Onboarding an asset

How to configure your asset for tokenization?

What is an asset?

Assets API

The asset being tokenized—whether a bond, equity, fund, or other financial instrument—is the centerpiece of the tokenization process. You need to define the asset's properties, token parameters, and initial token pool. Each asset must belong to exactly one issuer.

Token pool can be changed as long as the tokens are not yet distributed to investors.

How is asset defined?

These are the main properties you need to specify when setting up your asset for tokenization. Some properties cannot be changed after asset creation, while others become locked once the asset is issued on-chain.

Property	Meaning	Example
Name*	Name of the asset	"ABC Corp shares"
External reference	Your system's identifier for easier reference	<any sort of ID used in customer's system>
Website*	Website related to this asset	"abc.com"
Type	Asset classification for information publishing	"Debt security"
ISIN	ISIN code for this asset (for information publishing)	US0378331005
Minimum investment	Minimum investment amount in tokens (for information publishing)	"1"
Ticker*	Token identifier for this asset	"ABC"
Chain**	Blockchain where the asset will be tokenized	"Liquid Network"
Precision**	Decimal precision allowed for this token	"2"
Issuer	Link to the issuer record
Transferable	Whether tokens can be transferred between investors (e.g., equity)	"True"
Redeemable	Whether tokens can be redeemed by investors at any time (e.g., fund units)	"True"

Please note the following remarks: * - this property can not be changed after asset is issued on-chain ** - this property can not be changed after initial asset creation

Treasury wallets

Treasury wallets handle the technical aspects of token issuance and redemption. They belong to the issuer through the asset relationship and are generated for the asset before the issuance.

• Issuance wallet - Receives newly minted tokens during issuance

• Reissuance wallet - Holds reissuance token (Liquid Network specific)

• Redemption wallet - Receives tokens when investors redeem them

You can generate treasury wallets after creating the asset, but they must be ready before issuing the asset on-chain.

Next steps after asset creation

After creating your asset and generating treasury wallets, you'll need to:

• Set up the initial token pool

• Attach the appropriate whitelists

These steps prepare your asset for on-chain issuance and investor distribution.
