I don't think Appics ever intend on existing on an exchange.
What makes you sure that they will be traded on one?

From what I gather, there is already a token (a masternode) called Apollon which utilize the XAP ticker. So this tells me that either Appics WILL NOT exist on exchanges or this would have had their attention and solution already. Or, they have no clue of the other XAP and will have an issue to deal with once they realize it and see the issue it presents in regards to proceeding to list on an exchange.

Again though, nothing from Appics gives the impression that they will be traded. SMTs also need clarity. From what I gather, many here are under them impression that because they hold STEEM that they will or should get an airdrop of whatever token chooses to exist as an SMT.

Such bad management. It's crazy.
