Need to fill in a rquest form.
Need to assess whether it's worth the effort.
Stumbling blocks in terms of assumptions of centralized organisation that are inappropriate to a decentralized cryptocurrency:
(SECTION B) Guidelines for 'Tracked Listings'
Note that these are just guidelines and meeting them does not guarantee a listing.
(1) Cryptoassets
For a cryptoasset to be considered for a tracked listing, it should meet the following guidelines:
...
Must be traded publicly, and actively traded on at least one (1) exchange (with material volume) that has tracked listing status on CoinMarketCap.
Provide a representative from the project with whom we can establish open lines of communication for any clarifications.
(SECTION C) Evaluation Framework
Beyond the guidelines, we perform our evaluation holistically and pay close attention to a multitude of factors (both quantitative and qualitative). Getting listed is therefore not simply a matter of ticking off a checklist or hitting predefined thresholds, as we benchmark submissions against others in the cohort. These factors include but are not limited to:
Community Interest & Engagement
A project’s usefulness is largely a function of adoption and its ability to foster meaningful interactions with its community and user base.
Team
The personnel, investors, and advisors are integral to the success of any given project, especially if there are transferable skills/experience/networks that can be leveraged. The conduct of the team (e.g. transparency and professionalism) will also factor into our assessment.
Circulating Supply is verified by our team through communication with the project’s team. We ask for details including but not limited to the initial distribution, private allocations, locked addresses, team-controlled addresses, and addresses containing portions of the supply allocated for future use.
We define Total Supply as the total amount of coins in existence right now, minus any coins that have been verifiably burned.
Cheers
