Listing T&Cs

Updated · 21 December 2023 · 11:02 AM

This document outlines the terms and conditions (“Terms”) governing the listing of your project’s token on the Cryptology platform (“Listing”) offered by Cryptology (“we” or “us”). The Listing enables Projects to add their tokens (“Token”) to the list of supported digital assets on the Cryptology platform and launch one or several trading pairs with widely recognized cryptocurrencies, thereby allowing users of the Cryptology platform (“User” or “Users”) to trade the Token. These Terms are designed to ensure clarity and transparency in our relationship with you and to provide a clear understanding of the processes, requirements, and responsibilities associated with the Listing.
These Terms form an integral part of the contractual relationship between the Project and Cryptology and shall apply together with the Exchange Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and any other terms and conditions of Cryptology.
Cryptology reserves the right to update these Terms from time to time. It is your responsibility to review them periodically to stay informed about any changes.
Before applying for the Listing, we urge you to read these Terms carefully and ensure you understand them. By applying for the Listing of the Token, you acknowledge and agree to adhere to these Terms, which constitute a binding legal agreement between you (“Project” or “Projects”) and Cryptology.

  1. ELIGIBILITY AND APPLICATION PROCESS
    1. Eligibility Criteria. To be eligible for the Listing on the Cryptology platform, Projects must meet the following criteria:
      • The Token must be based on one of the following supported blockchain protocols: ERC20 (Ethereum), BEP20 (Binance Smart Chain), TRC20 (TRON), Polygon, or Solana. In cases where the Token is based on a different blockchain protocol, the Project must engage in a separate discussion with Cryptology to assess the feasibility and eligibility of the Listing.

      • The Token must not be classified or treated as a security or any other investment or financial product that is subject to securities laws and regulations. Cryptology may request sufficient legal documentation or expert opinions confirming the above statement.

      • Projects must always comply with applicable laws and regulations in jurisdictions relevant to their operations and the jurisdictions where the Tokens are issued.

      • Projects must not be involved in any illegal, fraudulent, or unethical activities. This includes, but is not limited to, activities related to money laundering, terrorism financing, and market manipulation.

      • Projects are required to provide transparency about their activity, team, and tokenomics. This includes clear disclosure of the token supply, distribution mechanisms, and any lock-up periods, limitations, or special allocations.

      • The Token must be developed on a stable and secure technological framework.

      • Projects should demonstrate an active and engaged community. This includes, but is not limited to, social media presence, community discussions, and user support.

    2. Cryptology reserves the right to conduct a regulatory risk assessment of the Project and the Token. Projects must cooperate fully in providing any necessary information for this assessment.
    3. Application Process. Projects interested in the Listing of their Tokens on the Cryptology platform shall submit an application through the Listing page of the official website (https://cryptology.com/listing) or via another designated channel provided by Cryptology. The application shall include information about the Project, Token, underlying blockchain protocol, and contact details.
    4. Upon receipt of the application, Cryptology will conduct a thorough review process. This process includes, but is not limited to, an assessment of the Project's technological soundness, regulatory compliance, market potential, team credibility, and community support.
    5. Cryptology reserves the right to request additional information, documentation, or clarification from the Project during the review process as deemed necessary to conduct appropriate due diligence measures. Failure to provide requested information in a timely manner may result in the rejection of the application.
    6. Following a comprehensive review, Cryptology will make a decision regarding the Listing of the Token on the Cryptology platform. This decision will be communicated to the Project, along with any terms or conditions that must be met prior to and post the Listing. 
    7. Cryptology reserves the right to reject any application without disclosing the reasons for rejection.
  2. MARKET-MAKING REQUIREMENTS
    1. To ensure a robust and liquid trading environment on the Cryptology platform, Projects whose Tokens are listed shall comply with specific Market-Making Requirements (“MM Requirements”). These requirements are crucial for maintaining an active and stable market, ensuring that Users can trade the Token efficiently.
    2. The MM Requirements applied to all trading pairs with the Token are as follows: 
      • Average 24-Hour Spread: The bid/ask spread for the Token should not exceed 1% on average over 24 hours.

      • Daily Trading Volume: There must be a minimum daily trading volume of $10,000 per trading pair, starting from the date of the trading launch.

