Native Asset Representation

Architecture

Native asset representation denotes the structural methodology where a blockchain protocol defines its base unit of value as a fundamental ledger entry. This mechanism ensures that the intrinsic token exists as a native primitive within the network state, rather than being abstracted as a secondary contract-based token. Quantitative analysts view this framework as the primary mechanism for mitigating counterparty risk during the execution of financial derivatives.
