CEX Ready introduces token projects to vetted crypto market-making and liquidity partners, free for projects: you share your venues, timing, and treasury, and a partner that fits contacts you with a proposal. Partners offer retainer market making with KPIs, token-loan structures, profit-share and delta-neutral models, LP-side liquidity, and trading competitions. CEX Ready may receive a disclosed referral fee from the partner. It does not sell listings or apply to exchanges for you.
Key takeaways
- Start in 30 seconds: project name and a Telegram handle or email.
- Models available: retainer, token loan, profit share, LP-side liquidity, trading competitions.
- Vetted: partners must meet our standards, including written KPIs and no wash trading.
- Compare freely: use our calculator and checklist on any proposal.
How the introduction works
- Tell us about your token on the get matched form: project name and one contact method. Optional details help.
- We check the fit against what our partners cover.
- A partner contacts you on Telegram or email for a short call about venues, inventory, structure, and timing.
- You compare and decide. No obligation.
What partners offer
| Model | Suits |
|---|---|
| Retainer market making | Teams with stablecoins that want control and KPIs |
| Token loan + options | Teams with more tokens than cash |
| Profit / revenue share | Teams that want aligned incentives |
| LP-side liquidity | Books deeper than your own inventory allows |
| Trading competitions | New listings and perp DEX launches |
Why an introduction instead of a cold search
- Most firms don’t publish prices, and published “best market maker” rankings are rarely independent. See why.
- Partners have agreed to our standards before we introduce anyone.
- You still compare: ask any firm the market maker questions.
Frequently asked questions
Who can help me find a market maker for my token?
CEX Ready makes free introductions to vetted market-making partners: tell us about your token. You can also contact firms directly; our A–Z directory lists firms that offer market making.
What do I need before talking to a market maker?
Your chain and contract, total and circulating supply with the unlock schedule, current and target venues, the tokens and stablecoins you can commit, and who signs. See the pre-listing checklist.
How fast can a market maker start?
It depends on the firm, the venues, and how quickly accounts and inventory are ready. Start the conversation before you apply to exchanges so liquidity is ready when trading opens.
Do small-cap tokens get introductions?
Yes, if the token has a real team and a plan to list on, or improve liquidity on, at least one centralized exchange or perp DEX. See market making for small caps.
