Hi,
I just create Cardano based token named PIGY Token. The utility is to give extra-reward for delegator.
The complete whitepaper can be found here
https://www.pigytoken.com/ (https://www.pigytoken.com/)

Now, straight to the point. Cardano Swap still will not launch until it's smart contract launch. Which is maybe around August/September.
Now, my question is
1. Are there any guide/step by step guide how to get listed in exchange?
2. Which exchange is usually new coin start with?
3. Are there any cost to list in exchange?
4. Any success story of people get listed? A link to the story would be nice.

I hope I write in the correct category.
Thank you in advance

1. You should contact with the exchange, try to search on "HELP/GUIDE Information" or most of the time in the bottom footer of site exchange.
2. Every exchange can be listed, as long you past several due diligence from them.
3. Yes
4. This can't be share by personal user, most of the time company/project.

Sometime, there also have some partner listing who working with the exchange it self to looking some potential coin/token to be listed on their exchange. They get paid a few % If succesfully bring a new token/coin to be listed on the exchange.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
If possible, are there any statistic that show which exchange that high probability how higher success rate for listing new token? I know that Coinbase is the hardest one, because many of big player also very hard to get listed in there.
About cost. Any range cost? I mean I really have no idea is it big or is it small?
Where can I find this partner listing? Are there a big company? or just personal reference?
Thank you again

The cost for listing a token depends on the exchange where you're negotiating with. If the exchange finds your token to be good, reliable, and has a market that they can profit with, they might give you a discount. But usually, new projects are charged quite high and if you're just starting without liquidity, you'll find it hard to negotiate with them to lessen the cost. But just as suggested you can contact all of them to have a quote on how much they usually list new projects just as yours. You can have the idea of which exchanges to list your token on CMCs list of exchanges.

Your post looks like you are a noob in the crypto world. So why did you decide to own a project? What are your plans for making this project success? Do you think that if you can list a token on an any exchange, it is called Success? Does crypto seem so easy to you? Fuck of  ???

Friendly Advice.  Go learn about crypto first.  Then try to build a business. Do not try to bring water with a net.  Prepare the pot first to fetch water. Otherwise the whole effort will be in vain.

Thanks,
I will try to contact each of them. Actually I plan to wait until more people use my token. Then I start to reach them. But, I want to find out how it will go.

I would say that top tier exchanges charge way high for your token to be listed, I would speculate that it is between 1-5 BTC minimum.

For those mid exchanges, obviously, it's less than that, but I think still expensive specially if you are just starting.

For low tier, maybe you can list it for free, but there might be several catches so read the TOS and try to talk and reach out to them.

So best of luck.

There is nothing easier than to launch a new coin on a decentralized exchange. The main advantage of listing on DEX is that it is free. This is exactly what most projects do when listing on DEX is carried out simultaneously with TGE. Also, pay attention to the exchange Gate.io, which conducts the listing of all new coins for free.

There are two types of exchanges out there one is centralized exchange and another one is decentralized exchange.

To list a project on a centralized exchange you need to submit their listing form after meeting all the criteria they mentioned in there which depends on which exchange you choose and also you have to pay the fee needed for it.

To list on DEX, there is no such steps involve you just can list any project you want and make sure the platform support your project's smart contracts.

I-see your question-if I can suggest you-try you communicate with this person: Royse777 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5328445.0), I see Royse777 is doing a lot of token-based campaigns like what you want to do now.

I'm sure Royse777 can help you with any problem, the goal is that your new token can be better known and developed, especially-investors/exchanges/communities etc., good luck in your new-token development.

Thank you all for all your reply and thank you for providing such valued information.
I am too want to find small exchange that might easier to get listed. Any suggestion will be enormous help.

About DEX, I already ask a Cardano based swap such as yayswap and sundaeswap, but they still making it, and will not ready until the smart contract launch. Probably around Sept. Quick question here, if I create the token base on Cardano, can I swap in Dex like pancake? or any available swap?

Thanks, I will will contact Ryose777

The problem with listing in small exchange is the issue of liquidity! Small centralized exchange do not get user base that ensure liquidity , most of the times, the liquidity you see on small exchange are made up and fake! If I were you, I will wait for Cardano smart contract to be done and be the early creator of token on it's network!

I would say that it is like any other thing, getting listed depends on the popularity of the project. If you are really good at what you are doing then you are going to be listed, if you suck then you are not going to be listed that's it. There are coins and tokens who have tens of thousands even over hundred thousand followers on twitter and have over 100k on telegram as well, those are the places that gets love and they are listed, they are liked by the community and gets accepted and do what they want wherever they want.

On contrary when we are talking about a place with just few hundred telegram users and few hundred twitter followers then they are not really accepted or even heard so how could they get listed when nobody cares? This is not to say go out there and buy followers, that is not really the right way, you need organic because you can have a million followers but if they are fake then it would not help you.

Actually I am waiting for Cardano smart contract to roll, but, while waiting. I also try to get other source too, for the future reference. Therefore, if this project are booming in the future, I already prepare the next step. I'm seeking all option available.
Thank you for your reply

I understand what you mean. We also trying to get as many user possible. Our project is focusing on reward for Cardano delegator, that distribute from the Cardano Stake Pool operator. I also are trying to make games that will draw attention to Cardano delegator so they are willing to ask from the Stake pool that their stake with.

This is consider a pre-start. Because, the real start will be start from Sept. Where Cardano smart contract launch.
Well, wish me luck..

You're welcome. You're free to contact and ask them for a quotation because they're also wanting to list some of their tokens. But just so you know they have to find out what your token really is for. Just like Binance, each of them has a standard of listing so if they don't think that your coin is worth listing even you're capable of paying them, they won't allow you to list it. But if they see that your project is good enough, even if you don't have to pay them, they'll list you as long as you've passed whatever the standards that they have set for listing a new token or coin onto their exchanges.

