Custom Asset Creation

Fortress provides the ability to create Custom Assets that can be bought, sold, and traded on our platform. For example these can represent digital tokenized assets that mimic the price action of public stocks or represent private securities. Fortress will record all transactions and balance changes. Creating the asset is quick and requires little configuration.

Create Asset

To create an asset a Name, Symbol, Price(Amount), Currency, and Asset Type needs to be set, as well as a description of the asset.

POST /api/trust/v1/assets

//Sample Request 

{
  "name": "My Custom Asset",
  "description": "Insert any relevant info on the asset here",
  "symbol": "MCA",
  "amount": 10 , //price of your asset
  "currency": "usd", //currency the price is set by
  "assetType": "privateSecurity" 
}

Once the asset is created you will be return an Asset ID. This ID is used for deposits, withdraws, and trading the asset.
