It's always for the best interest of the project if they use top exchanges to raise fund, there will be better results

1. Enough money for future developments
2. High trading volumes and enough liquidity
3. Exposure to more investors and whales and even traders

what more can a project team want?

This is why I've Zero my mind that serious projects will always aim for top exchanges, the results are already clear as crystal

not a bad idea and strong points noted there but not to forget, most of this projects often come in different sizes, talking about finances. the  points stated are true but not all projects can be onboarded on an exchanger but that doesn't mean the projects aren't real.

Simple answer: not to focus only on the coin developement.
The coin should be backed by a strong vision, who must lead to provide the product in a reasonnable expected time. A strong team should also be aware that Whales and traders are not to be fully trusted from the vision of long term improvement, this is why the value of the token should be determined by its usefulness and not by the number of holders. Same thing applies to exchanges who won't really care if the project reach its goals or not, it's the main responsability of the team behind the project .

The things you write about are already known by the legendaries in this forum, they already know which projects are serious and which projects are not serious when developed, but what you say is also very good, because it will be able to help the newbie still lacking in experience.

Every investor and trader want profit from investment, all they need to prove is that the idea can bring good profit both on the short and longterm. Bitcoin is the only coin that did not have the opportunity to raise fund for ICO, assure and  encourage investors of good turn out in the future. Coin in the market had risen over 7000 but not all will give a good ride if the fundamentals is good 

A good example of strong project teams are those who are staying on top of the leader-boards. This means that they still took care of their platform and continued to deliver their promise after a successful ICO.

The likes of ETH, NEM, Litecoin, etc. and their teams are very admireable and should be the role models for startup projects to learn how to handle management. This is also why I'm all in with any projects they're launching underneath their brand, an example is NEM's XYM (https://medium.com/@chrlmztt/symbol-from-nem-a-reliable-blockchain-for-real-use-cases-51843e5214c8). I'm holding my bag with XEM's preparing for their 1:1 airdrop in Q4.

True that every exchanges deserve a top project likewise projects deserves a top exchanges. But in reality, not every exchanges can be a top one, while not all projects can afford a top exchange.

For every good project there is a solid exchange platform to help it grow, have a good ieo and respectful volume. If the project is ready to work hard and be patient with listing,, there are more than enough good exchanges around.

I like the last line and it is just the simple truth. Most project team looks for excuses to justify their listing on bad exchanges while knowing fully well those exchanges will not contribute to their growth, thus making me to understand that these team actually knows what they are doing and of course also shows they aren't serious but only cares for their own pocket. Lastly, it is not a certainty that every project should start their first listing on top exchanges but there are other good exchanges like Probit which tries its best to give every upcoming project the support they deserve.

If a project is good, it could be contacted directly by top exchanges, instead of it looking around for exchanges. That was what happened in the case of Cartesi and it was so obvious. Right form the start, we all knew that this project was going to ganer so much attention and along the line, it was able to attract the attention of Binance. Why? Because they have got what could drive demand for their tokens.

If a new project who plans to use IEO to raise fund isn't aiming for better exchanges well that's their problem, I'm not ready to take such unsafe risk, there is 99% chance that the project will fail without top exchange running the IEO fundraising

all the serious projects and ideas already taken, what left are scammers trying to make it big on noobs expenses.

Don't take things personal cos some team don't want to stay in the game for many years to come so they won't aim for top exchanges that can get them penalized, you think a scam project can make it to binance and exit scam without actually hunting them down? Scammers know what they are doing and it's left for investors to take things serious with top exchanges, invest in IEO from top exchanges only

But most of the projects teams are failed to work on their promises once they raised huge money,so they have to give it back to the investors if they really want their project to reach the next level.But many good projects doesn't have enough money in their hand to promote it and list on a too reputed exchanges.

Project should have a long term vision and not just ha road map of a year or two. And then after that, nothing, no development whatsoever. I agree that they should use or list on top exchanges so that they will be exposed to more traders which means more project liquidity. Not focus on the money but what it can bring to crypto sphere or even to other industries.

But the problem is that projects nowadays wants to list on second tier exchanges, they should be very careful specially if that exchanges has the reputation of practicing wash trading or faking their volumes. It won't look good at them in the end.

Actually nothing else to wish for, if a project team have already achieve all this and still not able to sustain the project properly is a problem, because it will show that the team don't have much interest on the project except for the money,
To me, this is an indication of being successful in the project if they already have this features you mentioned above.

Yes you are right I agree on all points. This all works even if not very high quality projects go to the top exchange they have a great success. But unfortunately, I watched very cool and promising projects that simply do not have the money to list on the top exchange, because even a listing on Binance costs a lot of money. As a result, they went out on second-rate exchanges and it was a failure.

