Intention identifies assets and markets through stable, protocol-level identifiers. This page will describe the identifier scheme: the structure of asset IDs, the structure of market IDs, how listings and delistings interact with identifier reuse, and how clients should resolve human-readable symbols to identifiers and back.
Status: not yet published. The identifier scheme will be confirmed when the first markets are listed on the public testnet. Until then, treat the descriptions below as planning documentation.

​
What this page will contain

  • Asset IDs. Format and uniqueness guarantees for collateral assets and underlying assets.
  • Market IDs. Format for perpetual markets, including the relationship between market ID, base asset, quote asset, and contract metadata.
  • Symbols. Human-readable symbols used in the app, and how to resolve them to canonical IDs via the read API.
  • Stability. What guarantees the protocol makes about identifier stability across listings, delistings, and contract upgrades.
  • Cross-references. How asset and market IDs appear in the Verifiable Execution Stream, the historical data archives, and the listing hook events.
