

**Bulk Distribute** sends the token to many wallets at once.

### With the API

`GET /api/tokens/{address}/announcements` returns a token's announcements (see [Tokens](https://docs.clanker.world/api-reference/public/tokens.md)), and `GET /api/creator-earnings/{tokenAddress}` returns its recipients' unclaimed rewards (see [Creators](https://docs.clanker.world/api-reference/public/creators.md)).

## Clanker v4 and earlier

The same Admin page manages older tokens. Depending on the version, it lets you:

* claim creator rewards,
* view the current rewards info and update the reward admin (v4),
* update the reward recipient (v2 and later),
* update the token image and metadata, verify the token and claim vaulted tokens (v3.1 and v4),
* set a new token admin (v3.1),
* claim airdrops and bulk distribute.

See the [FAQ](https://docs.clanker.world/general/faq.md) for claiming rewards on older tokens.