You have pointed the best things about Projects,but you forgot to mention about those scammers mate.

Remember that these teams will never aim for that because they have no plans at all.
Instead all they want is to make people believe about their goodwork but listing the SHitcoins  in  scam exchange.
It is time to wake up guys,because OP is correct that what would be a project need if all this privileges are indeed in Big exchanges?

Every investor want security and profits from investment in a new project. If a new project list in a top exchange, it gets huge trading volume, gets huge investors as well as trust from the investors side. Team should concentrate not only the product development, but also promotion and list on top exchange for the better result of the project.

That's true but usually top exchanges only list the best among the best, in short, there'll be many projects that are actually good that's not listed in exchange or unable to take advantage of its IEO being hosted by popular exchange. to be listed in a popular exchange is no brainer and any team wants that but the problem for them is how?

Every new crypto project team should focus on bringing a very important use case, this is the only way that big exchanges can list or accept their offer easily, binance exchange team are very careful which project they will list, the project has to have what it takes

I've too stopped searching for projects anywhere else. If I'm investing, it would be on the top exchanges IEO, it's even a lucky draw to buy IEO on binance. I don't bother investing in IEO and ICO anywhere else. If any of those projects were promising and made it to popularity, I can still buy them on secondary market with the profit I've made from other IEOs.

You mean's IEO right?

Yes, you're right, held IEO in top exchange can collect more fund to develope the project, but need capital to because I think exchange will ask fee first to prepare if the IEO fail so exchange still get money.

mostly just in first week or month, because there are many coin there and top coin will dominated the trading volume.


Listed on CMC or coingecko, so crypto lovers can more aware about the project and also good promotions.

Most people tend to value an exchange based project because this is very important because if the project is listed at major exchanges then people will have a different view of the project. I often overlook projects that do not have good liquidity or have no active community because those projects will only make you more disappointed. However, if the project wants to succeed, the project should work with other companies.

Listing on a large exchange can be very expensive for a project, a small project sometimes just can't do it.

You are absolutely right, perhaps that is why today new projects attract so little investment that many people find it very difficult to believe in their future prospects. Very often, investors bought coins during pre-sales with certain bonuses and could make very good money after listing, but today the situation is radically different.

I am not sure about the "top exchanges" part. Many of the projects don't give much importance to this, at least during the initial phases. All of their effort is directed at developing and advertising the project. And they expect the token to get listed in the major exchanges, once the development phase is complete. But then not many of the investors have the patience to wait till the end of development, which can take a few years.

being listed on the top exchange is a goal that I must emphasize, I think, because the community will also trust the project itself,
if the project is successful and has not entered into the top exchange it is a mistake

There is an alibi or reasons for this, they don't have enough funds to launch IEO on big exchanges or the platform is not qualify to the exchange criteria, so they submit their IEO to second grade exchange hoping to get funds then if they are legit they will go for top exchanges to gain more volume and investors.

Project Development plans, Reputable Team Members, The project to build itself. Being listed in the top exchanges right is not a big factor, there are some coins that has been listed in big name exhanges like binance but still don't get any volume or high value but if the team are keen in the developments of the project with so much promotional actvitiess and plenty of resoruces from investors it is not going die and will keep on making high value target for traders.

OP you are right but there is more, few projects find their way to binance exchange and other top exchanges but got delisted because they aren't active like before or the project's token isn't more demanding again, if investors want to invest always take a second look at the project use case very well, ask yourself if the use case will survive for long time to come or not

Those kinds of projects who aims to list their coins on some big exchanges are the one who has some big plan to succeed in the future. as they don't really care if they spend a big amount of money that kisting it to some unknown exchanges which makes their project attract fewer investors. they have some strong plans for the future which makes them the legit projects. One of the projects I joined with this kind of perspective is Mb8coin they been listed on Binance and they become one of the expensive coins I hodl from bounty rewards.

I think thats the reality and it is very common, but not all projects can list in top volume crypto exchange like Binance. But besides that reality still, many projects want to list in top crypto exchange because it was a common goal in every project, more liquidity meaning more money to support the continuous development of the project thats the logic behind in that common dream.

I think that should be obvious. When a project aims for top exchanges, that is a sign that they believe in their project and are ready to have a go at the platform where potential investors would take an interest. The top exchanges are always happy to list projects with great potentials. I mean, that is more money for those exchanges if the projects bring investors.

