A Deposit Token is a digital representation of a real-world asset or value held in custody. It signifies ownership or a claim on a specific quantity of an underlying asset, such as fiat currency or commodities, that has been deposited with a custodian. These tokens facilitate the transfer of ownership and the execution of transactions involving the represented asset within a digital environment. Their creation typically involves a custodial arrangement ensuring the token’s redeemability for the actual deposited item.
