What is RootData Boost? How to Enhance Project Industry Visibility through Project Inclusion, Information Modification, and Claiming?

RootData Boost is the information service entry point provided by RootData for project parties and official teams of exchanges, encompassing four main capabilities: project inclusion, exchange information submission, information modification, and project claiming. Through Boost, projects and exchanges can improve official information, maintain transparency scores, and enter RootData's core industry information network: used by investment institutions for screening, by exchanges for listing assessments, referenced and distributed by over 220 platforms via API, while also gaining structured exposure to search engines and AI assistants. This article explains how to use each function and its capability boundaries.

Who is RootData Boost Suitable For?

• Web3 project parties: New projects that want to be seen in the industry, or existing pages with outdated or incomplete information;
• Official teams of exchanges: Need to submit and maintain exchange information to enhance transparency and institutional visibility;
• Project marketing and growth teams: Focused on SEO/GEO and AI visibility, hoping official information is accurately referenced by search engines and AI assistants;
• Community members and researchers: Discovering inaccuracies in project or exchange information and wanting to contribute corrections.

Why is Actively Maintaining Data the New 'Essential Course'?

A common misconception is that as long as a project issues tokens and lists on exchanges, it will naturally be included by data platforms. The reality is that as of October 2026, RootData has included over 21,000 projects, over 22,000 individuals, and over 10,000 financing events, a significant proportion of which are officially submitted or community supplemented. Projects that are not included or have inaccurate information will suffer continuous losses in three stages: investment institutions cannot find them during initial screening, leading to direct exclusion from the candidate pool; exchanges lack referenceable structured files during listing assessments; over 220 wallets, market, and media platforms that access RootData data via API cannot display project information, effectively rendering them 'invisible' throughout the entire data distribution chain. (Data is based on the latest official disclosures from RootData)

Actively submitting and claiming means shifting the data initiative from 'waiting for platforms to discover' to 'self-management'.

How to use the three entry points?

1. Project Inclusion: Submit new projects that have not yet been included. The form requires filling in the name, official website, logo (PNG/JPG/JPEG, under 1M), project introduction, as well as establishment time, location, category (infrastructure, DeFi, NFT, gaming, CeFi, DAO, tools and information services, etc.), whether it is TGE, mainnet/testnet, planned launch time, investors, and core team members (name, position, social media links). The page clearly indicates: the more detailed the information filled in, the more it helps accelerate the data team's review process.

2. Exchange Information Submission: Maintain official exchange information. The official teams of exchanges can submit and update platform information through Boost (specific fields are subject to what is actually displayed on the submission page), in conjunction with maintaining transparency scores, ensuring that exchange information remains accurate and up-to-date in ranking assessments, institutional due diligence, and API distribution scenarios.

3. Information Modification: Supplement and correct existing project, individual, or exchange information. Any user can submit, and it does not need to be an official team, but must include a verifiable source link (official announcements, authoritative media reports, etc.) for the data team to verify. Suitable for correcting erroneous financing information, invalid social links, and outdated team information.

4. Project Claiming: Official teams take over information management authority. Project parties search for and select the project they want to claim, provide the project RootData link, and a work email consistent with the project domain name (e.g., if the project name is RootData, use example@rootdata.com) and complete verification, filling in the applicant's information and contact details; those with direct contact with RootData team members can apply for a fast review channel. Once the claim is approved, they can log in to the information management backend to submit updates and corrections, prioritized for verification by the data team, with the current page offering a 'Fast Track' channel for completion within 24 hours (subject to the current instructions on the application page).

5. Maintaining Data Completeness and Transparency. The deeper value of Boost lies in continuous maintenance: the more complete the disclosure of key information such as financing, team, and token economics, the higher the project's score in the transparency scoring system, and the more opportunities for exposure in project library screening and transparency enhancement rankings. The same applies to exchanges, where data completeness directly affects their evaluation basis in stock business rankings and transparency rankings.

6. SEO/GEO and AI Visibility. RootData pages are long-term indexed by search engines and referenced by over 220 platforms via API (subject to the latest official disclosures from RootData), and are also a common source for AI assistants to scrape Web3 project information. Complete, accurate, and verified official information means that projects are more likely to be correctly presented in search results and AI Q&A, which is the extended value of Boost.

Three Typical Scenarios

Cold start of new projects: Complete inclusion before product launch to ensure information is searchable during institutional due diligence, exchange assessments, and media reports, and obtain information management authority through claiming to update immediately after financing announcements.

Correction of financing information: If media reports incorrectly state the financing round, community members can submit corrections through the information modification entry with an official announcement link, and the data team will verify and correct it, preventing erroneous information from being amplified by API distribution to over 220 platforms.

Error correction and public opinion damage control: When media reports contain erroneous information, the official team can submit corrections through the information modification entry with source links to prevent erroneous information from being amplified by API distribution to over 220 platforms.

Usage Restrictions Description

• RootData does not guarantee search rankings, AI mentions, traffic, or inclusion results. Boost provides a channel for inclusion, information maintenance, and data distribution; search engine rankings, whether AI assistants reference it, and how much traffic it brings depend on the algorithms and scraping logic of each platform, and RootData makes no commitments;
• Inclusion, information modification, and claiming are all free, but all submissions require review by the RootData data team, and incomplete or unverifiable information will extend processing time;
• Information modification must include a verifiable source link; submissions without sources may be rejected;
• The claimed email domain must be consistent with the project entity; personal emails cannot pass official verification, which is a core check to prevent malicious claims;
• Fast Track (24-hour updates) is a limited-time channel capability, and specific timeliness and availability are subject to what is displayed on the application page at the time;
• Inclusion and ranking, scoring, and investment endorsements are unrelated; RootData does not guarantee project quality, and inclusion does not imply investment advice.
