Last updated November 13, 2025 · Estimated read time: 8–10 minutes

1.1 Introduction to $ASX

$ASX is the native token of the Asentum blockchain and platform ecosystem. It powers core network functions, catalyzes liquidity in real‑world asset (RWA) markets, and coordinates economic incentives for validators, issuers, and investors. As a utility and governance token, $ASX sits at the heart of secure issuance, compliant distribution, and transparent settlement of tokenized assets.

1.2 Core Utility and Platform Roles

  • Governance: Vote on protocol upgrades, parameters, and ecosystem initiatives
  • Staking: Secure the network and earn validator/node rewards
  • Node/validator earnings: Rewards paid in $ASX for block production and services
  • Gas fees: On‑chain transaction execution on the Asentum network
  • Platform fees: Transaction fees on marketplace interactions
  • Issuance fees: Token creation, division, and lifecycle actions under ARC37
  • Dividend settlement fees: Distribution and reconciliation for RWA payouts

1.3 Economic Model and Value Drivers

  • Utility demand: $ASX usage scales with issuance volume, trading activity, and settlements
  • Staking sink: Validators and delegators lock tokens to secure the network
  • Fee recycling: Portions of platform fees can be directed to growth, liquidity, or burns (policy‑driven)
  • Ecosystem incentives: Grants and rewards for issuers, builders, and market makers
