Who it may fit
Kairon Labs focuses on token issuers, including smaller projects seeking first listings, according to its own descriptions. Ask for KPIs per venue, since mid- and small-cap venues vary widely in depth.
Questions to ask Kairon Labs before you sign
- Which of your target venues are already supported, and with what depth commitments?
- Is pricing a retainer, a profit share, a loan, or a mix?
- Who owns trading P&L on your inventory?
- Can you see live balances and fills via read-only keys?
Then run the same questions past at least two other firms. Our market maker scorecard and proposal comparison guide show how to score them on one sheet, and the cost calculator prices a loan’s option.
Due diligence on any market maker
Search the firm’s legal entity name in SEC, U.S. Department of Justice, CFTC and your own regulator’s enforcement releases and in court records. In 2024–2025 U.S. authorities charged and later convicted several firms that sold “market making” which was in fact wash trading; see market-maker enforcement cases. A contract that bans wash and self-trading, gives you read-only data access, and states KPIs per venue protects you whoever you hire.
