How it works:
We have connection in CMC. They can't bypass the typical listing requirements, but the service we provide is an expedited application and resubmission to get in front of a listing manager instead of waiting in the queue like all the other tokens.
When tokens apply they get sent to the back of the queue and then they're at the mercy of the normal wait time. If you are missing information or if it's denied you won't know until you've waited all that time and then you start the process again..
The quickest we've listed with this connect is about 2 hours, average being 2-3 days, of course there are some outliers (depending on the performance of the token; usual "dead" tokens wait longer)
Are you implying that there are corrupt people on Coingecko and Coinmarketcap, they have issued a strong warning to people asking for fees to get listed
CoinMarketCap listings (i.e. creation of a CMC page) are always free. Please beware of spoofed emails, fake social accounts, or individuals requesting listing fees. Anyone asking you to pay a fee or tip for getting your project listed on CoinMarketCap is definitely not sanctioned to do so. We also do not sanction any listing service to assist in the listing application of any cryptoasset project or exchange. While we gladly accept donations, attempting to bribe us in the hopes of influencing the outcome of your request will not work. CoinMarketCap reserves the right to exercise its sole discretion to blacklist any project that pays for listings services or attempts to bribe CMC employees.
