 Sending and distributing rewards from consumer chains to provider chain is handled by the `Reward Distribution` sub-protocol.
 
+## Note
+The ICS distribution system works by allowing consumer chains to send rewards to a module address on the provider called the `ConsumerRewardsPool`.
+There is a new transaction type called `RegisterConsumerRewardDenom`. This transaction allows consumer chains to register denoms to be used as consumer chain rewards on the provider.
+The cost to register a denom is configurable (`ConsumerRewardDenomRegistrationFee` chain param) and the full amount of this fee is transferred to the community pool of the provider chain. Only denoms registered through this transaction are then transferred from the `ConsumerRewardsPool` to the `FeePoolAddress`, to be distributed out to delegators and validators.
+
+### Instructions for adding a denom
+The transaction must be carried out on the provider chain. Please use the `ibc/*` denom trace format.

 Example:
 
-With `consumer_redistribution_fraction` set to `0.75` the consumer chain would send 75% of its block rewards and accumulated fees to the consumer chain and the remaining 25% to the provider chain every `n` blocks where `n == blocks_per_distribution_transmission`.
