CEX Ready is a free introduction service for token projects: you describe your project and what you need (market making, listing readiness, liquidity, audits, legal, marketing, launchpads), we check the fit, and we introduce you to a vetted partner who covers it. Projects pay nothing. A partner may pay CEX Ready a referral fee if you choose to work with them. We do not sell listings, apply to exchanges for you, or ask for tokens, payments, or keys.
Key takeaways
- 4 steps: tell us, fit check, introduction, you decide.
- Free for projects. Partners may pay us a disclosed referral fee.
- No listing promises. You apply to exchanges yourself.
- Your data stays private. It goes only to the partner you’re introduced to.
The four steps
- Tell us what you need. Use get matched with a market maker for listings and liquidity, or request an introduction for anything else: audits, legal, tokenomics, KOLs, PR, launchpads, community, CoinGecko and CMC, custody, OTC.
- Fit check. We confirm the project is real and that a partner covers the request. If we don’t have a suitable partner, we tell you rather than guess.
- Introduction. The partner contacts you on Telegram or email for a short call.
- You decide. Compare the proposal with our agreement checklist and calculators. No obligation.
What we never do
- Sell or “guarantee” exchange listings, or apply to exchanges for you.
- Ask for tokens, payments, seed phrases, private keys, or exchange logins.
- Sell volume, rankings, or “trending” placements.
- Publish or sell your project’s details.

Frequently asked questions
Who can help me find a crypto market maker?
CEX Ready introduces token projects to vetted market-making partners for free: tell us your venues and timing. You can also approach firms directly; our A–Z directory lists firms that offer market making, and how to find a market maker explains the options.
Why is it free? What's the catch?
Partners pay us a referral fee if you choose to work with them, the way many B2B referral services work. We disclose it on every page. You agree pricing directly with the partner and can compare it with any other quote.
How do I know I won't be scammed by a market maker?
No one can promise that, but you can reduce the risk. We only introduce partners that meet our standards: written KPIs, no wash trading, no listing guarantees, never asking for keys. Then do your own checks with the red flags guide and agreement checklist.
Is a token loan to a market maker risky?
It can be. The main risks are low option strikes, no KPIs, and tokens being sold into the market. Read token loan terms, compare public deal terms, and model the cost with the calculator before signing.
How much does market making cost?
There is no standard price. One firm publishes retainers of $2,500 to $10,000 a month, and token loans are often quoted as a share of supply. See market-making cost for the published numbers and what drives them.
Can you get us listed on Binance?
No, and no one can legitimately promise that. Binance disqualifies applications made through intermediaries. We help you get ready and introduce you to market makers. You apply yourself. See Binance listing.
What happens to the information we send?
It goes privately to CEX Ready and, if there’s a fit, to the partner we introduce you to. It isn’t published or sold. See privacy.
We already have a market maker. Can you help?
Yes. Many projects ask for a second opinion when spreads are wide, depth is thin, or a contract is ending. Choose ‘Second opinion on our current market maker’ in the form.
Ready when you are
Two minutes, one contact method, no obligation. If we don't have a suitable partner, we'll say so.
