ERC20 not recognized by TokenTracker

Question

I have deployed ERC20 with reference to

// File: openzeppelin- zos/contracts/token/ERC20/DetailedMintableToken.sol

I called the initialized function with owner, name, symbol and decimal value. Everything went fine as I verified the parameters after deploying in Rinkeby Network. But when I checked the contract in Explorer it just showed as a normal contract, I was expecting it to show as an ERC20 contract. for eg:

this is the contract I deployed ,without explorer detecting it as erc

and this is what i was expecting my contract to be displayed like

reference Rinkeby address1: 0x5238fFeAEdfc9481bd635B6E0e5eF3b05b19762a

reference Rinkeby address2: 0x6e00e5bd453a6a5cf6eaa9d91f29de981730edfc

Answer 1

Etherscan will recognize your contract once it will log its first Transfer event. This is how it works. Though, even before the first Transfer event was logged, you may view your contract in token tracker: https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/tokens?q=0x5238fFeAEdfc9481bd635B6E0e5eF3b05b19762a

Answer 2

You need to send the tokens at least once first. Otherwise this will not work. Etherscan only recognises a contract as an token after its first Transfer event.

After sending the tokens once it should work perfectly!
