Branded digital assets, without starting from a blockchain

Define an asset, its supply model and its precision. Run it on an internal ledger, and move it to a public network only when that genuinely adds something.

Problem

The technology choice usually comes before the business case

Businesses are asked to pick a chain before they can answer what the asset is for, who holds it, whether it expires and what happens when a customer disputes a balance.

The infrastructure decision then constrains the product for years, and most of the time the public network was never required.

Solution

Internal ledger first

Assets are defined by their behaviour: supply model, precision, transferability, expiry and redemption. That definition runs on the internal double-entry ledger from day one, with no gas, no wallet setup and no network dependency.

When an asset genuinely benefits from a public network — external liquidity, third-party custody, verifiable scarcity — the same asset definition can be issued there without redefining the product.

Architecture

An asset through its lifecycle

  1. Define01

    Name, symbol, precision, supply model

  2. Issue02

    Minted to a treasury or directly to a wallet

  3. Transfer03

    Moved under transfer policy

  4. Redeem04

    Exchanged for a benefit and retired

  5. Expire05

    Aged out on schedule where configured

Features

Issuance authority separated from operational roles.

Infrastructure choice

Internal ledger, public network, permissioned network or a hybrid.

Use cases

What businesses run on it

Defining an asset

assets.tstypescript
const asset = await matinee.assets.create({
  name: 'Coffee Points',
  symbol: 'CFP',
  precision: 0,
  supply: { model: 'mint_on_demand' },
  transferable: false,
  expiry: { after: '12 months', from: 'issuance' },
  infrastructure: 'internal_ledger',
})
