# Beyond Issuance

Theo is going beyond issuance to power **onchain ecosystems**, not just tokenized assets. We start by working with top financial institutions to tokenize high-quality assets using compliant smart contracts. But that’s just the first step.

We design every product to be part of a living, liquid, onchain economy.

## Ecosystems for Tokenized Products

In order to be compelling alternatives to their traditional counterparts, tokenized products must have complete onchain ecosystems. At Theo, we strive to create assets with:

### Deep Liquidity

Theo ensures liquid trading books for tokenized assets across both on- and offchain venues by bootstrapping liquidity first-hand and in partnership with leading market makers.

With this, users can allocate to Theo assets at any size, any time.

### Efficient Lending

Tokenized assets are built with leverage and capital efficiency in mind. That means native support for collateralization on both onchain lending protocols and exchanges.

### Composability

Theo assets are natively composable with onchain protocols. In addition to enabling onchain trading and lending, this opens additional possibilities such as onchain strucuted products, asset control, and more.
