# UIA

User Issued Asset (UIA) is a type of digital token within UPCX that is created and managed by a UPCX user or organization.

UIAs enable users to create their own tokens with specific properties, rules, and functionalities tailored to their specific needs. These tokens can represent anything from shares in a company, reward points, loyalty tokens, or even digital representations of physical assets.

In UPCX, the person or organization issuing the UIA has control over its supply and can freely decide on parameters like transferability, divisibility, and various other properties. Furthermore, UIA also has other benefits such as the ability to create Whitelists to limit possible UIA holders and to allow trading and transfer only in specific pre-defined currency pairs.

Depending on the settings and rules, UIAs can be traded on UPCX’s decentralized exchange (DEX). This allows users to trade and transfer ownership of assets in a secure and decentralized manner.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://upyy.gitbook.io/upyy/optimization/uia.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
