Setting up issuer

How to setup an issuer?

What is an issuer?

An issuer represents the legal entity behind the asset being tokenized. It's the organization that legally owns the asset and has the authority to create tokens representing it.

One issuer can tokenize multiple assets (for example, a structured debt product might have separate tokens for senior and junior tranches), but each asset must always relate to exactly one issuer.
