How to list your token on Zonda

The Zonda team always attentively analyzes each token project before welcoming it on their platform. To conduct careful research they need to get detailed information from project teams to estimate the feasibility of listing their coins.

To make a decision on that, Zonda considers such data as coin market cap, project’s whitepaper, source code, and token technical parameters. Also, if you are interested in listing on Zonda, you will be asked to share your plans for future project development and the strategy that you apply for solving non-technical and technical issues related to your coin.

For the convenience of teams who want to submit their applications, Zonda provides a standardized form that can be filled in online on their official website. Submitted tokens will be presented for community voting. Those projects that will get the most votes will have the possibility to be listed on the platform fully for free. Moreover, Zonda promises to provide full-scale promotional support to attract the attention of its users to the newly listed coins.

Listing requirements 

When you apply for a listing on centralized exchanges, the legal team will examine your documentation, which usually includes the certificate of incorporation, legal id of team members, whitepaper, etc. In certain cases (like stable coins), they may require additional documents. You will be asked to provide key information about your token, team, and community. This information should persuade the exchange team that your token will be successful after listing. Take the time to do it well.

The project review consists of several key points:

1. Project Introduction: The token issuer should write a short summary of what the project does or fill out a form providing necessary project details and information for review by the exchange’s team.
2. Token Overview: This includes chain type (BSC, ERC, TRC, etc.), blockchain explorer, smart contract address, use of token, etc.
3. Token Economics and Fundraising: You will be asked to provide information about token distribution, token unlock schedule, or conducted token sales. 
4. Marketing Strategy and Community: To check the user engagement and quality of business partnerships, the exchange will check community hubs with their main geographies. They check the website, Twitter, and Telegram channels, including the number of followers and likes per post. Projects should also introduce strategic partnerships with expected results.
5. Project Team: Introduce your team members with bio descriptions of the Founder/CEO and core members, including Linkedin profile links..
6. Listing Plan: Outline your plan for listing the token. If it’s not your debut, you’ll need to provide the exchange team with information on your existing markets and trading volumes on them. 
7. Market Maker: You must specify a market maker who works with you and provides initial liquidity during the listing.
