My opinion is that listing (and any other in principle) will increase awareness of our project so that  it finds more ways to increase liquidity and maturity as well

My opinion. We as a community and investors must develop our Dex. Lock your tokens, raise TVL/VOLUME. Collect liquidity on our platform (Omnipool), not take away to another exchange.

People who say that they cannot buy or that it is difficult to do so :) If you want to buy something on the cryptocurrency market, you will find a way to do it!!!

Cheers!

I would say that some people dont know about HDX. Exchanges create awareness, lower barrier to entry, and help bring in more money. There are also people that have not had experience with HDX's low fees so they have ptsd from dealing with ETH. (I have friend that thought it would have a lot of fees to by on HDX lol) Most of the best coins have a lot of exchanges and it help with mass adoption.  We should add the exchanges that are easy to get. 

I have to vote nay. These 60k could be used better for development of HydraDX protocol. Maybe organize a hackathon with 60k USD rewards. That could bring some interest and new applications built on Hydra. Plus MEXC seems like a pretty scammy CEX. 

The listing represents a plum, and I don't mean a plum after the listing.
The logic is simple, in order to sell tokens on MEXC you have to block them by selecting - yes. And they don't want to block them, the capital will bypass the omnipool.
Let's develop bridges to other universes first, or raise recognition. Those who are looking, and who are genuinely interested, will find a way to bring liquidity to the project, we need to attract, interest, and make the dex work. Or am I wrong. I think it's early.

Crazy we would pay to get added to an exchange.  Save the money

That's a no brainer, of course it should be listed! More exposure means more opportunity to attract future members of the ecosystem.

Voting Nay. 

This will pull capital and potential fees away from HDX and funnel them to MEXC. If MEXC believes in HDX, they can purchase liquidity for their exchange and earn their money by facilitating trades. 
They should be paying us, not us paying them.

The $60,000 would be better utilized adding new features to the omnipool, and finding new ways to improve our protocol.

A company with great potential like HydraDX should be able to attract more attention and even hold more shares on more platforms. HDX's landing on MEXC is a small step, but it is a big step for HydraDX's development!

My 2c on proposal. Long term stance of community & core team towards listings was; as aspiring DEX appchain customised for assets exchanging we want to drive maximum of volumes onchain at home. If any CEX will find HDX as interesting & promising project and token, they can obviously list it, but only at their cost. This was case of Kraken listing. We were contacted by Kraken team itself first and whole listing was free except of some time from our side as support of whole process where it was necessary. 

On the other hand, we appreciate it as fully community initiative executed outside of core team and would be great to see more of such autonomous actions and efforts. 

What I personally dislike on proposal is lack of clarity on usage of funds and their potential reclaim. What I would prefer to add as condition for making this referendum happen is integration and support of Polkadot native USDT on MEXC as necessity for our listing and also as another contribution and help with overall liquidity of Polkadot and pushing harder such under utilised opportunity of whole ecosystem as native USDT (look at Tron and network revenues from Tron USDT transfers ~ 900m yearly!).

I am also highly skeptical about roi of 20k USDT and even more in HDX, distributed how exactly? By staking cex token? and just 5 days? such amounts for time quite longer than 5 days could provide pretty high apr (not like 1st DOT farm which was more like a test run) on whatever farm we would choose which would eventually increase usage, # of users and bigger share of it would retain in Omnipool and not leak outside.

with condition : "support of Polkadot native USDT on MEXC"

totally agree, and this is right step to help not only HydraDX but the whole polkadot eco system.   

This seems nuts to pay 60k for a very esoteric exchange. HydraDX is just getting going, lets us get the markets attention with high TVL etc & an exchange will list us because they MAKE MONEY from trading fees. 60k for an admin in Mexc to do a bit of paper work. No I vote with all my tokens. Too early.

HydraDX is an exchange, why pay competitors? this is kind of surreal

Why throw money after a tier 5 exchange? With Kraken there is already a tier 2 exchange. Binance, Coinbase & Kucoin would be great listings I'd pay for but these days even they list without asking for much if you can show some trading volume. So, go trade, and wait for a tier 1 exchange - which will also help with money flows to other upcoming tokens on hydradx 

Voted nay.

Simple reason is MEXC isn't an exchange I'd recommend to anyone. Also, sketchy behavior as shared by others about MEXC makes me uncomfortable:

I'm okay with seeing more organic growth through Kraken and our DEX first. If we were to pay for a listing, I'd rather it be a tier 1 CEX for an appropriate price. At the moment I think the funds to be allocated are better held onto or invested to other growth opportunities.

This proposal is based on community and [SubSquare discussions](https://hydradx.subsquare.io/posts/130). If the proposal is approved, it would allow:

1. The  treasury will pay up to 60,000 USDT and HDX tokens of equal value, and use MEXC’s Kickstarter campaign to achieve the listing of HydraDX on MEXC. The specific fees and listing time will be determined by the team and MEXC through negotiation.

2. Taking this as a starting point, the HydraDX community began to investigate the currency listing policies of other centralized exchanges and promote HydraDX to be listed on more CEXs.

Please vote enthusiastically!

HydraDX is a project that wants to be listed on a new exchange called MEXC. They need to pay some money to be listed and the community is trying to raise it. If they get listed, they will try to be listed on more exchanges. People are being asked to vote for this proposal.
