Assets

Neurai inherits and enhances the original asset layer from Ravencoin. This system allows for the creation of unique and secure tokens directly on Layer 1 of the blockchain (without the need for complex smart contracts like in Ethereum), making it ideal for representing Real World Assets (RWA).

Below is a simple explanation of the available asset types and how they work.

What is an Asset?​

Imagine an Asset as a unique digital token that you create and control. Unlike a standard cryptocurrency, you decide:

  • The Name: (e.g., MY_COMPANY)
  • The Quantity: (e.g., 1,000,000 tokens)
  • Divisibility: (Whether it can be split into decimals or not)
  • Reissuability: (Whether more can be issued in the future)

To create an asset, you must "burn" (destroy) a specific amount of XNA coins. This prevents spam on the network.


Asset Types​

The system is structured hierarchically, similar to folders on your computer.

1. Main Asset​

This is the root of everything. It is unique across the entire blockchain. No one else can have an asset with the same name.

  • Symbol: COMPANY
  • Usage: Represents your brand, project, company, or main identity.
  • Requirement: Burn XNA to create it.
  • Power: Whoever holds the "Admin Token" of this asset controls everything attached to it.

2. Sub-Assets​

These are assets that live inside the main asset. Only the owner of the main asset can create them.

  • Symbol: COMPANY/DEPARTMENT or COMPANY/PRODUCT_A
  • Usage: Ideal for organizing categories. For example, if COMPANY is a game developer, COMPANY/GAME1 would be a sub-asset.
  • Advantage: Inherits the trust of the main brand.

3. Unique Assets (NFTs)​

These are assets that are unique and unrepeatable. Only ONE of each exists, and they cannot be divided (you cannot send 0.5 of a unique asset).

  • Symbol: COMPANY#SERIAL_NUMBER or COMPANY#ITEM_NAME
  • Usage:
    • NFTs: Digital art, game items.
    • RWA: Representing ownership of a car, a house, or a specific IoT device.
    • Identity: A unique membership card.
  • Creation: Created from a Main Asset or Sub-asset. Upon creation, it "moves" to the user's wallet and becomes an indivisible token.

4. Admin Assets​

These are the "keys" to the car. When you create an asset (like COMPANY), the network automatically gives you a special token called COMPANY!.

  • Symbol: Ends in ! (e.g., COMPANY!)
  • Function:
    • Allows you to issue more of the asset (if reissuable).
    • Allows you to create sub-assets.
    • Allows you to create dividends (pay everyone holding your token).
  • Security: Never send this token to anyone unless you want to transfer total control of your project!

5. Messaging/Channel Assets​

These allow for decentralized communication.

  • Symbol: Ends in ~ (e.g., COMPANY~NEWS)
  • Usage: The owner of this token can send messages to the network that are verifiable. It's like having your own Twitter channel but on the blockchain.

6. Qualifier/Restricted Assets​

These are advanced tools for legal compliance (KYC/AML).

  • Symbol: Starts with # or $ (e.g., #KYC_LEVEL1)
  • Usage: They allow tagging wallet addresses. For example, you can configure your COMPANY asset so that it can only be sent to addresses holding the #KYC_APPROVED token.
  • RWA Utility: Fundamental for tokenized stocks or regulated real estate where not just anyone can be an owner.

Why is it ideal for IoT and RWA?​

In Neurai, we use this structure to give identity to things:

  1. You create MANUFACTURER (Main Asset).
  2. You create MANUFACTURER/MODEL_X (Sub-Asset).
  3. Each physical device leaving the factory receives MANUFACTURER#SERIAL_NUMBER_123 (Unique Asset).

In this way, the device has an unforgeable identity on the blockchain that proves its origin and authenticity.
