Liquid assets are tokens issued on the Liquid Network, which anyone can create. The Blockstream Asset Issuer makes the asset issuance process simple and streamlined and only takes a few minutes to complete. In order to issue your first Liquid asset, follow the instructions below:
Pre-requisites
1.
Create a Liquid wallet on a platform such as Blockstream Green.
2.
To register your Liquid asset, you will need the ability to add a file to your domain.
Issue a Liquid Asset
1.
Visit the Blockstream Asset Issuer login page and create an account.
2.
After logging in, click Issue an asset to continue. You will see your previously issued Liquid assets on this page after you have created one.
3.
Make sure you have your Liquid wallet open, then click Start when you're ready. Currently the Asset Issuer only offers Standard Assets, but more options are coming in the future.
4.
Fill in the fields with your desired Asset name, Ticker, Domain, and whether or not your Liquid asset is part of a collection. Agree to the terms and conditions, then click Next.
Tip: Click Asset Issuance 101 in the bottom right corner if you need an additional description of each of these fields.
5.
Next, choose the amount of your asset you would like to issue, along with its decimal precision. At this point, you may also choose to hide the issuance amount and decide if you want to create more of your asset in the future using a reissuance token. Lastly, enter a Liquid address from your wallet in order to receive your Liquid asset and reissuance token (if applicable).
6.
You will now have the option to upload an icon for your asset, to be displayed in Liquid Asset Registry and in registry-enabled Liquid wallets. Make sure to follow the guidelines so that your icon will be approved.
7.
Finally, review the issuance details of your Liquid asset and select Issue when you are ready. You may then navigate to your Liquid wallet where you will see your newly issued Liquid asset.
8.
Issuance complete! You may now continue to provide proof of ownership to make sure your Liquid asset is registered and associated with your domain.
