List an Asset on Osmosis
Bringing a token to Osmosis is a sequence of steps: get the asset onto the chain, register its metadata so it displays correctly, create a market with enough liquidity to trade, and make it discoverable on the frontend. This section orders those steps so you can work through them start to finish.
The typical path is:
- Connect with Osmosis : move the asset to Osmosis over IBC.
- Register your Asset : add it to the chain registry and asset list so it shows with the right name, symbol, and decimals.
- Source Initial Liquidity : meet the minimum liquidity needed for a usable market.
- Pool Setup : create the pool (concentrated, weighted, stableswap, or CosmWasm) and, for IBC assets, the create-a-pool walkthrough.
- Liquidity Incentives : optionally add external incentives to attract liquidity providers.
- Ensure Visibility : meet the criteria for the asset to appear (and be verified) on the Osmosis frontend.
Work through them in order; each step assumes the previous one is done.
Connect with Osmosis
Osmosis is a automated market maker blockchain. This means any IBC-enabled zone can add its token as an asset to be traded on Osmosis AMM completely permissionlessly. Because Osmosis is fundamentally designed as an IBC-native AMM that trades IBC tokens, rather than tokens issued on the Osmosis zone, there are additional nuances to understand and steps to be taken in order to ensure your asset is supported by Osmosis.
Register your Asset
This guide intends to support teams looking to enlist their tokenized crypto asset onto the Osmosis Zone app. Assets need to be registered in several locations in order to be displayed correctly on all interfaces.

Overview
Source Initial Liquidity
When integrating a new asset, Osmosis Zone recommends at least USD $1,000-worth of liquidity in a pool before it is listed onto osmosis.zone. There are a few ways to go about setting up the minimum liquidity requirement.
Liquidity Incentives
Liquidity Providers on Osmosis receive swap fees by default, but can receive additional liquidity incentives through the permissionless creation of external liquidity mining gauges, allowing projects to add their own rewards to further incentivize users to provide liquidity into a pool.