They are looking for more money and having sustainable market demand. That is why they aim to be listed into reputable exchanges but somehow it is very difficult to be there because aside from it needs money, they are also less potential to be considered with them in which reputable exchanges are looking for.

If a project won't have those capabilities, it for sure they won't succeed. That is why if we look around, a lot of new projects are dying, not definitely they have a good start and less chance to rise. It makes it very important for a project developer to have market exposure and have an effort to get listed in known exchanges otherwise, they will be the same to many unsuccessful projects around.

If your project is pure you won't want to list on small exchanges because top exchanges will give your new project good boosts and also reward you with all the funds needed for future developments, if a project team use low rated exchanges instead then they have no good plan

The big exchange site will always create a free listing even and all of the small projects can participate on it as long as they have a useful product to be proven to the exchange team if they worth to be listed on such exchange site. Did you watch binance event?

A good project team will always wish for a strong supportive community and a successful working product added to what you mentioned here. The major aim tbh for most is making money, not even for development sake. This is the more reason why some project team members keep launching projects and drop it once they realize the amount of money targeted, without fulfilling what's on roadmap.

yeah, that was the point they were hoping for. the high demand for these coins will make their projects better in the future. it's just that, they need to think about this carefully, because most developers, only have the desire to raise capital or large funds, but do not develop their projects. I am pretty sure that a project that has a good team has a desire to have a famous product like Binance.

While majority of them are scams yet there are still few that makes legit project.
and also why need to be listed in shit exchange when the competition is best in Big exchanges .
and also,a scam will always scammer no matter what they seems to look like.
the best way to treat those project is to make a deep research and not immediately putting our money.

Any serious project would focus on the development of its platform and the coin before it thinks about getting listed on any exchanges. The price of the coin gets a real boost when listed if the coin has some real applications to offer the world of blockchain.

I strongly agree with your statement that the traders and the whales cannot be trusted as they are capable of pumping or dumping the price to a great extent. Too much of volatility is not good for the project or the coin. Any coin could get listed on the top exchanges but the question is which coin (project) is the worthy one.

All the projects with legit background and real potential should indeed opt for top exchanged. But for a matter of fact, not all coins get accepted to the exchanges that quick. There is a whole procedure and sometimes there is also listing fee included. There are some projects that believe in delivering the product first rather than getting listed on exchanges and start its trading. Not all serious projects are listed on top exchanges and not the projects listen on the top exchanges are serious. So, take a note on that.

Absolutely true. But i would like to add a small hint here; i said traders cannot be trusted from the vision of long term improvement. However, traders can help nring the coin to shine and encourage more people to know about it. Something like a promotion push up. Just like what happened with bitcoin which became widely used during its early age by using it in darknet to make illegal deals .

A good team is needed for the first little good project. It is true that a good project requires a certain amount of money which will determine the future. For this there is good exchange and good trading whose volume will be very high.

IEO is the best crowdfunding for new projects now, yes it's true that it's very clear to see that using top exchanges means outstanding success but there are small projects that aren't big but can't handle big exchanges fee, what's about them?

Don't bother yourself, IEO success isn't shady so every one in crypto space knows that without top exchanges projects will thrive to raise soft cap targets, I will advice to ignore small projects that go for small exchanges because they aren't going to bring good ROI

New project should learn from the mistakes that been created by the failure projects. Investors are fully aware of fake identity and content from the new project. Listing in a good exchange is really a huge factor in considering a high potential project. With the huge traders in exchange site, this will help to boost the price of the token. Exchange also gives too much hype if they know that the token will be listed in a good exchange site.

It's obvious that every project would love to list on global exchange where there would have high recognition and increase in trading volume. But the major challenge is finance, as these exchanges have high listing fee and other requirements could be very tasking to complete.

I think all that is none other than money, maybe that is the main point of the project developer itself. on the other hand it certainly relates to the development of project products, market investment and project liquidity. every serious developer certainly has great expectations from the projects they develop for the future.

Aside from the three that you have mentioned, a projects needs a solid partnership for long term plans. If you have a reputable partner more people will invest and trust a project and it will help to build a bigger community or supporters. The other thing is a project team needs to be flexible to adapt new technologies and implement it to the project so that it will stay on track.

Not just on money concern but the project team should also see to it that this project will be very useful in the community as it creates more practical uses that will attract the interest of most investors. It's not a guarantee that if a project will be listed in a top exchange, it will surely hit its target goal. Mostly investors care about the most on it future advantages.

Important points have been mentioned by the OP.
A project that is true of high quality and seriously developing its products will surely strive to collaborate with competent companies and partners. Regarding funding, I see that there are several projects that can be successful with funding obtained internally and private sale, so when the quality is really good, it will not be difficult to attract investors.
Unique Tokenomy and a truly useful and useful product would be very interesting. An innovative dev team can certainly determine the right strategy by establishing profitable partnerships with well-known companies, this can strengthen the ecosystem of the project.

