# Asset Issuance — Overview

03 / ASSET ISSUANCE

Asset Issuance is how an issuer brings an instrument on-chain: deploy the token, distribute it
to eligible holders, and settle NAV and distributions over its life. Issuance is compliance-gated
end to end — every transfer runs through the issuer's policy.

## Where it fits (regulatory boundary)

The issuer owns the offering, the instrument terms, and the economics. Clossir provides
deployment, distribution, NAV, and fee rails; it does not issue the instrument on its own behalf.

## Key features

* Token deployment across supported chains
* Compliance-gated distribution to eligible holders
* NAV settlement and distributions
* Fees and fee sharing (see [Fees](/products/asset-issuance/fees))

## Use cases

* Tokenizing funds, credit, and other RWAs
* Periodic NAV updates and distributions to holders
* Primary distribution to verified investors

## How it works

The issuer deploys a token bound to a compliance policy, distributes to eligible holders, and
settles NAV/distributions on a schedule. See
[Token, NAV & distributions](/products/asset-issuance/token-nav).

## Dependencies

Requires Compliance (transfer gating) and Identity (holder eligibility).
