Community Discussion: Proposing IRIS Listing on Top Exchanges

To the IRIS Network Community,
Proposal for IRIS Network Listing on Major Exchanges
Thank you for your continuous efforts in the development of IRIS Network.
I would like to propose to the community the listing of the IRIS token (IRIS) on major cryptocurrency exchanges with the aim of further growth and adoption for IRIS Network.
I am confident that a successful listing would significantly contribute to improving IRIS’s liquidity, reaching a wider investor base, increasing project recognition, and advancing the entire Cosmos ecosystem.
Therefore, I have prepared a draft listing proposal and would like to share it with you all in this forum to gather broad feedback.
Proposal Overview
This proposal aims to list the IRIS token (IRIS) on major cryptocurrency exchanges. Through this, we aim for the following effects:

  • Enhanced Liquidity: Increase in IRIS token trading volume and more efficient price discovery.
  • Expanded Investor Base: Promotion of new individual and institutional investor inflow.
  • Increased Project Recognition: Enhancement of IRIS Network’s credibility and legitimacy, leading to wider exposure.
  • Contribution to the Cosmos Ecosystem: Advancement of the entire ecosystem through increased IRIS Network presence.
    Strengths of IRIS Network
    The proposal highlights the following strengths of IRIS Network:
  • Robust Technology and Track Record: A stable technical foundation based on Cosmos SDK with a proven development history.
  • Active Community: Strong community support extending globally.
  • Clear Roadmap: Future potential aligned with DeFi, NFT, and cross-chain services.
  • Integration with the Cosmos Ecosystem: High interoperability through IBC.
  • Diverse Use Cases: Wide applicability in finance, supply chain, digital content, and more.
    Community’s Role in Listing
    Community cooperation is essential for a successful listing. The proposal specifies the following support:
  • Cooperation in public relations activities (joint PR, AMA sessions, etc.)
  • Technical support
  • Community engagement
  • Cooperation in governance votes as needed
    Key Considerations (Bybit, bitbank, etc.)
    Considering exchanges like Bybit and Japan’s bitbank as potential listing targets, and to meet the strict requirements, especially those emphasized by Japanese domestic exchanges, the following points must also be considered and prepared for:
  • Technology & Security Related: Latest security audit reports, adherence to the latest Cosmos SDK/IBC versions, thorough disclosure of the development roadmap and progress reports.
  • Tokenomics & Market Related: Current liquidity improvement, transparent disclosure and adherence to token issuance, lock-up, and release schedules, and a strategy for long-term token value maintenance.
  • Community & Marketing Related: Strengthening multi-language (especially English) information dissemination, enhancing global community engagement, actively disclosing partnerships, and strengthening investor relations (IR) activities.
  • Legal & Compliance Related (especially for Japan): Collaboration with Japanese lawyers, clear demonstration of AML/CFT measures, understanding and addressing the Financial Services Agency (FSA) and Japan Virtual and Crypto assets Exchange Association (JVCEA) review standards, and clear business planning.
