On-Chain Issuance

Definition

On-chain issuance refers to the creation of new digital assets directly recorded and verified on a blockchain. This process involves generating new tokens or digital units where the entire record of their creation, including quantity and initial distribution, is permanently written to a distributed ledger. Unlike off-chain methods, on-chain issuance provides verifiable proof of existence and authenticity from the moment of creation, leveraging the security and transparency of the blockchain. This method is fundamental for many cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and non-fungible tokens.
