Asset Issuance Primitive

Definition

An Asset Issuance Primitive is a fundamental protocol mechanism for creating new digital assets on a blockchain. It establishes the core rules and processes governing how tokens or other digital representations are brought into existence. This includes specifying parameters such as total supply, initial distribution methods, and the inherent properties of the asset. These foundational elements dictate the economic characteristics and operational behavior of newly minted digital value.
