Asset Layer

Definition

The asset layer in blockchain technology denotes the protocol level where digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, tokens, or non-fungible tokens, are created, issued, and managed. It represents the foundational rules and mechanisms governing the existence and transfer of these digital holdings. This layer establishes the unique properties, supply schedules, and ownership rights for each digital asset. It forms the basis upon which value is represented and exchanged within a decentralized network.