Ok,
I got a new step ahead now. I just know that there is something called "bounty hunters". Which is some group of people that cheer your token. (I'm thinking like a cheerleader ;D)
Now, anybody ever try to use "bounty hunters"? and are there some benefit? After reading all the post above I come to conclude that the best way to get your token famous is through organic, which slow and kinda really slow.
Is the "bounty hunters" service somehow can expedite the process?
I'm afraid it's like in twitter or instagram, that we bought follower. It looks good, but in fact it is not.
Any comments are welcome

1. You Need To Contact Them, In Several Exchange You Can Find "Listing" Menu In The Bottom of Exchange Main Page.
2. As Far I Know Is LATOKEN, They are a Liquidity Exchange and Too Many New Project Start With Them.
3. Yes Exactly, They (Exchanges) Will Ask You For Listing Fee, But In Several Exchange They Only Need a Partnership.
4. No.

I Think Will Be Hard To You To List Your Token, Cardano Smart Contract Is Not Ethereum Compatible Right? If Yes, So The Answer Is " Will Be Hard To You To List Your Token ". Even Polygon Network Is Not Yet Supported By Majority of Exchange.

As far as I know, in order to be able to list tokens or coins on a centralized exchange,
we have to spend more funds for the coins to be listed, but there are other ways,
yes thats participating in polls for new tokens or new coins held by the CEX,
especially in good exchanges like Binance, it will be very difficult to enter there

Sometimes money is required, huge sum of money is depending on the standard of exchange to be listed on, exchanges like binance have high price of listing but not in all cases, sometimes community votes can push a project to be listed in this top exchange, other times the nature of the project itself can draw the attention of some of this top exchange, a project that has great qaulity and outstanding ideas or ground breaking ideas usually attract top exchanges because they also want to benefit from the hype of the project.

If you want to be listed in the top 100 exchanges, the prices are between 6k - 400k. Depending on whether FIAT is offered, which and how many pairings there should be, etc.

Of course, the bounty Hunter has a crucial role in attracting investors if marketed properly. With your large number of followers on social media, it will usually attract investors to invest in your product, so is this directly listed on the exchange first, or is it running some kind of IEO or ICO?

basically it's all about how much benefit the exchange gonna have if they listed this specific coin, it just always works like that and not only limited to exchange but in real business it's also like that too.
If a project wanted to get listed for free then the project should have a really good quality and big community, otherwise it's money talk. I personally think dex is enough for most of projects out there, but some project really want to get opened up into a whole new flow of capitals to their market.

Yeah, hunters have greater effort in advertising new projects to the greater in as much as their rewards are sure to be delivered, the project is good as it's built on cardano blockchain, every investors will love to invest in it, maybe the launch of ADA smart contract by September will certainly have positive impact on the project, who knows.

Thank you for all the post.
I just open a new account in LATOKEN. Fill some questionnaire, and I see from there. I agree that I think I will start from Cardano Community first. Then move on to bigger community. Besides, the project will need support from Cardano Community. 
But, I am sure that I will need exchange to raise the fund more easily.
Thank you for all your post. By any chance if you would like to see the whitepaper it is in the website

If you want to list your token on Decentralised exchange. Then you have to add liquidity on the exchange. In this case you can do it yourself. But if you want to list on Centralised exchange like MXC / Kucoin you have to contact theam and you have to pay them a listing cost. then they will list your token. In either case you have to spend a lot of money.  For that you need to reach out to some angel investors first who will help you

There are 2 types of listing is possible on both centralized and decentralized exchanges: paid listing and free listing. For free listing you must have already made your project famous and reputed among crypto community so that some exchanges will be interested to list your token/coin for free of cost.

For paid listing, you will get small exchanges to highly reputed exchanges and their fees and so depending on their reputation.

If my memory is serving me perfectly, I have seen many people were offering services for helping devs to list their coins and tokens into some set of exchanges. Please look into services and marketplace sub-boards for finding more information on such services.

price depend on exchanges quality, for tier 1 exchanges maybe it could more than 400k for listing fee. Developers money didnt guarantee they will listing in good exchanges, team will reviewed it first about quality , utility and usecase , ecosystem and roadmap that will builded. if didnt meet excanges criteria even dev team pay alot, it will not accepted. Only reputable exchanges do this way, most of them only need money .

I've had a bit of experience with getting a token listed, and it's not as simple as it might seem. I'd say that getting it listed on a top exchange is very difficult, and you'd probably have to move up gradually, having it listed on only somewhat popular exchanges first. You'll have to provide a lot of info about the project and, from what I've seen, pay a significant amount of money. I'm talking about centralized exchanges here, but you should probably look into what tvplus006 mentioned about decentralized exchanges. If I had to list a coin these days, I'd start by looking at recently added coins on Coingecko  (https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/recently_added)and analyzing which exchanges these coins are being traded on often. The one I see come up often with small tokens is Uniswap, and they have info on listing a token (https://uniswap.org/docs/v1/frontend-integration/token-listing/) there which you can look into. If you manage to get your coin listed or gather info about the process, I think it would be interesting to many people to see followups from you in this thread (or you can make a new one). It's useful information that might help others in the future. Good luck!

You first have to find the exchange of your choice, you can use any of the swap exchanges to get listed, but it most advisable to do your research and don’t depend on users’ advice.

I don't even know how it is possible to conduct a paid listing on a decentralized exchange? Since such exchanges are decentralized, there is no paid listing on such exchanges. Paid listing is possible only on centralized exchanges, and since the decision on listing here is made by a member of the exchange, the prices for listing on various exchanges vary very much.
