Step-by-step
Mint your SPL token on MakeMeACoin and revoke authorities.
Create Raydium CPMM liquidity so market data feeds are live.
Collect: mint address, website, whitepaper (optional), socials, exchange/pool URLs.
Open support.coinmarketcap.com and open a "Request To Add Cryptoasset" ticket.
Submit all fields carefully — CMC rejects incomplete or inconsistent metadata.
Wait 2–8 weeks. Track progress via ticket, do not open duplicates.
Common mistakes
Believing "guaranteed CMC listing" ads — CMC has no such official product.
Submitting with active mint authority, no LP, or thin socials — auto-rejected.
Providing mismatched name/ticker between mint metadata and application form.
Applying too early — no market data means no way for CMC to verify legitimacy.
