- Trading volume and liquidity
- Stability and safety of the network from attacks
- Network/smart contract stability
- The level of public communication
- Responsiveness to the periodic due diligence requests
- Evidence of unethical/fraudulent conduct or negligence
- New regulatory requirements
- Contribution to a healthy and sustainable crypto ecosystem
