Native Asset Creation

Definition

Native Asset Creation refers to the process by which a blockchain protocol issues its foundational cryptocurrency or token, which is essential for its operational integrity and economic model. This typically occurs through mechanisms such as mining in Proof of Work systems or staking rewards in Proof of Stake systems. These assets often serve multiple functions, including transaction fee payment, network security, and governance participation. The issuance schedule and supply cap are predefined within the protocol’s code.