They will be more realistic if they choose a good exchange sites rather than exchange that have only few traders. They should provide sufficient budget to launch in a good exchange site. This is a huge advantage for them to settle the speculation about the legitimate of the project. The vision to create different strategies in the industry to have more investors that will support the project.

There are tons of coins that are listed on exchanges that neither has money for future development, nor has volume neither, sure it shows you to the whole world so the third one is definitely right but the third one doesn't result the first two. I have seen plenty of stuff even on binance that got delisted because they had like 10-20 thousand volume, do you know what a whale can do with that?

They could take a coin 100x without working too much, creating a huge hype, everyone will buy into it and they will just keep it up with the whale money they have until it reaches an organic increase in which case they will start selling. It is just way too risky for exchanges to list low volume coins. So IEO is not really a solution to anything unless you are actually a good project.

Not all project teams will have good aim or will put focus on their projects development, this is why its good to watch projects very well and see how far the teams are willing to go before buying their coins or tokens, also the project utility has to be promising enough

Yes, in terms of choosing a project, it must be careful in seeing how far the team is willing to work in developing the project, because a project that is only developed for a short time will not last long and will not even be successful in the near future, the lazy project team is a team who only want money alone does not want progress from the project.

The project team wants something right for their size even though they knew they should have gone a better, a bigger exchange but they can't. The fund is not unlimited and split to the other like dev, bounty, listing. Sure they are aiming for it but they have to settle to what they can atm.

I can understand when a new project goes with low-tier exchanges. But after a time under development but there is still no talk or aiming toward a big exchange then I would rate that project very low. Project team should know going for top exchange is a logical choice for a coin to moving forward.

and that will only be possible if they have good progress in terms of their development. so one thing that a project team should wish for is more clients/users that will use their app/services.
 without those users that will continuously utilize their platform, the project will go dead. they need to take care those users and speaking of that, they should resolve issues faced by these customers. fast resolution of issues will keep them at bay. increase number of users will influence the coin's demand and so increase in price is at hand when that happens

Having seen many projects team go the path of listing on bad exchanges I started asking myself questions as well as checking all those that took the same path, I found out they all have the same aim, which is, exit scam; that is, they know that listing on bad exchanges will kill their project but yet they will go ahead to do it and thus having the opportunity to gradually allow the project to go down and thus walking away from it. I don't actually believe that any trustworthy team can actually list on a bad exchange. How many projects listed on exchanges like P2PB2B are still working nor growing today? That answers it all, Even with low funds, there are still good exchanges to start with.

I too believe that serious projects will always aim for top exchanges to raise fund and to have better investors, marketcap, volume and good liquidity, but not all small projects that use small exchanges are scam either, there are presently many small projects that's been around since 2017 and still good till today

Some small projects could be genuine and would worth a lot than what they begin with, but for this to identify such projects its like finding a needle from haystack. So if can do that or have a great eye for details in such projects then can invest in it else can invest in the already listed coins on best exchanges and which is available at lower price at the current times.

Some projects that ends on p2pb2b exchange and other like p2pb2b exchange are doing it willingly, they either don't have enough fund for top exchanges or they willingly list on p2pb2b exchange because they don't plan to stay for long

but why ? your tired of assuming because projects always end up on top exchanges ? or you mean to say that even if they end up on listing on top exchange success are still not guaranteed because of the reasons that you said . its okay if thats the case but no because there are serious projects that cant get thier self listed on a top exchange . it could be they are lack of money or thier project isnt qualified for what the exchange ask for . money and quality are the two that they want more

Remember, not all projects on top exchanges are that good, few died after few years and the top exchanges teams had no choice but to delist such projects from their exchanges, this year so far binance exchange have delisted 4 to 5 different altcoins

the best exchange will see the project they will choose, in the sense that it is they who determine that the project will be listed on their exchange and have a ieo on their exchange.
while projects that have to pay upfront to do ieo may still not be able to raise funds at the exchange top.
but there is still an opportunity for a listing if it's good, then they will invite them to join.

Lack of funds can be the reason for some team not to list their token on big exchanges and some projects use case are bad that top exchanges will turn them down, the best advice to give is for developers to stop building crappy projects

when there is an altcoin that is removed from a good exchange place such as a Binance exchange place, it does not respect the exchange platform and does not appreciate the development of the project, thus making the cryptocurrency name damaged because there is no good development of the project and the developer.

