# Proposing a New Index

Liquidex uses a **curation-gated** process for creating new indexes — protecting the quality and integrity of everything that reaches users.

***

## How it works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Submit a proposal

Through the web interface, submit a proposal with a **name**, **symbol**, and **asset basket**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Admin review

An **admin** curates the proposal and **approves or rejects** it.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Deploy & register

Once approved, the index is **deployed on-chain** and **registered** for the public.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

***

## Why curation matters

This gate prevents **spam** and **low-quality indexes** from reaching users.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Confidence by design.** When you see an index on Liquidex, it has passed a deliberate review process — so you know exactly what you are investing in.
{% endhint %}

***

## Your ideas, brought to life

* **Propose your own index** — design the basket you believe in
* **Track submissions** — follow the status of your proposals directly in the interface
* **Community-driven growth** — the protocol grows with the ideas of its users

{% hint style="info" %}
**Have an index idea?** Submit it and be part of building the ecosystem — all in one place.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.liquidex.sh/community-governance/proposing-a-new-index.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
