== Introduction ==
Blockchain is a technology that has the capacity of keeping immutable records of property ownership that are accessible to millions of users and it has the ability to constantly update as property ownership changes hands. Although this technology is broadly used for currency transactions, it is also a very promising technology for the transaction of assets, such as securities, land titles, art, documents, apps, etc. The Ravencoin platform is well-suited for this purpose because the wallets and asset protocol offer a very easy tool for creating asset tokens. '''These tokens have no value in themselves. Tokens only have value if there are real-world agreements, enforced through systems like smart contracts, law, whitepapers or other binding documents etc., that show what these token represent.''' Through such a system, tokens may represent real-world assets. These documents can be added to the asset metadata. Furthermore, Ravencoin asset tokens are well-suited for initial coin offerings (ICOs), security token offerings (STOs) or nonprofit organization token offerings (for fundraising).
'''Note''': We will add use cases as soon as we see them being developed by the community.
An important property of Ravencoin is that it is optimized to carry securities as it will allow for messaging share holders, voting, and paying out dividens (implemented in later development phases in the first half of 2019). Bruce Fenton gave a number of talks and produced a miniseries about why securities should go on a blockchain.
