# 2.3.1 Asset Chain

The Asset Chain is an independent blockchain, utilizing a Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism based RWA token.

In the first version  (Xend V2), nodes can participate and validate Asset Chain transactions through a dedicated PoS console. Moving to version 3 (Xend V3), the node operating system is integrated directly within the [Xend Browser](/3.0-xend-browser.md).

Assets are onboarded to the Asset Chain via Origin Studio as smart contracts with KYC-verified administrator assigned to that smart contract, linked with Xend ID.  Administration over the smart contract is functionally separated from asset ownership - please refer to the[ Asset Smart Contract Administration](/2.0-oae-onchain-assets-environment/2.8-assets-policy-in-oae/2.8.9-structured-asset-administration-policy.md) section of this paper for more details.&#x20;

Asset Chain introduces a variety of token standards, each tailored to the specific type of legal rights to the assets. For more details, please refer to [Assets as smart contracts, rights as tokens](/2.0-oae-onchain-assets-environment/2.8-assets-policy-in-oae/2.8.3-assets-as-smart-contracts-tokens-as-rights.md) section.&#x20;

Assets on the Asset Chain are bound by a verifiable legal binding policy. For further details, refer to the section on [Verifiable Legal Binding](/2.0-oae-onchain-assets-environment/2.8-assets-policy-in-oae/2.8.4-verifiable-legal-binding.md).

The primary wallet for the Asset Chain is the Xend OAE wallet, which supports native multi-signature setups. These&#x20;

multi-signature policies can be managed through the Origin Studio. For more details, please see [Xend Solutions](/2.0-oae-onchain-assets-environment/2.3-oae-products-overview/2.3.6-xend-solutions.md).
