# Asset Tokenization API

Liquid's APIs allow developers to **create and manage tokenized assets** via simple **HTTP endpoints**.\
Example endpoints include:

***

* **POST `/api/assets/tokenize`**\
  Submit a new asset for tokenization.\
  The payload includes:

  * Owner information
  * Asset details (type, value, jurisdiction, etc.)
  * Token parameters (name, total supply, symbol, etc.)

  Upon submission, the Liquid backend will:

  * Initiate **KYC verification** (if not already completed for that user)
  * Begin **legal document generation**
  * Start asset onboarding processes.

  The API responds with a **tracking ID** for the tokenization workflow.

***

* **GET `/api/assets/{id}`**\
  Retrieve the **status and details** of a tokenization request or minted asset.\
  This can show:
  * Steps completed (e.g., KYC, Legal Setup, Minting Status)
  * Final minted token's address once deployment is complete.
  * Links to metadata or legal documentation if available.

***

* **POST `/api/assets/{id}/distribute`** *(Planned)*\
  Distribute minted tokens to a **list of wallet addresses**.\
  For example, if an asset owner wants to send shares to investors.

  The payload would include:

  * A list of **Solana wallet addresses**.
  * Corresponding **amounts of tokens** for each address.

  The backend would:

  * Create the necessary token transfer transactions.
  * **Verify KYC compliance** for each recipient before transferring tokens.

***

These APIs are designed to make **integrating Liquid into external apps** or **scaling tokenization workflows** easy and programmatic — whether you're a fintech company, a real estate platform, or an institutional partner.
