FAQ (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

What kind of startups do you accept?

We accept high-quality crypto startups who have product-market fit and who have significant traction. Often, these projects will have a valuation between $50 million and $500 million. Ideally, projects will be 2-6 months away from launching on an exchange, so we can offer the most added value.

What do you expect in return for your services?

We generally take 0.5-3% of the token supply in exchange for our services, depending on your valuation. The value of the marketing and media products that CoinMarketCap offers are included in the program package. Users' rewards for certain campaigns need to be provided by the project.
