Smart Contract Development Requirements for Top Exchanges
A successful exchange listing begins with quality smart contract development. Your development team should guide you through token design and key functionalities:
- Token Supply: Determine the optimal total supply.
- Staking & Vesting: Plan lock-up periods and distribution schedules.
- Functionality: Decide critical features (e.g., pausable contracts)—some exchanges reject pausable tokens due to security policies.
- Exchange Compliance: Adhere to ERC-20, BEP-20, or other standards required by exchanges.

Poorly written contracts often need full rewrites, delaying audits and costing 2–3x more. Invest in experienced developers upfront to avoid pitfalls.
Case Study: Saving AXPR $50,000+ After a KuCoin Hack
When KuCoin was hacked in 2020, CyberUnit.Tech helped AXPR avoid a costly token swap:
- Problem: Hackers stole tokens, requiring replacements for all holders.
- Solution: Identified AXPR’s pausable feature to freeze stolen funds.
- Innovation: Created a token wrap (not swap), allowing users to migrate tokens seamlessly via transactions.
- Result: AXPR relisted on KuCoin without additional costs, while competitors spent tens of thousands on swaps.
Key Takeaway: Contract features must be strategically designed for resilience.
Smart Contract Audit Process: Step by Step
- Code Submission: Submit finalized contract for audit.
- Assessment: Auditors analyze complexity and provide a timeline (typically 2–3 weeks).
- Testing: Rigorous review for vulnerabilities (e.g., reentrancy, overflow).
- Reporting: Receive a detailed findings report.
- Fixes & Retest: Address issues and finalize the audited contract.
