Osmosis Frontend aims to foster a polished and complete user experience when users intereact with any 'verified' asset. This requires that the asset has all metadata registered correctly and thoroughly, as well as be recognized by key external interfaces, and have sufficient and efficient liquidity on Osmosis.
Registered Asset Metadata at the Cosmos Chain Registry:
- All standard required values: Name, Symbol, Display decimals/exponent, Type_asset (sdk.coin vs cw20 vs erc20 vs ...), etc.
- A detailed
description
. - A detailed
extended_description
, if applicable. - Associated
socials
, includingwebsite
andtwitter
where applicable. - The correct
coingecko_id
:- Verify its inclusion via CoinGecko's Coins List API (v3)
- Use the
id
value--NOT symbol or name
- Logo Image (high quality):
- File has perfectly square Aspect Ratio
- File size < 250 KB
- Image resolution at least 200x200 (should look crisp, with no compression artifacts, and no blur)
- Any opaque image content could fit entirely within an imaginary circle inscribed within the square file shape
Integrations with Key Apps:
- Recognition by key Block Explorers:
- Mintscan (Assets are added at Cosmostation's Chainlist)
- Celatone (Assets are added at Celatone's Data Repository)
- Recognition by key Data Aggregators:
- CoinGecko (See: How to list new Cryptocurrencies on CoinGecko)
Liquidity on Osmosis:
- At least $10k USD of liquidity on Osmosis DEX
- At least one pool of type: Supercharged Liquidity(CL), Stableswap, Transmuter/Alloyed Asset, or Astroport PCL.
- Note that this requirement is NOT met by an instance of the Weighted ('xyk') pool type, which are less strategic for traders and liquidity providers than other pool types.
- Note that although Supercharged Liquidity is the recommended pool type for most assets, this type of pool cannot be created via the Osmosis Zone frontend interface.
- See the Pool Setup Guide for instructions on setting up a Liquidity Pool on Osmosis.
Verified status is granted if the token or project meets any of the following criteria:
- Governance Approval, via any of the following:
- Permissioned contract(s), or
- Osmosis' Liquidity Mining incentive allocation to any pool containing the asset
- (Note: This includes the External Incentive Matching program)
- Note: Do NOT create a signalling proposal
- Significance, via any of the following:
- Has a top 1000 Market Capitalization rank on CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap
- Is available for trade on any of the following 'major' centralized exchanges:
- Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Gate.io, Huobi Global
- Project Legitimacy, meeting ALL of the following (only applies for the primary token of the project):
- Brand presence: A well-designed project website or well-curated content on content platforms; e.g., a blog, Medium, YouTube, X, etc., and
- Community presence: Active community channels/following on X, Discord, Telegram, Reddit, etc., and
- Developer presence: GitHub organization with active development on open-source repository(s).
- (Note: Merely forking a chain or registering a token does not qualify as 'active development')
To propose that an asset should be upgraded to Verified status, please submit a Pull Requiest to this repository:
- The PR should update the asset's
"osmosis_verified"
property value totrue
in the zone_assets file. - In the Descrption or Conversation of the PR, please provide evidence of the Qualifying Criteria
Note that although many qualifying requirements are objective and clear, some requirements, particularly those listed under 'Legitimacy', are more qualitative and inherently subjective, so it can be challenging for the reviewing team to determine with confidence. Thus, it should be known that assets that only potentially qualify via the 'Legitimacy' requirements are not guaranteed to become Verified on the Osmosis app.
- Decommissioning or delegitimization of the asset or its native chain (e.g., UST during the Terra [Classic] collapse)
