Editing Your Profile on The Grid

This article covers how to claim your company's profile on The Grid, from sign-up to onboarding call, in a step-by-step process.

This is a practical walkthrough of the network portal: where to find things, what to click, and what each field expects.

If you're looking to understand why the profile is structured the way it is and how the different sections connect, see Key Notes About Lenses

This guide walks you through the key sections of your profile and how to edit them.


Accessing Your Profile

  1. Go to network.thegrid.id and sign in with your business email.

  2. You'll land on your organization's dashboard, where you can view and edit all profile sections.

Note: Your email must match your organization's official domain. If your colleague has already claimed the profile, anyone with a matching email domain gets automatic access, for now.


The Four Lenses

Your profile is organized into multiple lenses. Each one plays a role in how your project is represented across The Grid's network.

1. Profile Information (Left Panel)

When you open your profile, on the left panel, you'll find the core identity fields for your profile:

  • Profile Name: Your organization's display name as it appears across The Grid.

  • Profile Type: The type of entity (e.g., Company, DAO).

  • Profile Sector: The industry your organization operates in (e.g., Payments, Finance, Infrastructure, Gaming).

  • Profile Status: Your current operational status (e.g., Active, Announced).

  • Founding Date: When your organization was founded.

  • Short Description: A concise summary of what your organization does. This is used across directories and partner listings.

  • Long Description: A more detailed explanation of your organization, products, and services.

  • Marketing Description: An optional marketing-focused description for promotional contexts.

  • Tagline: A brief tagline

Tip: Keep your Short Description factual and concise, it's the one that appears most often across partner integrations. Avoid marketing fluff here; save that for the Marketing Description field.

2. Products

Click Add Product to create a new product, or click on an existing product name to edit it.

On the left panel of your product page, you'll find the core identity fields for your product:

  • Product Name: The product name

  • Product Type: Product classification (e.g., On/Off Ramp, Wallet, DEX)

  • Product Status: Current status (e.g., Beta, Live, etc.)

  • Launch Date: When was the product launched

  • Description — What the product does

  • Is Main?: Whether this is your primary product (Yes/No)

  • Media: Product-specific branding assets. When uploading, select the correct Media type from the dropdown, same as the profile media section

  • Socials: Product-level social accounts

Product & Asset Support

  • Product Deployments: Where the product is deployed (chain, type, asset standard)

  • Products Support: Bidirectional relationship mapping:

    • "This product uses": Other products/chains your product depends on (grouped by type, e.g., L1, L2)

    • "This product is used by": Other products that use your product

  • Related Assets: Assets connected to this product, with Support Type (e.g., "Supported by"), Asset Type, and Asset Status. Use Add or Bulk Edit.

Why this matters: The Products Support and Related Assets sections create bidirectional relationships. When you add the Solana chain or USDT as a related asset, your product automatically appears in those ecosystem directories. The more complete these are, the more discoverable you become.

3. Assets

The Assets section tracks any tokens or digital assets your project has issued.

On the left panel of your asset page, you'll find the core identity fields for your asset:

  • Asset Name: The asset name

  • Ticker: The ticker of the asset without the "$" sign

  • Asset Type: Asset classification (e.g., Native, Utility)

  • Asset Status: Current status (e.g., Active, Inactive, etc.)

  • Description: What you can do with the asset

On the right panel inside the asset editor:

  • URLs: Asset-specific links

  • Asset Deployments: Where the asset lives onchain: Deployed On (e.g., Solana Mainnet), Type (e.g., Mint), Asset Standard (e.g., SPL, ERC-20)

  • Smart Contracts: The actual on-chain addresses: Name, Address, Deployment Date. Click + Add row to add more.

  • Derivative Assets: Assets that are derived from this one (e.g., wrapped versions, liquid staking tokens). Shows Derivative Asset, Ticker, Type, and Status. Click Add to link a derivative.

  • Base Assets: The inverse of a derivative asset; if this asset is a derivative, link to the original base asset here. Shows Base Asset, Ticker, Type, and Status. Click Add to link a base asset.

