Listing offer check

Check a listing offer before you pay

An agent promises a listing on MEXC, LBank, Gate or Bitget, or a "market making package", and wants money up front. Send us the offer. Within one business day you get a written answer: what that listing is reported to cost, which parts of the offer are red flags, and exactly what to ask before any money moves.

$79per offer

Paid in BTC, Lightning or USDT by invoice. Full refund if we do not deliver within one business day of payment.

What you send

  • The offer itself: the message, the deck, the invoice or screenshots. Hide names if you want; keep the numbers.
  • Who you would actually pay: the exchange's own entity or an intermediary.
  • Your token, its chain, and where it trades today.
  • The deadline you were given. Pressure to pay fast is part of what we check.

What you get back

  • A price check. What intermediaries have reported for that venue and that package, with the source and date of each figure, and where your quote sits against it.
  • Venue status. Whether the exchange still operates, and whether it serves your region. Some venues closed or stopped serving the EU this year.
  • Red flags, named plainly. Payment to a personal wallet. No agreement signed by the exchange. A "guaranteed" CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap listing. Volume services, which are market manipulation. A market-making loan with no written strike or return date.
  • The questions to send back before you pay anything.
  • A verdict: go ahead, ask first, or walk away, with the reason.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell listings, make introductions or take commissions from exchanges, market makers or agents. Ever. Who pays whom.
  • We do not contact the agent or the exchange on your behalf, and we do not publish your offer.
  • We never ask for keys, seed phrases or exchange logins. Anyone who does is not us.
  • This is a written comparison against public data, not legal or investment advice, and not a promise of any listing or price.

Why this exists

Exchanges do not publish listing tariffs, so most small teams buy listings through people who say they can get them in. Some deliver. Some take a deposit and disappear. Binance itself states that it charges no fees for project evaluations or listing applications and offers a bounty for reports of fake listing agents. We keep a public, sourced database of what launches actually cost. A check puts your offer next to it before the money leaves.
