- Binance empowers users with a “Vote to List” and “Vote to Delist” system, ensuring transparency and community-driven decision-making in token listings.
- Projects must engage users to secure listings, while inactive or questionable tokens face removal through Binance’s Monitoring Zone process.
Binance is reshaping how digital assets get listed on its platform, handing more influence to its community. With a fresh “Vote to List” and “Vote to Delist” system, users now have a direct say in which tokens stay and which ones exit, according to Binance’s recent report on March 7. The announcement signals a major transformation in governance, aiming to foster transparency and user engagement.
Binance is enhancing its listing mechanism and introducing its new Community Co-Governance Mechanism for Listings.

Since its inception in 2017, Binance has prioritized user feedback, and this latest move is a nod to its community-driven approach. With listing budgets now disclosed in public announcements and airdropped directly to users, Binance reinforces its commitment to fair participation. The exchange, notably, continues to reject listing fees, differentiating itself from competitors.
Projects seeking entry into Binance’s ecosystem must now appeal to the community just like Pi coin got 86% voters endorsement, as reported earlier. If a project receives enough votes and passes due diligence, it will secure a spot on the platform. Binance users holding at least 0.01 BNB in their master accounts are eligible to participate in these votes. More details on implementation are expected soon.
Delisting Power in Users’ Hands
While the community can push promising projects forward, it can also weed out underperforming tokens. The “Vote to Delist” mechanism empowers users to remove projects that lack updates, exhibit inactive communities, or engage in questionable token supply practices. Binance will place such tokens in its Monitoring Zone before they face delisting decisions.
“Introducing “Vote to List” and “Vote to Delist” mechanisms to enable greater community participation and give users a stronger voice in the listing process,” the report said.
Transparency extends beyond community votes. Projects that fail to provide crucial token data will also find themselves in the Monitoring Zone. Binance users with at least 0.01 BNB in their accounts can vote to delist assets, although finer details on the process are still under wraps.
These measures reflect Binance’s broader goal: ensuring its marketplace remains vibrant, trustworthy, and filled with high-potential assets. Projects now have greater incentives to maintain transparency and engagement to avoid slipping into the Monitoring Zone.
Binance’s Token Access Revamp — More Paths, More Rewards
Beyond the voting system, Binance is refining how new tokens reach users. Through mechanisms like Launchpool, Megadrop, and HODLer Airdrops, the platform provides multiple ways for users to access emerging tokens without direct purchases.
Launchpool lets users earn tokens by locking in BNB or other assets, while Megadrop combines Binance Simple Earn with Binance Wallet to offer rewards through Web3 interactions. The HODLer Airdrop system rewards long-term holders based on snapshots of their BNB balances in Binance Earn.
Additionally, direct spot listings remain an option for well-established projects, giving them immediate exposure to Binance’s vast user base. The newly introduced Pre-Market Trading feature allows early access to Launchpool tokens, removing previous price cap mechanisms and letting users take early positions before official listings.
Alpha Observation Zone
The Binance Wallet Alpha Observation Zone is another key aspect of the revamped listing process. This section highlights emerging and high-interest tokens, particularly those experiencing significant market fluctuations. Projects that launch their Token Generation Events (TGE) exclusively on Binance Wallet will receive priority access to this space.
While inclusion in the Alpha Zone does not guarantee a full listing, it provides a visibility boost and evaluation grounds for Binance’s listing team. However, if interest in Alpha Zone tokens declines, Binance may remove multiple tokens simultaneously, reinforcing the importance of sustained market demand.