  • Related to Products: Products that use or manage this asset. Shows Product, Support Type (e.g., "Managed by", "Supported by"), Product Type (e.g., Stablecoin Issuance), and Product Status. Click Add or Bulk Edit to manage relationships.

Click Add Asset to create a new asset. See the How to Map Deployments article for details on adding smart contract addresses and chain deployments to your assets.

4. Entities

The Entities section covers the legal and corporate structure behind your profile. The table shows Name, Type, Country, and Address.

Click Add Entity to create a new one, or click an existing entity to edit. The entity editor includes:

  • Entity Name: Full legal name (e.g., "BONBYTE TECHNOLOGY sp. z o.o.")

  • Trade Name: The name your company trades under

  • Entity Type: Classification (e.g., Startup, Foundation, Corporation, DAO)

  • Local Registration Number: Your local company registration number

  • Tax Identification Number: Tax ID if applicable

  • Address: Registered address

  • LEI Number: Legal Entity Identifier (if applicable)

  • Country: Country of registration

  • Date of Incorporation: When the entity was legally formed

  • URLs: Entity-specific URLs (with Type label "Entity")

  • Socials: Entity-level social accounts


Shared Sections

1. URLs

URLs appear at the profile level and inside each product, asset, and entity. Each URL has a Type label:

  • Main: Your primary website

  • Documentation: Technical docs, API references, or Tokenomics

  • Product: Product-specific page (inside product editor)

  • Asset Info: Asset-specific page (inside asset editor)

  • Entity: Entity-specific page (inside entity editor)

  • Extra source: Any additional relevant links (Linktree, terms of use, etc.)

Click + Add row to add more URLs, and use the edit icon to change an existing URL or its type.

2. Media / Branding

Media appears at the profile level and inside each product & asset. To upload, select a file and choose the correct Media type from the dropdown:

  • Logo on white: Full rectangle logo (wordmark + icon) for white/light backgrounds. Preferably SVG. If PNG, minimum 256px height.

  • Logo on black: Full rectangle logo for dark backgrounds. Preferably SVG. If PNG, minimum 256px height.

  • Icon: A square profile icon with a white background, in full colour. Preferably SVG or PNG. If PNG, minimum 256px height.

  • Header: A header banner image. Should be PNG, 1500px × 500px.

Important: Make sure your icons have a white background.

Transparent icons cause display issues across partner platforms. The icon is the most-used asset as it appears in search results, directories, and wallet listings everywhere.

3. Socials

Socials appear at the profile level and inside each product, asset, and entity. Each entry shows:

  • Social Name: Your handle as it is (eg, SolanaFndn or OfficialTether)

  • Social Type: Platform (e.g, Telegram, Twitter / X, LinkedIn)

  • Social Status: Whether the account is Active or Inactive

  • URL: Direct link to the account

Click Add Social to add a new account.

Tip: Keep these up to date; outdated social links are one of the most common issues we see during onboarding.


How Edits Work

  • For Profile Info edits, you need to click on the Edit Profile button to save your progress, same for Products, Assets, and Entities.

  • All edits on the right panel of the screen get saved automatically.

  • All changes are tracked. Every edit is logged with a full audit trail: who changed what, and when. This creates accountability and lets you review your profile's data history.

  • Changes go through review. When you submit edits, they go through a validation process before going live. This typically takes 2–3 business days.

  • Your data syncs everywhere. Once approved, your updates push automatically to all connected ecosystems: wallets, explorers, exchanges, and directories.


Common Things to Check

Based on our experience, here are the most common areas to review:

  • Product supports: Make sure you've added all the chains your products use (L1s and L2s) and the assets they support. Each one is a new discovery pathway.

  • Related assets: If your product supports USDT or USDC, add those relationships so you show up in stablecoin directories.

  • Social links: Verify all links are current and pointing to active accounts.

  • Descriptions: Keep the Short Description concise and factual. Use the Marketing Description for promotional language.

  • Branding assets: Use high-resolution images. Icons should be square, full color, and with a white background. Headers should be 1500×500px.