The secret to success using IEO is through top exchanges, big exchanges like binance and kucoin will give your project good exposure and drive big waves of investors and make good volume and liquidity available, stay way from low exchanges like p2pb2b and exmarket exchange

Yes, most of the ICO promise this especially if they are planning to scam more investors in their crowd sourcing scheme. There is really no way to identify that the project could really be successful if it sold out all of the tokens. Others are just making the numbers so that they can get more funds from the crowd. I have seen some few projects who were sold out on their token sale and even boasting on the ads that they were done on one of the football games. Many were happy on that project especially the investors but until now the project had nowhere to be found the team are not active anymore and probably they ran away with the crowd fund. This is how the ICO projects work here. They earn money by making a fraud project making you believe that the project is real that will be able to double your money fast and easy.

Of course all things are we want to see in the project because we can decide properly if the project is really good to support until in the future. You are right too its important that the project have enough money to develop their project which is that's the reason of some project thats why they failed. is because shorts in funds.Social media is the best way to promote their project so they can get investor to invest. And most of all the value of the their token or coin,we know that now a days that value of coin is very important for investor.

In order for them to go to the top exchanges in this market, they need to have a large budget to pay for it. So it's very difficult for new projects because the majority of cashew projects start from zero

True, because a serious project nowadays spend for the listed in big exchange, unlike before that they can easily raise money from ICO without taking out from their personal pocket as their investment. Now, things have changed, since ICO is not anymore selling and IEO is the new trend, they are force to invest for the project to be listed in big exchange and to have a good opportunity to raise the target funds, thus, it helps reduce the scammers in the space as most scammers are just running ICO.

If you can get a top exchange to list you that would be awesome obviously but just because you can't get a top exchange to list you doesn't mean that you will stop.

There are tons of coins that started out with bad and small exchanges and slowly grew to be bigger and eventually got picked up by the giant exchanges as well, it just took them some time, the nature of a project is usually not going out big all at once but to gradually become bigger and bigger if they can, obviously not many can do that but the ones that did it stayed up.

I remember when IOTA was so big that people thought it could actually go over bitcoin at one point, why? Because, on its first days and weeks it became HUGE and ranked as high as top 5 on its first month, where is now? 24th, that is why early on is not the one that matters, it matters what you do later.

Genuinely these are key points what a project really want. If you are thinking of a top rated exchange then you have to give them huge amount fee for your coin. So serious projects own't hesitate to do that because they want to build up their project but which projects are not serious enough they always try to find low quality exchange for their coin. But it's always important to choose a good quality exchange if they want to develop their coin/token.
Besides these points it's also important to develop their own product and make their asset (token) more use able (like fiat).

I agree with you, Good exchange provide teams with lots of opportunity centered around fundraising and good tokenomics and it also contributes greatly to the future development of the project but not let's forget they need to have a well defined visions, aims and objectives in order to be able to deliver the product because i've seen many projects abandoned their project development after raising huge funds and got listed on exchanges

Everyone knows that already. I believe that good project usually do this way. However there are cases that new project settles with low market exchange and gradually enter medium to big market for market purposes. This us also working and can be judged as serious too. Its depend on the project strategy. But I like some of these projects that started this way, cause the hype and market price increase as they been listed slowly. Cause people noticed them.

but the exchange is also an important point in this regard. I am sure that every serious developer who wants to develop his project, certainly hopes that his tokens will enter the popular exchange. this is evidenced that every message sent on a group telegram will definitely try to offer a popular exchange to attract more investors and users.

Binance will trigger the investors to invest in such project. Remember it's not about the technical aspects but when a coin can be listed on the binance exchange site and then it will be getting massive demand from the various community too.

Another thing to add are to add plans for continuous development of their whole platform. If they want enough money and better exposure, they need to make sure that they are willing to add more needed features that are available on their platform that will make them popular and from there, they should just go stable to being a useful and profitable platform.

It's entirely fair to judge a project through the Exchanges they plan to use for IEO, if it's a small exchange it means the team aren't that serious with the project and if it's a top exchange then they already know what impact top exchanges will bring to their project

You are right, i used that way too to identify the new project launched, this method often works for me who don't want to be difficult to identify whether a project is good or bad. check the cartesi price month ago, and check the last price today, it was profitable, the IEO was on binance, thats proof how the market team is so smart in screening a project for us.

Its not only the big exchanges that can contribute to a project success they can generate funding but this is only short term we must aim for long term after they do IEO and get listed it's up to the developers dedication and platform if the support will continue, this is where investors losses their money because they rely heavily on exchange when they should check if the project is progressing.
