# Token Listing Process

Tokenomist’s token coverage is curated with accuracy and transparency in mind. Every token goes through a clear process of criteria checks, data collection, and a final review before being published.

We use a combination of manual research, AI-driven analysis, and project collaboration to ensure the data we display is both reliable and up to date.

## Listing Criteria

Before any token is considered for listing, it must meet a basic set of criteria:

* **Verifiable vesting or release schedules**, in the form of publicly accessible official docs, announcements, or smart contracts, etc.
* **Sufficient market presence** through exchange listings, liquidity, or established community.
* **Relevance to Tokenomist users**, such as tokens with medium to high market cap or by user request

Additionally, **listing priority is determined internally at the discretion of employees only**. These criteria ensure we focus on tokens where supply and tokenomics data have real market impact.

## Listing Methods

Below are the primary ways tokens are added to our platform:

### Human Listings

Our data team manually verifies and adds new tokens on an ongoing basis. This involves a member of our team

* **Reviewing** official project documentation (whitepapers, blog posts, governance forums).
* **Cross-referencing** with on-chain data and trusted third-party sources.
* In many cases, **reaching out** to confirm or request details from token project teams.

Manual listings are especially important for high-profile projects, where accuracy and transparency are critical. Each listing is **triple-checked for accuracy**, and only after approval is it published on the platform.

We aim to list tokens with verifiable references acquired from official sources that contain **accurate**, **up to date tokenomics**. A listing **may be reconsidered if it contains vague or incomplete tokenomics, contradictory information**, or provides vesting in **a format that cannot be reliably extracted**.

As part of our data policy, our data team will reach out to token projects before any big unlocks to reverify our release schedule with them. It is at the discretion of these projects to respond to our inquiries.

### AI-Assisted Listings

AI is used to accelerate the discovery and structuring of tokenomics data, but **it does not replace human review**. Its role is to make the process more efficient and ensure no project with available information is overlooked.

AI tools help us surface and structure new data faster by

* **Scanning** announcements and sources for vesting details.
* **Extracting** allocations into a structured format.
* **Highlighting** inconsistencies for human follow-up.

**AI never lists tokens automatically**. We validate the data, confirms details against official sources, and approves the token before it goes live. This ensures AI speeds up the process without compromising data quality or trustworthiness.

Tokens listed by AI will be labeled as such on their token pages.

### Self-Listing (For Projects)

Projects can also self-list by submitting tokenomics and release data directly to Tokenomist. This ensures the most accurate and timely information is published.

When submitting, teams are asked to provide:

* **Detailed vesting schedules** and **allocation breakdowns**.
* **Relevant wallet addresses** for verification purposes.
* Any **supplementary documentation** that supports the provided data.

Our data team then

* **Verifies** the submission against publicly data (where possible).
* **Checks** for clarity, consistency, and completeness.
* **Standardizes** the information to align with Tokenomist’s frameworks.

Even though the data comes directly from projects, **all self-submitted listings are audited by our data team before publication**. If inconsistencies are found, our team will work with the project to resolve them before the listing goes live.&#x20;

**Tokenomist reserves full discretion over which projects are listed**. We do not support or promote scam tokens, and any project failing to meet our standards for accuracy, legitimacy, or transparency will not be published.
