What is Osmosis?

Osmosis is an advanced AMM protocol built with the Cosmos SDK that will allow developers to design, build, and implement their own custom AMMs.

Heterogeneity and sovereignty are two basic principles of the Cosmos ecosystem, and Osmosis takes these two values ​​and extends them to the core features of this AMM protocol. Rather than aiming for a single homogeneous approach for all AMMs and their liquidity pools, Osmosis is designed in such a way that the most efficient solution can be reached through the process of experimentation and rapid iteration, drawing on the wisdom of the crowd. 

It achieves this by offering deep customization to AMM designers and a governance mechanism whereby stakeholders in each AMM pool (i.e., liquidity providers) can govern and steer their pools.

How does Osmosis Token Work?

The Osmo token is a governance token that provides a decentralized coordination method for token holders to decide the strategic direction and all future changes to the Osmosis protocol. Osmo is expected to be used primarily in the following roles (although the government may choose to add or remove some of the functions):

1. Vote on protocol updates
2. Allocation of Liquidity Mining Rewards for Liquidity Pools
3. Setting the base network exchange rate

Governance is a critical component of how Osmosis evolves as an AMM protocol. Because the speed at which Osmosis will add new features and subsequently software updates is expected to be much faster than Cosmos Hub, active stakeholders and liquidity providers must be actively involved in the discussion and voting process and pass protocol updates. 

Groups eligible for liquidity rewards will be selected by the governance of the Osmo token holder, allowing stakeholders to formulate an incentive strategy that better aligns with the long-term interests of the protocol. 

The OSMO token will be launched in an entirely fair manner. It will only be distributed to network participants who contribute resources to the success of the Osmosis network, such as liquidity providers, developers, stakers, and more. There will be no sale of previously mined OSMO tokens. 

While OSMO will initially function as a government token and a share token, Osmosis intends to transition to a Cosmos Hub shared security zone as soon as the feature is ready. A signage proposal to finalize this will be put to the vote once Osmosis has been launched.
