Field Notes
IBC denoms and the spreadsheet fog
Cosmos-family holdings often look noisier than they are. A short method for turning denom strings into readable lines.
Investors who diversify into Cosmos zones often paste denom strings into notes and later cannot tell liquid balances from pool shares. The fog is visual, not mystical.
What a visibility audit looks for
We match denoms to human labels you already recognize, then mark which lines are staking, which are LP, and which are dust from an old IBC transfer. The goal is a holdings map you can reread a month later.
Session tip
If Osmosis LPs matter to you, say so in the pre-read. They take longer live because pool composition changes how we describe exposure.
After the map
Keep the PDF beside your desktop aggregation view. When a new zone appears, add it as a labeled account rather than another anonymous string.
Ask about a holdings audit if your notes already feel crowded.