      • Frequency of Trades: Trades involving the Token should be executed at least every 30 minutes.

      • Order Book Depth: The Project must maintain a minimum of $1,000 within a 1.9% spread of ask orders and a similar amount within a 1.9% spread of bid orders.

    3. Options for Compliance. Projects may choose to fulfill the MM Requirements by engaging a third-party liquidity provider. It is the responsibility of the Project to ensure that the chosen provider is capable of maintaining the required level of market liquidity. Alternatively, Projects may choose to comply with the MM Requirements using their own resources. In such cases, Projects must demonstrate their capability to sustain the necessary trading volumes and liquidity levels. 
    4. Exemption Criteria. Projects whose Tokens are already listed on other centralized exchanges deemed reliable by Cryptology, at its sole discretion, may be considered for exemption from the MM Requirements. Cryptology will evaluate each case individually based on the trading volume, market liquidity, and reputation of the other exchange(s).

    5. Zero-Fee Account. Cryptology will provide Projects with a dedicated zero-fee market-making account (“MM Account”) specifically for the purpose of performing trades required to comply with the MM Requirements. The MM Account is to be used exclusively for fulfilling MM Requirements in relation to the Token. Using the MM Account for any other purposes, including trading other digital assets on the Cryptology platform, will be considered a material breach of these Terms. The Project shall bear sole responsibility for all market-making activities undertaken on the Cryptology platform using the MM Account, including any and all outcomes or results thereof.

    6. Monitoring. Cryptology will regularly monitor the market activity of the listed Tokens to ensure compliance with the MM Requirements. Projects agree to provide periodic reports and data as requested by Cryptology to facilitate this monitoring.

    7. Failure to Comply. Non-compliance with the MM Requirements may result in actions, including but not limited to, temporary suspension of trading or delisting of the Token. Cryptology will provide notice to the Project and an opportunity to rectify the situation before taking any such actions.
  3. CO-MARKETING ACTIVITIES
    1. Joint Marketing Initiatives. Upon listing of the Token, Cryptology and the Project shall engage in co-marketing activities designed to promote both the Token and Cryptology's platform. These collaborative efforts are aimed at maximizing exposure and user engagement for the Token.
    2. Types of Marketing Activities. The co-marketing activities may include, but are not limited to, contests, airdrops, competitions, bonuses, social media campaigns, and other promotional events. Both parties shall agree upon the specific nature and scope of these activities in advance.
    3. Marketing Budget. Certain marketing activities may require a marketing budget to be provided in Tokens or other digital assets ("Marketing Budget"), which the Project shall furnish. The specifics regarding the amount and allocation of the Marketing Budget will be mutually established and agreed upon in writing by both parties.
    4. Collaboration and Approval Process. The Project and Cryptology shall work collaboratively to develop and execute marketing strategies. All marketing materials or campaigns related to the Token and co-marketing activities must receive prior written approval from Cryptology before their launch. This ensures that all promotional content aligns with Cryptology's brand and compliance standards.
    5. Performance. The Project agrees to provide reports on the performance of co-marketing activities, including metrics such as reach, engagement, and user feedback. These reports will help in assessing the effectiveness of the marketing efforts and in making any necessary adjustments to the strategy.
    6. Compliance. All marketing and promotional activities undertaken in relation to the Token must comply with relevant advertising standards and regulations. The Project is responsible for ensuring that all marketing content is accurate, valid, fair, not misleading, and fully compliant with applicable laws and regulations.

    3. By listing its Token on the Cryptology platform, the Project acknowledges that Cryptology is not responsible for the Token’s market performance, liquidity, or reception by traders and Users. The Project understands that market conditions, user perceptions, and other external factors, over which Cryptology has no control, can significantly affect these aspects.

  6. TERMINATION AND DELISTING CRITERIA
    1. Termination by Cryptology: Cryptology reserves the right to unilaterally terminate the listing agreement and delist the Token under certain conditions, including but not limited to:

    2. Cryptology shall endeavor, using commercially reasonable efforts, to provide the Project with advance notice of any intended termination or delisting of the Token, detailing the specific reasons for such action.
