41% of exchange listing departments focus on data platform information completeness. How should project teams respond?

According to the latest news, well-known KOL AB shared the results of a survey from RootData: among users of the project’s query platform, approximately 41% have a direct connection with the exchange’s listing department. This data reflects an important change—the standards for listing approval by exchanges are quietly upgrading, and the completeness of information on public data platforms has become a key factor in exchange evaluations.

Why Do Exchanges Care About Data Platform Information Completeness

From Rating to Trust

The survey shows that the exchange’s listing department generally believes that if a project has missing or severely outdated information on a public data platform, it will directly lower the project’s score and raise doubts about its operational capability. This is not just a formal issue but a reflection of the exchange’s practical considerations regarding the project’s professionalism and transparency.

The Three Layers of Information Completeness

• Operational Capability Indicator: Timely updates indicate that the project team has a professional operations team maintaining the platform
• Transparency Commitment: Complete public information demonstrates respect for the community and sincerity in information disclosure
• Risk Warning: Outdated or missing information may imply operational difficulties or other issues within the project

What This Means for Project Teams

The Hidden Increase in Listing Thresholds

In the past, project listings mainly depended on technical, team, and funding background indicators. Now, the completeness of information on data platforms has become a “soft filter”—seemingly insignificant, but with 41% of exchange listing departments paying attention, it has actually become an important reference in listing evaluations.

Passive vs. Active

Some project teams may not realize this yet and only update information when asked by exchanges. But smart project teams should take the initiative, using mainstream data platforms like RootData as a “showcase” to ensure information is complete, accurate, and updated in a timely manner.

Industry Insights

Transparency Becomes a Competitive Edge

This survey result reflects a major industry trend: the crypto industry is moving from wild growth to more regulated development. Exchanges no longer focus solely on short-term hype but place greater emphasis on the project’s long-term operational ability and information transparency.

The Value of Data Platforms Is Highlighted

Platforms like RootData that provide project query services are becoming an “information bridge” between project teams and exchanges. For project teams, these platforms are not optional but essential channels that must be prioritized.

Summary

The focus of exchange listing departments on data platform information completeness essentially reflects the industry’s emphasis on operational transparency. For project teams, this is a clear signal: treat maintaining public data platform information as part of daily operations. Not only can it improve exchange scores, but it also helps build community trust. In today’s increasingly competitive listing environment, information completeness is becoming an implicit but crucial competitive indicator.
