CEX Ready does not sell listings or apply to exchanges for you. We help token projects get listing-ready and introduce them, for free, to vetted market-making partners who can provide what exchanges look for after a listing: two-sided quotes, depth, uptime, and a liquidity plan. Our partners offer monthly retainer market making, LP-side liquidity deployed alongside the project, profit-share and delta-neutral structures, token loan models, and trading competitions for launches and perp DEX listings. You submit exchange applications yourself, through each exchange’s official form.
Key takeaways
- Apply to exchanges directly, as the founder or a core team member. Binance and Bitget say they do not work with third-party listing agents.
- What you can get help with: listing readiness, a liquidity plan, and a market maker in place before trading opens.
- Partner models available: retainer, LP-side liquidity, profit / revenue share, token loan, and trading competitions.
- Introductions are free for projects. CEX Ready may be paid a referral fee by the partner; we disclose it everywhere.
What our partners can provide for a listing
These services are available through our vetted market-making partners. Terms, minimums, and pricing are agreed directly with the partner, and depend on venues, inventory, and token profile.
| Offering | What it is | Usually suits |
|---|---|---|
| Market making retainer | A monthly fee for continuous two-sided quoting, with KPIs for spread, depth, and uptime, reporting, and round-the-clock monitoring. The partner diagnoses order-book issues, adapts strategy, and works to maintain and grow the value of operational balances. | Projects with a treasury in stablecoins and six- or seven-figure operational balances |
| LP-side liquidity | The partner deploys its own capital alongside the project’s, instead of relying only on the project’s inventory, forced liquidations, or extracting value from the market. | Projects that need deeper books than their own inventory can support |
| Profit / revenue share | A flexible structure where the partner shares in trading results, from active trading to delta-neutral execution, instead of (or alongside) a flat fee. | Teams that want incentives tied to performance |
| Token loan model | The project lends tokens for quoting; the partner is paid through agreed terms such as call options, with return conditions in the contract. | Projects with more tokens than cash |
| Trading competitions | Structured competitions, including for perp DEX listings, that bring new traders to a pair with transparent rules and rewards. | Launches and new listings that need first traders and activity |
| Listing readiness | A review of what exchange listing teams ask for: documents, tokenomics, contract, audits, and the liquidity plan. | Pre-TGE and first-CEX projects |
Where exchanges stand on agents
We say this plainly because it protects you. The largest exchanges publish direct warnings:
- Binance: applications must come from the founder, CEO, or a key team member; applications through intermediaries are disqualified and the project blacklisted. Binance guide.
- Bitget: no brokerage, application, or evaluation fees, and no collaboration with external agencies for listings. Bitget guide.
- Kraken and Coinbase: listing is free; no paid fast-track. Kraken · Coinbase.
So the honest version of “listing help” is readiness plus the counterparties exchanges expect a serious project to have, starting with a market maker. See listing scams and fake agents and how to get listed on a CEX.
How it works
- You submit the form. It goes privately to CEX Ready and is never published.
- We check the fit and may ask a short follow-up question.
- A market-making partner contacts you on Telegram or email for a readiness call about venues, inventory, deal structure, and timing.
- You decide. Compare proposals using our guides: how to choose a market maker, KPIs, and red flags.
Before the call
Have these ready if you can: chain and contract address, total and circulating supply with the unlock schedule, current venues and pairs, the exchanges you are applying to, how many tokens and how much stablecoin you could commit to liquidity, and who can sign an agreement. Our pre-listing checklist and token launch checklist cover the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Can you get my token listed on Binance, Bybit, OKX or another exchange?
No, and nobody can legitimately promise that. Exchanges make their own listing decisions. Binance says applications through third parties are disqualified and the project blacklisted, and Bitget says it does not collaborate with external agencies for listings. We help you prepare and introduce you to market makers and liquidity partners; you apply through the exchange’s official form.
Why do exchanges care about market makers?
Exchanges monitor how listed tokens trade. Coinbase says it watches liquidity, order-book depth, and volatility during launch, Kraken says it monitors volume, spread, and depth after listing, and its listing page even advertises access to pre-vetted liquidity partners to keep spreads tight from day one. A professional market maker is how most projects make sure the order book is two-sided and deep enough from the first minute.
What does a listing readiness call cover?
Where the token trades now, which exchanges or tiers you are targeting, supply and unlock data, inventory you can commit (tokens and stablecoins), the deal structure that suits your treasury (retainer, LP-side, profit share, or token loan), and whether a trading competition makes sense for launch.
Is there a cost for the introduction?
No. Introductions are free for projects and carry no obligation. A partner may pay CEX Ready a referral fee if you choose to work with them. The partner’s own fees are agreed directly between you and the partner.
We are already listed. Is this still relevant?
Yes. Many requests come from projects whose current market maker is underperforming, whose contract is ending, or who are adding a second or third exchange or a perp DEX listing. Choose ‘Already live, improving liquidity’ in the timeline.
Which projects are a good fit?
Projects with a live token or a planned TGE, a real team that can sign a contract, and a plan to list on, or improve liquidity on, at least one centralized exchange or perp DEX. Small caps are welcome; the useful details are chain, venues, timing, and the inventory you can commit.
