An asset is a financial instrument someone has put onchain: a stablecoin, a tokenized fund, a tokenized share. Someone issues it, it exists as token contracts on one or more chains, and it tracks or wraps something else: a currency, a stock, a commodity, another cryptoasset.

Daily asset tables: supply, holders, transfers, price, yield and the gap from peg.

Assets and deployments

An asset belongs to no particular chain. A deployment does: it is one token contract on one chain. USDC is a single row in dimensions.assets, and each of its onchain contracts is a row in dimensions.asset_tokens. Supply, holder and transfer measures are counted per deployment and added up to the asset. Price and the gap from peg exist only for the asset, because a price belongs to the instrument rather than to any one contract. An asset also points at something. dimensions.reference_assets names what an instrument tracks or wraps, and pointing at a currency is what makes an asset a currency-pegged stablecoin. Registry covers all three tables, and Metrics says which measure answers which question.
