Foundational Asset

Definition

A Foundational Asset is a primary digital asset that underpins the security, utility, or economic model of a specific blockchain network or decentralized ecosystem. This asset typically serves multiple purposes, including facilitating transaction fees, securing the network through staking or mining, and granting governance rights to holders. Its stability and value are often critical for the overall health and functionality of the protocols built upon its infrastructure. Such assets form the bedrock of decentralized economies.
