# Listing checklist ### Distribution date The listing time should be the next day or at least 2 hours after the IDO sale. There are technically too many things like claiming that can go wrong. People don't like if the schedule is off, it is perceived as unprofessionalism / lacking of technical prowess and that will have its effect on the price of the token at the listing and thereby the price of TPAD as well. Better profits IDOs make to investors, more investors trust TrustPad. ### Other rules * Tokens must be locked from all kind of transactions, swapping, staking, LP creation etc. until the launch block. Ideally that needs to be written in the contract itself. This would allow to avoid problems like when someone provides the liquidity before the official team therefore affecting the price. * Token pairs must be announced with a right Dextool link right after the launch. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
