What should be ready around T-60?
Around T-60, the team should agree on what the token launch is meant to accomplish and what has to be true before promotion begins. This is the point to turn broad ambitions into a brief that marketing, product, legal and operations can all use.
Write down the launch window, token purpose, intended audience, supported channels and the person authorized to approve public claims. Then check that the project can explain its token and product in plain language. If those explanations conflict across the website, documents and social accounts, resolve the mismatch before adding reach.
Use this foundation checklist:
- Confirm the token name, ticker, chain and official project links.
- Assign an owner for marketing, community, product updates and approvals.
- List open decisions, dependencies and the person responsible for each.
- Agree how the team will respond to questions it cannot answer yet.
A useful test is whether a new team member can find the approved description, current launch status and escalation contact without asking around. If not, create a shared launch brief first. For the broader planning context, see token launch and growth and token launch marketing.
How do you shape the story and channel plan?
A strong launch story gives people a clear reason to understand the project without asking them to accept claims the team cannot support. Before scheduling promotion, write one concise project description, a fuller explanation of the product, and answers to likely questions about the token’s role and launch process.
Map each channel to a purpose. The website can hold durable reference information; X can carry timely updates; Telegram can support ongoing community conversation; and creators or media can introduce the project to audiences that fit its subject. These are different jobs, so do not paste one message everywhere without adapting its format and context.
For every planned communication, record:
- Audience and intended action, such as reading a guide or joining an update channel.
- Approved claims, source material and any required disclosure.
- Draft owner, reviewer, publication window and destination link.
- A fallback message if a milestone moves or information is not final.
Set a cadence the team can maintain after launch, not just a burst of announcements. If you plan creator activity, use a written brief and review the fit of each partner before confirming deliverables. The crypto KOL campaign guide covers that workflow, while Telegram community growth helps with channel planning.
Which listing and profile tasks belong before launch?
Treat each listing, verification or visibility opportunity as its own preparation track. Build a single source folder with the project description, token details, official links, logo files, supporting documentation and a contact who can answer follow-up questions. Keep a record of what has been submitted, where it was sent and whether any information needs updating.
Do not assume that a profile submission and a marketing announcement are interchangeable. A public listing profile should be accurate and consistent with the project’s own materials; promotional copy should make its purpose and destination clear. Review both on mobile and desktop, check that links resolve to the intended pages, and make sure the community knows which accounts and websites are official.
| Workstream | Prepare | Check before publishing |
|---|---|---|
| CoinGecko | Project and token information, official links, supporting materials | Details match the project’s public references |
| CoinMarketCap | Project information, links and submission materials | Contact details and token references are current |
| DEX visibility | Correct pair or token references and project profiles | Links lead to the intended token and project pages |
Platform processes and submitted materials can change, so consult the current platform instructions when preparing an application. See the guides to CoinGecko listing preparation and CoinMarketCap listing preparation for platform-specific checklists.
What belongs on the T-30 to T-1 checklist?
From T-30 to T-1, shift from planning into rehearsal: confirm that every launch-day message, destination and owner is ready to use. This stage is less about adding new channels and more about finding gaps while the team still has time to fix them.
Walk through the launch as a reader would. Open the website, social profiles, community channels and any planned campaign links. Check that the same token name, ticker and launch information appear consistently. Make sure scheduled content has an approval record and that the person publishing it has the correct final version.
Use a short readiness review:
- Can the team explain what is confirmed, what is pending and where updates will appear?
- Are the launch-day roles and approval contact easy to find?
- Is there a prepared response for incorrect links, changed timing or a confusing public claim?
- Can someone outside the core team follow the project’s official links without help?
Keep one launch document as the working reference rather than distributing last-minute edits across chats. Record unresolved issues visibly and decide whether each one blocks publication, requires a revised message or can be handled after launch. For an additional community setup checklist, see how to set up a crypto Discord server.
How should the team coordinate launch day?
Launch day works best when every public action has an owner, a destination and a clear relationship to the live project status. Use a run-of-show that lists the order of communications, who publishes each item, who checks links and who can pause or revise a message if facts change.
Keep the first update direct: state what has happened, point to the official source of information and tell readers where they can follow subsequent updates. Avoid publishing multiple versions of an announcement across channels before the core facts are confirmed. A single approved source makes it easier for the community and partners to share accurate information.
The run-of-show can include:
- Final project announcement and the page it points to.
- Community update with a named contact for questions.
