# Designing Your BSKT

The second step in creating a BSKT is giving it an identity: a name, ticker symbol, description, and logo.

## Name & Ticker

Choose a name and ticker symbol for your BSKT. These will be displayed across the platform: on the Explore page, Leaderboard, and BSKT detail page.

* **Name:** A descriptive name for your basket (e.g., "DeFi Blue Chips")
* **Ticker:** A short symbol, typically 3-6 characters (e.g., "DEFI")

Names are filtered for inappropriate content. Choose something professional and descriptive that helps investors understand your strategy at a glance.

## Description

Write a brief description explaining your basket's investment thesis. What tokens does it focus on? What's the strategy? This appears on the BSKT detail page and helps investors understand your approach.

## Logo

Upload a logo image for your BSKT. This is stored on IPFS (decentralized storage) and displayed alongside your basket across the platform.

A distinctive logo helps your BSKT stand out on the Explore page and builds recognition over time.

## Metadata Storage

Your BSKT's metadata (name, ticker, description, and logo) is stored on IPFS as a JSON document. The IPFS hash is recorded on-chain as the BSKT's `tokenURI`, so the metadata is permanent and decentralized.
