Rarity is the confidence level of the source. Legendary means a primary document: a court filing, a regulator or an on-chain governance vote. Burned means a conviction or a regulator's fraud charges.

Set the terms your desk proposed. Defaults are the market median across the collection: 12 months, strike 50 percent over TGE, retainer benchmark from a public GSR proposal.

kept by the desk against a strike of $0.15. A retainer for the same 12 months: $240,000.
Intrinsic value at exit, not a Black-Scholes price: assumes the desk exercises whenever the price clears the strike. Ignores volatility, the desk's own trading and any profit share. Not financial advice.
Listings
What a listing actually requires
Twenty venues from tier 1 to entry level. The requirement checklist is open, the money is not. One row is fully public because a US regulatory filing forced it into the open.

Showing 13 of 20 venues. Fees are reported ranges from public sources, not tariffs published by the exchanges. Two Korean venues carry allegations of intermediary payments that the exchange publicly denies; those records are labelled disputed. See methodology.
Heading to a tier 2 or tier 3 venue on a tight budget? Most of a $50k to $120k launch budget buys a ticket, not an outcome. A Launch check shows which of your costs actually move anything, and what the desk's option will cost you, before you sign.

Incentives
Who pays the people publishing launch costs
Most launch cost guides are written by someone selling the launch. That is a business model, not a scandal. It is still worth knowing whose numbers you are reading.
Listing agencies
Publish a cost page for every exchange. One of the largest states on its own pricing page that it charges projects $0 on most exchanges because it receives a commission from the exchange.
Paid by: the exchanges listing.help pricing →
Market makers
Publish launch budget guides and offer to build your budget for free. The same firms sell the market making and listing support the budget includes.
Paid by: the projects they trade for motiontrade.com services →
TGE Index
Sells data and written reviews to the team making the decision. Takes no money from exchanges, market makers, auditors or launchpads: no paid profiles, no placement, no affiliate links. Corrections are free for everyone.
Paid by: you, and only you How we source and what we refuse →Descriptions of other firms are taken from their own public pages as of 12 September 2026.