- Creator or media posts, with their agreed format and disclosure.
- A check that public links, profile details and pinned information remain current.
- A handoff note for the person managing questions after the initial announcement.
Have someone capture the time and destination of each completed action in the launch log. That record makes later review practical: the team can see what was published, identify confusing moments and update materials based on real questions rather than assumptions.
What should happen from T+1 to T+30?
The first month after launch should turn attention into reliable project communication. Keep publishing product progress, clarify recurring questions and direct the community to maintained sources rather than letting old launch posts become the only reference point.
Use a weekly review rhythm to compare planned work with what was actually delivered. Record which questions keep appearing, which links people need and where the project description causes confusion. Then make specific edits to the FAQ, website or community guidance. Separate communication observations from token-market movement; this checklist is for marketing operations, not a promise of trading outcomes.
A practical follow-up list includes:
- Publish updates only when the underlying information is confirmed.
- Refresh outdated pinned posts, profile text and campaign destinations.
- Review creator and media deliverables against the agreed brief.
- Collect community questions and route product or operational issues to owners.
- Decide which activities should continue, change or close after the first month.
Keep the launch log and final materials together so the next campaign starts with a clear record. For related planning, explore post-launch token support and crypto press release preparation.
Where do platform decisions sit outside the launch team?
A checklist can improve preparation and coordination, but it cannot decide how an external platform handles a submission or how a listing or visibility feature appears. CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap make their own listing and profile decisions, while DEXScreener and DEXTools control how their interfaces display project information; a campaign can deliver only the agreed work, not a platform outcome. Build your schedule with room for review, keep submissions accurate, and avoid communicating a pending decision as confirmed.
Before approving a campaign, check the current rules and instructions for the exact platform and format. Make sure the team can show what was submitted, what was published and which links or placements were delivered. Where a platform provides a status or public profile, record what can be verified there and distinguish it from activity carried out through your own channels.
This separation also helps when a platform profile needs correction: preserve the current details, identify the specific discrepancy and prepare evidence that supports the requested change. The CoinGecko profile remediation guide and token supply verification guide cover those distinct tasks.

How it works
- Set the briefShare the token details, launch window, intended audience and approved project description. Mark open decisions and name the people who can approve public materials.
- Map the workTurn the brief into channel, community and platform workstreams. Give each item an owner, a deadline and a destination for its final materials.
- Review readinessCheck message consistency, links, profiles and launch-day roles together. Record corrections in the working checklist rather than leaving them in scattered chats.
- Coordinate publicationUse an agreed run-of-show to coordinate approved updates and capture what was delivered. Keep the project’s official information easy to find.
- Close the loopReview questions, completed deliverables and remaining actions through T+30. Update the project’s reference materials and decide what should continue.
Frequently asked questions
When should we start token launch marketing?
Start when the team can share a working launch window, a clear project description and the decisions that are still open. Beginning around T-60 gives the team room to assign owners, prepare materials and coordinate channels before launch communications need approval. If the date is closer, prioritize accurate project information, official links, roles and a realistic publication plan.
What should we send an agency before discussing a launch campaign?
Send the launch window, token and product overview, official website and social links, audience priorities, materials already approved and a list of unresolved decisions. Include the names of the people who approve public claims and handle product or community questions. That gives the agency enough context to identify gaps without treating tentative details as final.
How do CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap listing preparation differ?
They are separate platform processes, so prepare each submission against its own current instructions rather than assuming one application covers both. Keep project details consistent, but track the materials, submission status and follow-up for each platform independently. The CoinGecko guide and CoinMarketCap guide provide focused preparation steps.
Can a launch campaign guarantee a listing or trending placement?
No. CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap decide how they handle listing submissions, and platforms such as DEXTools and DEXScreener control their own visibility features and displays. A campaign can coordinate accurate materials and deliver the agreed marketing work, but it cannot promise acceptance, ranking or a particular platform position.
What should we prepare for launch day if the date might move?
Keep approved messages modular: separate confirmed project information from the launch timing and any action that depends on it. Name who can pause scheduled communications, prepare a concise update for a changed window and make sure the official channel for revised information is clear. Do not publish a tentative time as confirmed.
What is the most useful thing to measure after launch?
Start with operational evidence: what the team published, whether planned deliverables appeared, which community questions recurred and whether readers could reach the intended project information. Use those observations to improve the FAQ, links and next update. Keep them separate from market outcomes so the review points to work the team can actually change.
