• About 50% of respondents evaluate more than 50 projects per year and face serious information overload issues.
• Over 30% of respondents indicated that data lag could lead to decision-making errors or implicit point deductions, and lack of project transparency has become a core obstacle affecting listing efficiency.
• 50% stated that lack of transparency would trigger defensive due diligence, prolonging the review process, and even 16.7% would directly halt or reject the listing review.
• 88.9% of respondents need to cross-verify data across multiple platforms.

The report emphasizes that the credit foundation of Web3 projects includes institutional investors, valuation, team, and roadmap, and requires third-party platforms to prevent fraud. 91.4% of respondents believe that comprehensive information collected by platforms like RootData can improve listing efficiency by at least 30%. In addition, over 80.6% agree that data platforms are crucial for decision-making; lack of transparency not only slows project capitalization progress but also undermines overall industry trust. The report also calls on project teams to improve information disclosure and use tools like RootData to build a credit system to accelerate the listing process.
