# Guidance on how to update Collateral Status Index

# Why does the CSI exist?

-   Provide an easily addressable way to access the information on a specific collateral type.
-   Keep a records of
    -   The community greenlight outcome.
    -   Any domain greenlight outcomes.
    -   How each collateral asset was on-boarded to the protocol.
-   (Future) Provide a place that allows for efficient coordination between domain teams.

**Aim to achieve these goals, even at the expense of following the specific guidelines below. Format is open to modification. (LongForWisdom 8-4-2020)**
