### A BRIC is a digital token that represents a part or a fraction of the underlying real-world asset you invested in.

The concept is based on fractional investing, where the investor can purchase just a fraction or part of a tokenised asset rather than one whole.

Likwid Asset uses the Avalanche blockchain to issue digital asset tokens (BRIC) that represent ownership of real-life assets like property and solar projects. This blockchain-based token issuance enables fractional ownership, allowing both institutional and individual investors to own fractions of real-world assets all around the globe.
