# Blockchain Integration and Technical Features

<mark style="color:purple;">**Asset-Backed Token Standards**</mark>

Gaya uses advanced token standards tailored specifically for real-world asset tokenization, ensuring each token securely represents a physical asset and complies with regulatory and ownership requirements.

* **Security and Compliance:** Each token meets asset-backed standards, securing ownership data and adhering to regulatory guidelines. Compliance includes KYC/AML for token holders, ensuring that the integrity and legality of real-world asset ownership are maintained.
* **Metadata Integration:** Asset-backed tokens on Gaya contain detailed metadata for each asset, including location, valuation, ownership rights, and environmental impact metrics. This metadata is recorded on the blockchain, providing a transparent view into the characteristics and values of each asset.

<mark style="color:purple;">**Smart Contracts for Ownership and Transparency**</mark>

Gaya’s platform employs smart contracts to automate the management of ownership rights, transfer procedures, and financial distributions for asset-backed tokens. This allows for a transparent, decentralized system that protects investor interests.

* **Automated Ownership Transfers:** Ownership changes are securely executed and recorded on-chain through smart contracts. This eliminates intermediaries and ensures that all transfers of asset-backed tokens are immutable and transparent.
* **Proportional Earnings Distribution:** Smart contracts automatically distribute profits from each asset—such as revenues from travel packages—to token holders based on their fractional ownership. This guarantees accurate, timely payouts.
* **Investor Safeguards:** Smart contracts include protections to prevent unauthorized sales, valuation tampering, or manipulation, maintaining the security and reliability of Gaya’s asset tokenization model.

To ensure the accuracy and reliability of asset management, Gaya integrates both on-chain and off-chain data, allowing real-time synchronization for asset valuation and tracking.

* **On-Chain Data:** All essential data related to ownership rights, transaction history, and token transfers are stored on-chain. This data is immutable, transparent, and securely maintained, giving token holders confidence in the platform’s integrity.
* **Off-Chain Data Oracles:** Gaya employs oracles to bring in off-chain data, such as appraisals, income reports, or sustainability metrics for eco-friendly assets. This data is securely transmitted to the blockchain, where it interacts with Gaya’s smart contracts to ensure asset values are accurately updated and revenue distribution remains consistent.

Data Synchronization for Accurate Valuation: The continuous data feed via oracles ensures the blockchain reflects real-time asset values, giving users an accurate representation of their investments and fostering confidence in asset-backed tokens.
