It provides all sort of data needed by a trader for trading and also contains adequate data to be used by cryptoenthusiasts for research and analysis.

How or when Coinmarketcap.com decides to list a Coin? (This is for your own study and research, you can explain as per your findings but it should be in your own words and not from a direct source and provide a link for it)

---

I have done some research on this from HERE . Let me try to put it in my own words.

Before a coin gets listed, it must meet following criterias :

• it must have a well established and integrated blockchain to back up like consensus algorithm, hashing algorithms, P2P network, block exploler etc.

• For any coin to flourish in market, we would like to find details about that coin from official website or decentralised application. Isn't it. So these criterias are also sought by coinmarketcap.

• As a matrer of common understanding, for a token be traded an exchange is must. So coonmarketcap demands a coin to have a good trading volume and that too on one of the exchanges ( atleast) listed on coinmarketcap.

• Must have a representative to establish communication with coinmarketcap so that any data needed may be asked for. Also the team at work must be professionally sound.

• Must have good user base and significant number of trading pairs. Good user base fosters listing because that signifies the community attention and trust the project has been able to develop. Significant trading pairs facilitate faster adoption of cryptos.

• Must be innovative project which is likely to have wider adoption based on its diverse utility and simplicity.

Once a coin meets all these criterias, then the project representatives have to fill an online form that doesn't require any fee for submission with all the necessary details requesting listing of coin on the coinmarketcap. The form must be complete in every aspect to be considered for review. In case of any inadequate information, coins may be added to untracked listings (inactive, untracked, unverified). Application form has to be submitted only once and wait for review and verification by web service provider. Coinmarketcap does not like to be spammed or intimidated by any means. Behave Behave professionally and comply with the terms of service so as to get token added to tracked listing.

---

This is for your self-research and studies, How or when do coinmaemetcap lost an Exchange?

---

As for listing of exchanges is concerned, the process will remain same but the criterias to be looked for in exchange will obviously be different. So the process has to start from submission of a single online form demanding no fee , followed by evaluation of the exchange criteria based on framework of the coinmarketcap . After meeting all the criterias, the exchange will be listed in tracking list of exchanges with all the features as discussed above. So we are left to discuss the features that an exchange must meet to qualify for listing on coinmarketcap. Here are the features;

• Exchanges that have been functional for at least two months without any name change are only applicable. If an exchange has subjected to any name change then the exchange must complete two months with that name before submitting an application form.

• An exchange must have a functional website that provides comprehensive data of each listed crypto that is verifiable and matching the data of API.

• The listed ccypto pairs and the necessary information must be publicly accessible. Exchange must not demand any personal information from user ro access such data.

• Centralised exchanges must have an order book to enlist buy or sell orders along with the traded volume and other necessary data accessible to the traders while as in case of decentralization exchange, coinmarketcap is authorised to verify individual user case before enlisting it.

• Representative to communicate with and a team of professionally sound people would foster listing.

• Some procedural formalities like links to individual assets, trading pairs, list of total assets etc must be fulfilled.
