Frequently Asked Questions about CMC Boost

Boost FAQ Overview

• What are Boosts?: Boosts enhance a token's visibility on CoinMarketCap by temporarily increasing its Trending Score for a duration of 12 to 24 hours, depending on the selected pack. The number of active Boosts for a token is displayed on the platform, and a Golden Ticker is activated when a token has 600 or more active Boosts.

• What is the Trending Score?: The Trending Score reflects a token's recent activity and popularity, influencing its position on the trending list. This score is a composite metric that includes trading activity, price changes, social engagement, and other relevant factors.

• Do Boosts guarantee a specific ranking for a token?: Boosts improve a token's Trending Score and visibility but do not ensure a specific ranking, as overall market activity and the performance of other tokens also play significant roles. Generally, using a Boost should enhance a token's ranking.

Purchasing and Eligibility

• How can I purchase a Boost for a token?: To buy a Boost, users must navigate to the token's detail page, click the Boost button, select a Boost pack, and complete the payment using cryptocurrency or a credit card. The Boost becomes active shortly after payment confirmation.

• Which tokens are eligible for Boosts?: Most tokens on CoinMarketCap can utilize Boosts, except for untracked tokens, upcoming tokens, rehypothecated tokens, stablecoins, unsupported RWA assets, and those that fail security audits or are flagged as malicious.

• Can I schedule a Boost?: Currently, Boosts cannot be scheduled and will activate within minutes after the payment is confirmed.

• Can I purchase multiple Boost packs for one token?: Yes, users can buy multiple Boost packs for a single token, and the effects will accumulate, with the total Boost calculated by adding all active Boosts for that token.

• Can I get a refund for a Boost?: Boost purchases are non-refundable. Users needing assistance with an active Boost can submit a request for help.
