# Minimum Requirements

To maintain credibility and protect the ecosystem, TMD requires that every project meet strict minimum standards before being considered for DAO inclusion. These criteria are designed to filter out unserious projects and ensure only those with a real foundation and community backing can participate.

**Requirements:**

* **500 Holders** – A project must demonstrate real adoption and community presence.
* **$20,000 LP Minimum** – Adequate liquidity shows stability and helps prevent manipulation.
* **At Least 1 Week Old** – Projects must prove basic resilience before entering.
* **Active Team or CTO** – Development should be ongoing, with accountability and leadership in place.
* **Official Channels** – Telegram and X (Twitter) are required to ensure transparent communication with the community.

These requirements are not meant to exclude promising projects but to create a baseline of trust that benefits the entire ecosystem.
