# Open Assets Protocol

The Open Assets Protocol is a simple and powerful protocol built on top of the Bitcoin Blockchain. It allows issuance and transfer of user-created assets. The Open Assets Protocol is an evolution of the concept of colored coins.

The following documents are available:

* [Open Assets Protocol specification](specification.mediawiki): Specification of the core protocol

* [Open Assets Address Format specification](address-format.mediawiki): Special address format for wallets supporting the Open Assets Protocol, preventing assets from being sent to legacy wallets

* [Asset Definition Protocol specification](asset-definition-protocol.mediawiki): A protocol built on top of the Open Assets Protocol for associating an asset with metadata

* [Payment Requests specification](payment-requests.mediawiki): extensions to [BIP-70](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0070.mediawiki) and [BIP-21](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0021.mediawiki) describing payments in terms of assets instead of (or together with) regular bitcoins

* [Payment Methods specification](payment-methods.mediawiki): A protocol for negotiating the assets to be included in an [Open Assets Payment Request](payment-requests.mediawiki).

Source code related to the Open Assets Protocol:

* [`openassets` Python module](https://github.com/OpenAssets/openassets): The reference implementation of the Open Assets Protocol

* [Colorcore](https://github.com/OpenAssets/colorcore): A client providing a command line and RPC interface for performing operations through the Open Assets Protocol

* [NBitcoin](https://github.com/NicolasDorier/NBitcoin): A Complete .NET Library for Bitcoin with its [TransactionBuilder](http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/835098/NBitcoin-Build-Them-All) to issue, transfer and swap assets

* [BTCRuby](https://github.com/oleganza/btcruby): A Complete Ruby Library for Bitcoin with its [TransactionBuilder](https://github.com/oleganza/btcruby/blob/master/lib/btcruby/open_assets/asset_transaction_builder.rb) to issue, transfer and swap assets

* [CoreBitcoin](https://github.com/oleganza/CoreBitcoin): A Complete Objective-C Library for Bitcoin with support for [Payment Requests](payment-requests.mediawiki) and [Payment Methods](payment-methods.mediawiki)

* [openassets-ruby](https://github.com/haw-itn/openassets-ruby): A Ruby implementation of the Open Assets Protocol. This library is able to perform Open Assets operations using APIs like Colorcore.
