The future of asset issuance and management on the blockchain
The Coreum Development Foundation has revealed the addition of Smart Token functionality to the Coreum blockchain – A revolutionary technology for tokens to execute contract-like functions independently and with great flexibility while operating on-chain.
At present, tokens hold value, whereas smart contracts hold data. By wrapping natively issued tokens around smart contracts, this new technology, denoted as a “Smart Token,” is able to manipulate the value of the token since it holds the data and built-in programmability necessary to authorize and execute transactions accordingly. Smart Tokens on Coreum are highly customizable, as developers can extend the set of provided functionality per token and add non-deterministic, smart contract-like functions to achieve greater flexibility for powerful use cases.

The Coreum blockchain has a unique perspective on tokens and assets, especially as it was born out of necessity to support Sologenic, a sophisticated ecosystem built to facilitate the on-demand tokenization of a wide range of securities such as stocks and ETFs. Tokens and assets on Coreum are specifically designed to provide the essential tools and infrastructure for enterprises of any size to build and run decentralized applications. With Smart Token functionality, enterprises utilizing the network can pre-determine behaviors of particular tokens in order to execute hyper-specific transactions without the need for an intermediary.
“An integral part of the Coreum blockchain is support for deploying and executing smart contracts, as the flexibility offered by smart contracts brings countless possibilities to enterprises utilizing the network,” said Bob Ras, co-founder of Coreum. “Smart Tokens are all about extending functionality – they expand the capabilities of smart contracts by increasing speed, cost-efficiency, predictability, security, and of course, extendibility. Taking it one step further, Smart Tokens have massive programmable value, and they can trigger other contracts. Think of a regular token ‘juiced up’ on applicability, running on its own — that’s Smart Tokens on Coreum – that’s a game changer.”
