Token Listing Criteria

In this decentralized realm, we sought all the treasures for you. Nevertheless, please stay vigilant and be aware that you are trading at your own risk.

On Arken Finance, users can import and swap any coin in the market even it is not officially listed by the platform.
Please be noted that anyone can create a token, including creating fake versions of existing tokens that claim to represent projects. By importing external tokens as your custom tokens, users should note that you are aware to trade at your own risk.
Token Listing Criteria at Arken Finance.
The following criteria are designed to set the standards for how we evaluate digital assets to be part of our listing with our customers' best interests in mind. We do not, in any way, endorse tokens/projects/protocols and we reserve the absolute right to list, not to list, and de-list any token for trading regardless of how it met the standards specified in this criteria. Arken Finance reserves the right to change or improve the listing criteria over time.

There are 3 principles to guide our decision-making process before approving the listing:
1.Credibility: Is the project able to substantiate its case with supporting evidence.
2.Community - Does the project has an engaged, active community of followers that can indicate a product’s long-term strength.
3.In-place funding / TVL - Tokens submitted show a credible amount of TVL and trading activities.
