I only searched the last pages of the thread, so the question could already have been answered: Is it planned to bring Qortal to a larger central exchange? And if so, is there a roadmap for this?

Hi! As I am aware, response is: no. Qortal will not be listed on any exchange, because our platform offers cross chain trade. Currently there is BTC-QORT pair. Very soon there will be LTC-QORT.
The Trade Portal is a completely decentralized peer-to-peer (p2p) trade platform, built inside the Qortal User Interface.

Here is additional info, from one of Crowetics podcasts: https://youtu.be/i4-bbp_gRS4
Also, there is a lot of info on: http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=the_trade_portal_-_info
To expand on marracc's response, the answer is the Qortal Team will not seek being listed on an exchange as the goal is to have a decentralized trading portal baked into the platform itself, which it already does. BTC-Qort is already live, LTC-Qort on the way as it is being tested.

With the above said, if an exchange were interested in listing Qortal, that is completely up to them and from what I understand easy to do as there is a robust api in Qortal. If you are aware of Qortal's - Qora history, you can appreciate the aversion to centralized exchanges and why Qortal is moving the direction it is.
