On-Chain Token Issuance

Definition

On-chain token issuance is the creation of new digital tokens directly recorded on a blockchain. This process involves deploying smart contracts that define the properties and supply of a new digital asset, with all subsequent creation and distribution events immutably recorded on a distributed ledger. It ensures transparency regarding the total supply, ownership, and transaction history of the token. This method contrasts with off-chain issuance, where records are maintained separately from the blockchain.
