Assets (Tokenised) — Overview
A PINX tokenised asset is a standard Solana token that represents exposure to a real underlying instrument (e.g., a stock, ETF, index, or commodity). You can trade these assets via Swaps for instant execution or Escrow Orders for precise, limit-style pricing.
1) What is a tokenised asset on PINX?
A tokenised asset is a digital representation of a real asset. It behaves like a normal crypto token—easy to hold, transfer, and use across modern wallets—while following clear rules aligned with what it represents.
- Familiar form factor — works with standard wallets and portfolio tools.
- 24/7 access — move and trade outside traditional market hours.
- Fast finality — blockchain settlement instead of slow manual processes.
- Composability — can interact with other on-chain services where supported.
2) How trading works
PINX supports two complementary methods:
- Swaps — pool-based, instant quotes; best for mainstream symbols and everyday trading.
- Escrow Orders — limit/OTC-style; funds are safely held until an order fills or expires; better for precise pricing or larger blocks.
3) Which method should I use?
- Swaps: instant; quote-driven; continuous liquidity; minimal user effort.
- Escrow Orders: may wait for fills; you set a limit price; episodic/negotiated liquidity; place/manage an order.
Many assets support both—use Swaps for speed, Escrow for precision or size.
4) Asset lifecycle (at a glance)
- Creation & Listing — Created as a standard token with public metadata.
- Trading Enablement — Available on Swaps, Escrow Orders, or both.
- Operations — Trading occurs; if applicable, rewards/dividends are handled separately and transparently.
- Change Management — Public updates (e.g., status labels) keep users informed.
- Evolution — As liquidity grows, an asset may rely more on Swaps; Escrow remains for block trades.
5) Safety & transparency
- Separation of concerns — Trading, order custody, and any rewards program run as distinct processes.
- Public status — Assets carry simple, public labels (e.g., active or paused) when relevant.
- Audit trails — Activity is visible on-chain; public pages summarise what matters.
6) Where to see data
Asset pages — name, symbol, metadata, and status.
Swaps view — current swap interface and recent pool activity.
Orders view — open orders and recent fills for escrow-traded assets.
7) Roles
- Users — swap, place/cancel orders, and hold assets in their wallets.
- Participants / Market Makers — provide liquidity and help maintain orderly markets.
- Governance / Compliance — oversee listings and public status changes where required.
8) FAQs
Is every asset available in both Swaps and Escrow?
Not always. Popular assets typically appear on Swaps. Assets with thinner or episodic liquidity often rely on Escrow Orders. Some assets support both.
Can an asset move from Escrow to Swaps over time?
Yes. As interest and liquidity increase, assets may become suitable for pool-based trading while Escrow remains available for larger blocks.
Are rewards/dividends tied to the trading method?
No. If an asset offers rewards or dividends, those are handled separately and explained on dedicated pages.
Do I need a special wallet?
No. Standard wallets that support Solana tokens work. Keep your keys safe and follow wallet best practices.
