Class of Solution: Digital Asset Market

In the early days of the internet, disruption took place by the ease of sharing information. As technological advances became the main engine behind the world wide web, individuals and corporations began to add intangible assets, in other words, value to the network. Thus, we live in an era where society has the power to share not only information but any kind of asset of value through the network, worldwide.

Nevertheless, today we face major systemic problems, related to the transaction of values, such as the centralization of the traditional economy, the externality of environmental costs, the enormous number of intermediaries involved in processes of value transactions, digital insecurity and centralized and limited value units — such as for example the dollar

Digital Asset Market is a kind of blockchain-based solution that aims to end these problems by providing transactions of any kind of value by making it a digital asset.

What does the solution provide?

Optimizes relationships, whether between two links in the chain or between businesses globally, eliminates intermediaries, enables new peer to peer value economies, considering financial profits and social and environmental impacts.

But what is a Digital Asset?

The definition of a digital asset is “anything that exists in binary data which is self-contained, uniquely identifiable, and has a value or ability to use.” Before technological advances, these assets were associated with images, videos, documents.
However, the advent of blockchain made it possible for the concept of digital assets to encompass much broader things, once the technology allows nearly anything that has value to be tokenized, becoming a digital asset. In this sense, this kind of solution has a disruptive power to bring more efficiency to markets or even to create new ones.
