# Pre List On Alto

Alto is a next-generation decentralized exchange that prioritizes alignment, quality, and integrity at launch.

We're inviting a small number of projects that best embody innovation, utility, and community strength to become founding listings on the Alto Spot DEX as part of a limited-access Pre-Listing Program before our full launch.

This program showcases the most reputable projects in the ecosystem right away and provides early access to Alto's trading infrastructure, marketing visibility, and shared revenue mechanics.

***

### **Why Pre-List on Alto?**

#### **1. Curated Prestige**

During the early rollout, only the best projects will be highlighted.\
To partners and investors alike, being one of the first listings on Alto conveys innovation, trust, and community strength.

#### **2. Shared Value Creation**

Alto’s model rewards aligned growth:

* Projects receive **20% of all trading fees** from their pairs.
* Investors share in **20% of trading fees** through reward pools.
* Alto retains the remaining 60% to reinvest in development, liquidity, and ecosystem expansion.

Your project earns as your community trades — building sustainable liquidity, not temporary hype.

#### **3. Direct Investor Rewards**

Investors earn rewards from every trade they make on Alto:

* Rewards accumulate automatically and are visible in the investor dashboard.
* Payout options include stablecoins (e.g., USDC), your project’s token, or Alto’s native token when live.\
  This reinforces active engagement and recurring trading volume for your market.

#### **4. Partnership Visibility**

* Featured spot on Alto’s homepage and launch campaign materials.
* Spotlight inclusion in the *“Pre-Listed Partner Showcase”* (social + PR exposure).
* Access to marketing collaborations with the Alto team during the mainnet launch window.

***

### **How It Works**

#### **Step 1 — Application**

Submit a **Pre-List Application** including:

* Project name and token information
* Proposed liquidity allocation for your pair (e.g., TOKEN/USDC)
* Tokenomics overview (including any buy/sell taxes)
* Team and community details
* Vision for long-term integration with Alto

Applications are reviewed based on quality, innovation, and alignment with Alto’s ethical and technical standards.

> 🧭 **Tip:** Projects with strong liquidity, transparent tokenomics, and active communities are prioritized.

***

#### **Step 2 — Liquidity Commitment**

Approved partners provide liquidity for their initial trading pair.\
This ensures:

* Smooth trading experience from day one
* Demonstrated project confidence and alignment with Alto’s ethos
* Eligibility for early-trading campaigns and shared-fee rewards

***

#### **Step 3 — Integration & Go-Live**

Once approved and liquidity is locked:

* The project’s pair goes live on the **Alto Spot DEX**
* A partner page is created, featuring:
  * Token overview
  * Reward breakdowns
  * Real-time volume and liquidity analytics

Your token becomes part of the first wave of assets powering Alto’s ecosystem.

### **Fee Distribution Model**

| Party               | Fee Share | Description                                  |
| ------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Alto**            | 60%       | Platform development, liquidity, maintenance |
| **Investors**       | 20%       | Distributed through trading reward pools     |
| **Partner Project** | 20%       | Shared earnings from your market activity    |

**Example:**\
If your pair generates $3,000 in trading fees over one week:

* $1,800 → Alto
* $600 → Investors
* $600 → Project Team

***

### **Token Tax Compliance**

Projects must disclose any existing buy/sell tax when applying.\
Alto enforces consistent, transparent trading rules:

* Taxes cannot exceed the original declared rates.
* Projects may lower or whitelist tax for Alto trading to improve market efficiency.
* If a tax exemption isn’t possible, the DEX can adjust its routing fee to maintain fairness.

> ✅ This guarantees seamless trading without undermining the project’s tokenomics integrity.

***

### **Benefits Recap**

#### **For Projects**

* Curated launch on a high-integrity DEX
* Shared fee revenue and immediate liquidity
* Marketing exposure and brand validation
* Alignment with a next-generation trading platform

#### **For Investors**
