"No listing fee" ≠ free: Binance HODLer Airdrops in 2025 actually asked projects for 0.65%-5% of token supply (median 1.5% across 49 announcements); Launchpool 1.5-4%; Megadrop examples at 4% and 7%. The airdrop/marketing token budget in the agreement is the real price.
Anti-scam essentials (official positions)
- Binance (2025-12-17): only founders/core team may apply with KYC; any intermediary means disqualification and blacklisting. Seven blacklisted agents published; up to $5M bounty for reporting fakes.
- "Guaranteed listing" = scam, no exceptions. Kraken and Bitget likewise state no paid fast-track and no external agencies.
- Exchanges expect a named market maker and a full unlock schedule — the two most common sticking points.
