If any project team want their token be listed on good exchanges, they need to make it popular and liquid
If the project team will work a lot on the project and develop it, then sooner or later the project will notice top exchanges and be invited to a free listing. I have seen this many times already.
Well, let's see how they will develop the project, at the moment everything goes gradually and smoothly, for listing you can think a little later
Now there are no problems with the listing at all, you pay any exchange and go there, but the question is different, will it work as much as you would like a token to bargain with?
