What is asset tokenization? Asset tokenization is the process of creating a digital representation, called a "token", of a real-world asset on a distributed ledger or blockchain. These tokens are programmable, traceable and can be transferred peer-to-peer. Each token acts as a digital certificate of ownership or a claim to a portion of an asset.
A new class of blockchain networks are emerging, not as speculative playgrounds, but as economic operating systems – economic OSs – for the public internet. Their role is simple and profound: to provide a neutral, tamper-resistant and programmable environment for money, assets, contracts and governance to exist natively online.
