A listing review starts with a fast triage. A busy team spends two or three minutes deciding whether your project is worth a real evaluation. The one-pager you attach to that first email is what carries you into the next round or gets you filed away. This guide covers what belongs on it.
This is about the short document you send alongside a listing form or a warm intro — not the exchange's own due-diligence questionnaire, which comes later and is much longer. The goal of the one-pager is to answer a reviewer's first questions before they have to ask them.
| Section | What to put in it |
|---|---|
| Header | Project name, token ticker, one-line description, network(s), contract address(es) |
| What it does | 2–3 sentences a non-specialist reviewer understands; the problem and the mechanism |
| Traction | TVL / volume / users / revenue, each with an "as of" date and a link to a public source (DefiLlama, explorer, dashboard) |
| Token utility | What the token is used for on-chain today, and what is planned with rough timing |
| Supply & distribution | Total supply, current circulating, allocation table, vesting schedule, next major unlock date and size |
| Market & liquidity | Current listings (CEX/DEX), 24h volume, pool depth, market makers engaged |
| Compliance | Legal entity and jurisdiction, legal opinion on token status if you have one, audit firm and date, KYC/AML posture |
| Team & backers | Named team or explained pseudonymity, notable investors, treasury runway |
| Contact | A named person, an email that is monitored, and links: site, docs, GitHub, audit, X |
One page if you can, two at most. Anything longer belongs in an appendix or a data room.
Listing teams read hundreds of these. Confident and specific beats promotional. Drop the adjectives, keep the numbers, and be upfront about the weak spots — a known risk stated plainly is far less damaging than the same risk discovered later. If your float is thin or your audit is mid-remediation, say so and say what you are doing about it.
The general token one-pager guide covers the base structure, the tokenomics section guide goes deep on supply and vesting, and the free generator produces a first-draft skeleton you can adapt for a listing submission.
