What do Korean exchanges check before listing?
Korean crypto exchange listing due diligence usually means checking whether the project’s claims, records, and operating details can be reviewed and understood. Treat the categories below as a preparation map, not a published checklist shared by every venue.
- Project identity: legal entity name, responsible contacts, project history, and official communication channels.
- Token design: purpose, network, contract details, supply, allocation, and release schedule.
- Technology and security: contract documentation, audit materials if available, and known incidents or changes.
- Market and operations: where the token trades, how users access it, and who handles support and disclosures.
- Risk communication: material limitations, dependencies, and information holders should not have to infer.
Start with a single source of truth for each item. If the website, presentation, token documentation, and public posts describe different supplies or responsibilities, resolve the mismatch before outreach. Reviewers need a clear route from a claim to its supporting record. Use plain language for the project overview and retain technical detail for questions that require it.
Which project and token records should you prepare?
Prepare records that make it possible to trace the project’s identity, token structure, and key claims. Completeness matters more than document volume; each file should have a clear purpose and an owner who can answer questions about it.
- Project profile: entity and team information, official links, product status, and a contact responsible for exchange communication.
- Token reference: network, contract address, token purpose, supply definition, allocation categories, and unlock schedule.
- Supporting material: technical documentation, security assessments if available, and records of relevant contract updates.
- Disclosure set: known risks, dependencies, material changes, and the channel through which updates are published.
- Evidence index: file name, what it supports, last review date, and the person responsible for corrections.
Check every number and proper noun against the authoritative source before sending a package. If a figure changed, explain what changed and when rather than silently replacing an older file. Do not label an assessment as an audit unless that is what the document actually represents. A concise, internally consistent package makes follow-up easier and reduces the chance that different team members answer the same question differently.
How should you explain tokenomics and project operations?
Explain tokenomics as a set of verifiable relationships: how supply is defined, who controls each allocation, and what events can change circulating availability. Avoid relying on promotional summaries when a reviewer may need a precise answer.
- State the total supply and explain whether the figure can change.
- Identify allocation categories and the entity or wallet responsible for each one.
- Describe vesting and unlock terms in language that matches the underlying documents.
- Explain administrative controls, contract permissions, and any planned migrations or upgrades.
- Name the person who can confirm an operational detail or provide the source record.
For operational questions, map each function to an owner: contract maintenance, security contact, user support, public announcements, and incident communication. If a function is handled by a third party, state that relationship accurately and identify what your team controls. Keep the same terminology across the whitepaper, website, and application materials. For questions about an exchange’s application process, prepare to provide supporting documents rather than assuming one public form covers every review. Related centralized exchange listing support can help organize the outreach work and submission materials.
How can a team prepare for Korean exchange follow-up questions?
Prepare for follow-up by making answers traceable, assigning owners, and separating confirmed facts from open items. This lets the project respond consistently without implying that every venue uses the same application sequence.
- Build the Launch Spec: summarize the project, token, responsible contacts, and supporting documents in one working brief.
- Run a Spec Review: compare the brief with public materials and identify conflicts, missing sources, or unclear terms.
- Assign question owners: route legal, technical, token, and communications questions to people with direct knowledge.
- Record each response: keep the question, answer, evidence link, owner, and any follow-up action together.
- Refresh the package: update affected files when facts change, and make clear which version is current.
Before outreach, check that links work, contract details are copied correctly, and the project’s official channels are controlled by the team. Prepare a short explanation of the product’s status and what users can do now; distinguish available functionality from roadmap plans. If Korean-language materials are part of the application, use a reviewer who can check technical meaning as well as fluency. For local communications planning, Korean KOL campaign support is a separate channel, not a substitute for accurate application evidence.
What questions should teams ask a Korean venue?
Ask the venue to clarify its current application route and what it expects your team to provide. A direct answer is more useful than inferring requirements from another project’s experience or from an outdated checklist.
- Is there a current application channel or an assigned contact for initial inquiries?
- Which project, token, entity, and technical records should be included at the first stage?
- Does the venue want documents in a particular language or format?
- How should the team submit corrections or respond to questions after the initial package?
- Which details should be kept current if token, contract, or project information changes?
Keep questions brief and factual. Ask for clarification when a term is ambiguous, and confirm important instructions in writing. Do not send sensitive materials through an unverified contact; confirm that the channel belongs to the venue before sharing confidential information. The project can control the accuracy, organization, and responsiveness of its submission. The venue controls its own review scope, requests, eligibility assessment, and listing decision; neither a preparation service nor a complete document pack can promise acceptance or a particular review outcome.
What should happen after the due diligence package is ready?
Once the package is consistent, use it as a maintained record rather than a one-time application attachment. Assign one person to keep source documents current and coordinate answers whenever the project’s facts change.
| Work area | Team action | Useful record |
|---|---|---|
| Token details | Recheck supply, allocation, and unlock descriptions | Current token reference |
| Technical evidence | Confirm contract and security materials match the deployed setup | Technical source index |
| Public disclosures | Align website and documents on material project facts | Approved disclosure copy |
| Reviewer questions | Route each request to an accountable owner | Question and response log |
If the exchange identifies a profile inconsistency, correct the source material first and then update the affected public profiles. Listing profile remediation can support that cleanup, while token information and logo updates in explorers address a separate visibility task. These services help with defined preparation or profile work; they do not replace the venue’s own assessment. Send AEOTech the project overview, token reference, current public links, and any questions already received. We can review the materials, identify gaps, and propose a scoped next step.
Frequently asked questions
Do all Korean exchanges use the same token due diligence checklist?
No. Treat general categories such as project identity, token details, technical information, and disclosures as preparation areas, not as one official checklist for every venue. Ask the specific exchange which submission route and records it currently expects, then tailor your package to that request.
Should we translate the application materials into Korean?
Ask the venue what language and format it accepts before commissioning a full translation. If Korean-language materials are requested or useful for communication, have a qualified reviewer check token terms, technical descriptions, and legal names against the source documents. Keep one approved version as the reference so translations do not introduce conflicting details.
What should we do if our token supply figures differ across documents?
Pause and reconcile the figures against the authoritative token records before sending the package. Identify whether the difference reflects a changed definition, an updated allocation, or an error; then correct affected materials and explain material changes directly. Do not leave reviewers to infer which figure is current.
Can a complete due diligence package guarantee a Korean exchange listing?
No. A specific venue controls its review scope, follow-up requests, eligibility assessment, and final listing decision. A well-organized package can make your project’s evidence easier to verify, but it cannot determine how that venue evaluates the application or what decision it makes.
