Getting your token listed and noticed

The order matters more than the budget. Everything free happens first; you only promote a new token with paid placement once the free surfaces already say something worth reading.

What already lists you, without asking

Locksley builds a token page from on-chain state the moment your pool is created — no form, no fee, no queue, as covered in your token page is born with your token. At the same moment your token enters new tokens, becomes filterable in Explore, and appears in locked at birth if you locked liquidity at pool creation.

Other indexes on the chain work the same way: they read pools, not press releases. Which means the "listing" problem most projects think they have is usually a legibility problem instead. You are already listed. The question is what the listing says.

Make the data worth finding

Discovery on a screener is filtering, not browsing. People sort and filter by depth, age, lock state, holder spread and volume, and your token either survives those filters or it does not. How to find new tokens first is that workflow written from the buyer's side, and reading it is the fastest way to understand what your token looks like to a stranger.

Four things move you through more filters than any amount of copy:

Liquidity depth that supports real trade sizes. Thin pools get filtered out early, and the filter is not personal. Depth also determines whether your headline valuation means anything — market cap vs liquidity is the pair most new projects get wrong in public.

A liquidity lock with a real release date. Lock state is a first-class filter on Locksley and elsewhere, so it changes which lists you appear in. Lock liquidity, step by step covers the transaction itself. As of —pending, —pending of new Robinhood Chain launches locked liquidity at creation, per Locksley's contract reads — that is the field you are filtered against.

A holder spread you can explain. Concentration is visible whether or not anyone asks about it.

Supply behavior that is settled. Whether the mint function can still issue more supply is one of the first things a careful buyer checks. Tokenomics that don't look like a rug covers how that screening actually works.

If you launch without one, the empty field is what a stranger reads first, and it does not read as neutral: "No lock found" means we found none — not that none exists. Locksley does not yet index every locker.

Earn the organic surfaces

Beyond your own page, three organic surfaces are worth working, in this order.

Trending and volume-driven lists. Trending tokens is computed from live trading activity, not editorial choice, which means it cannot be pitched and does not need to be. Real volume is the only input.

News and coverage that names you. Anything that names your project and links your contract address builds the association between your token and its identity across the whole index. Publish your own contract address, supply and lock details in a place that will not change, and reference the same numbers everywhere.

Community channels where addresses travel. The unit of currency in on-chain communities is a verifiable address, not a slogan. Post the address, the pool, the lock and its release timestamp, and let people check for themselves.

Timing matters too: the first days set the pattern buyers see later. Your token's first 48 hours covers what to monitor and answer in that window, and the Robinhood Chain launch checklist puts the whole sequence in order.

Then, labeled promotion

When you have done the free work, paid placement can put your token in front of a wider audience. Locksley sells labeled sponsor slots, and The Crypto App — a sister distribution product — carries labeled placements to its own audience. You can promote a token on Robinhood Chain through either.

The policy is worth stating exactly, because it defines what your money buys and what it cannot:

We charge for the doing, never for the reporting. Paying never changes how a token's data displays.

Concretely: a paid placement is marked as a placement, sits in slots reserved for placements, and reaches people who would not otherwise have seen your token. It does not move you up a ranking, does not alter your lock panel, does not change how depth or holder concentration render, and does not remove anything from your page. Trending stays computed from volume. Screener sorts stay computed from chain data. Locksley is built by TrustSwap and powered by Team Finance, and that relationship changes nothing about how any token's data displays either.

Buy promotion when you have something legible to promote. Sending traffic to a page whose numbers do not hold up is the most expensive way to find out they do not.

Frequently asked questions

“No lock found” means we found none, not that none exists: we do not index other lockers yet, and it is never a claim about the project.
