## Whitelist
Whitelisted tokens are those that have the potential to generate Magnolia when traded in a whitelisted pair. The idea of whitelisted tokens is that no token can be added to the DutchX Protocol with the mere intention to create Magnolia and benefit from liquidity contributions.<br/>
Whitelisting will - in future - be decided by the DAO.<br/>
This is the complete list of the [currently whitelisted tokens](https://github.com/gnosis/dx-contracts/blob/master/test/resources/approve-tokens/dxDAO_approved_tokens.js) (as per February 2019).<br/>
They were selected based on a legal assessment of token characteristics, which suggest that legislation of major jurisdictions regulating securities, financial instruments or similar and/or mandating customer due diligence procedures do not apply to them at this point in time for the purposes of the DutchX protocol.<br/>
Whitelisted tokens are those that generate Magnolia when traded in a whitelisted pair. Not whitelisted tokens can still be traded (if added to the DutchX protocol), but will not generate Magnolia! The idea of whitelisted tokens is to maintain MGN's benefit: no token should be traded with the sole intention to create Magnolia and benefit from liquidity contributions (and others' liquidity contribution to be hence reduced).<br/>
Whitelisting will - in future - be decided by [the dxDAO](https://dutchx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dxDAO.html).<br/>
During the Vote Staking Period, Gnosis will whitelist any tokens that are added to the protocol, which have a reasonable pricefeed AND are part of this [suggested whitelist](https://github.com/gnosis/dx-contracts/blob/master/test/resources/approve-tokens/dxDAO_approved_tokens.js).<br/>
This list was put together based on a legal assessment of token characteristics, which suggest that legislation of major jurisdictions regulating securities, financial instruments or similar and/or mandating customer due diligence procedures do not apply to them at this point in time for the purposes of the DutchX protocol.<br/>
Regardless of being whitelisted, tokens will still first need to be added to the protocol before trading is possible.

Note that whitelisted tokens are not the same as **listed** and **traded** tokens. A whitelisted token has the potential to create Magnolia tokens (used for reduction of liquidity contribution) if traded in a whitelisted pair. Tokens can be listed for trading on the DutchX protocol, albeit not whitelisted (and hence trades do not generate Magnolia); on the flip side, tokens could be whitelisted, however not listed/traded on the DutchX protocol.
