Skip the theory and start issuing assets
What Are Arkade Assets
Arkade Assets let you create and transfer custom assets on Bitcoin. They work like regular Bitcoin payments, same wallet, same transactions, with asset balances attached. You can issue any asset: a stablecoin, a loyalty point, a real-world asset. Recipients need only an Arkade address to receive it.What Makes Them Bitcoin-Native
Assets don’t live on a separate chain or sidechain. They move inside standard Bitcoin transactions alongside satoshis, settled on the Bitcoin base layer. Supply mechanics are enforced by the protocol: minting requires holding the designated control asset, and the rules can’t be bypassed. Whoever holds the control asset controls supply. Burning it permanently caps it.What You Can Build
- Stablecoins and real-world assets settled directly on Bitcoin
- Multi-asset wallets with Bitcoin and custom assets side by side
- Programmable assets with supply controls and onchain metadata commitments
