Tokenized Samarium by Toto Finance
Where Neodymium Fails from Heat, Samarium Keeps Working. Now Anyone Can Own It.
At 150°C, neodymium magnets begin to lose their grip. At 200°C, they degrade. At 350°C, they are useless. But inside a fighter jet engine, a missile guidance system, a satellite reaction wheel, or a downhole drilling motor, 350°C is not an extreme scenario. It is the operating environment. That is where samarium takes over. Samarium-cobalt magnets maintain full magnetic performance at temperatures that would destroy every NdFeB magnet ever manufactured. Every F-35 carries 12 to 15 kilograms of SmCo magnets. Every satellite propulsion system depends on them. Every precision-guided munition uses them. China controls 85% of production, and the 4,200-tonne supply gap projected for 2030 is widening with every defense contract signed and every satellite constellation launched. Yet access to samarium as an individual investment asset has never existed outside industrial rare earth procurement. Toto Finance is changing that by bringing the magnet metal that operates where no other can on-chain for the first time.
THE WHY
Neodymium Gets the Headlines. Samarium Gets the Mission Done.
We chose samarium because it represents the most underappreciated single point of failure in the global defense and aerospace supply chain. Not underappreciated because the military does not depend on it. Underappreciated because the conversation about rare earth magnets has been so dominated by neodymium that the element which actually operates in the most demanding environments has been relegated to an afterthought.
The defense industry does not use neodymium magnets in fighter jets. It cannot. NdFeB magnets lose magnetic strength above 150°C and become completely unreliable above 200°C. Inside a jet engine nacelle, behind a missile nosecone, within a satellite reaction wheel, and at the bottom of an oil well, operating temperatures routinely exceed 200°C and often reach 350°C. Samarium-cobalt magnets are the only permanent magnets on Earth rated for these conditions. They resist demagnetization at extreme temperatures, withstand corrosive environments without protective coatings, and maintain dimensional stability under mechanical shock and vibration. The F-35, the most expensive weapons platform in history, depends on 12 to 15 kilograms of SmCo magnets per airframe. Every precision-guided munition, every military satellite, every radar system capable of operating in hostile thermal environments uses samarium. China controls 85% of global samarium production. The US Department of Defense has designated samarium as a critical defense material. And the 4,200-tonne supply deficit projected for 2030 has no resolution in sight.
That is why we exist.
1,850 tonnes
A Defense Supply Chain Already in Deficit
Roskill forecasts a 1,850-tonne samarium deficit in 2025, with the gap accelerating through the decade. China controls 85% of global samarium production, and export restrictions are creating acute supply scarcity for Western defense and aerospace manufacturers at the exact moment that military modernization programs are scaling production. Every allied nation's fighter jet program, satellite constellation, and missile inventory depends on samarium sourced overwhelmingly from a single geopolitical competitor.
350°C
The Temperature Where Only Samarium Survives
Samarium-cobalt magnets operate reliably at continuous temperatures up to 350°C, with peak tolerance reaching 550°C for specialized grades. Neodymium magnets begin losing performance above 150°C and become operationally useless above 200°C. This 200-degree performance gap is not a marginal engineering advantage. It is the difference between a magnet technology that can operate inside jet engines, missile systems, and downhole drilling equipment and one that physically cannot. There is no emerging material that closes this gap. SmCo's thermal dominance is structural and permanent.
4,200 tonnes
A Deficit That Deepens with Every Defense Contract Signed
Global samarium demand is projected to reach 11,800 tonnes per year by 2030, while supply from existing and planned rare earth operations will deliver only 7,600 tonnes. The 4,200-tonne gap represents a 36% shortfall. Every F-35 delivery, every satellite constellation expansion, every missile production contract, every offshore drilling program adds permanent samarium demand to a supply base that is not expanding at anything approaching the required pace.
THE ELEMENT
Understanding Why Samarium Operates Where Every Other Magnet Material Fails
The rare earth element that gives permanent magnets their extreme-temperature performance. Essential for the SmCo alloy inside every fighter jet, missile system, and satellite operating at temperatures that would destroy neodymium alternatives.
Sm
- Atomic Number: 62
- Density: 7,520 kg/m³
- Melting Point: 1,072°C
- Magnet Role: Extreme-Temperature Stability
- Classification: Defense-Grade Magnet Element
The Element
Where It Comes From
Extracted from bastnäsite, monazite, and ionic clay minerals in China, USA, Australia, India, Brazil, and Greenland. Samarium is a co-product of rare earth processing, comprising approximately 3% of rare earth concentrates. China controls 85% of global production, with separation and SmCo alloy manufacturing concentrated in Chinese facilities that serve both domestic military programs and export markets under tightening restrictions.
Ore → Chemical Separation → Ion Exchange Purification → Samarium Oxide Reduction → 99.9% Pure Samarium Metal → SmCo Alloy Sintering
The Thermal Resilience That No Other Magnet Delivers
Samarium-cobalt magnets (SmCo) maintain full magnetic performance at temperatures up to 350°C continuous operation, with specialized grades surviving 550°C peaks. SmCo magnets resist corrosion without protective coatings, withstand radiation exposure in space environments, and maintain dimensional stability under extreme mechanical shock and vibration. Samarium also possesses the highest neutron absorption cross-section of any non-fissile element, making it critical for nuclear reactor control rod assemblies. Additionally, the radioactive isotope samarium-153 is used in cancer therapy to treat bone metastases.
Where It Goes
SmCo permanent magnets for fighter jets (F-35, F-22, Eurofighter), satellite electric propulsion and reaction wheels, missile guidance actuators and sensors, radar and electronic warfare systems, downhole drilling motors operating at 200°C+, nuclear reactor control rods, samarium-153 cancer therapy (bone metastases), infrared-absorbing glass for laser range-finding, high-temperature industrial motors and actuators.

THE CATALYST
Every Military Modernization Program on Earth Is a Samarium Procurement Commitment. Supply Covers None of Them.
There is no substitute for samarium-cobalt magnets in extreme-temperature applications. No alternative permanent magnet material operates reliably above 200°C. No emerging technology closes the thermal performance gap between SmCo and NdFeB. Every fighter jet that rolls off a production line contains samarium. Every satellite launched into orbit depends on it. Every precision-guided munition fired carries it. Every drilling rig reaching deep formations requires it. Defense procurement does not negotiate with material physics. When the operating environment demands magnetic performance at 350°C, the procurement office writes a samarium purchase order. And global supply is not remotely prepared for the volume of purchase orders being generated by simultaneous military modernization, space commercialization, and energy exploration programs worldwide.
Fighter Aircraft: 12 to 15 Kilograms of Samarium per Airframe
A single F-35 Lightning II contains 12 to 15 kilograms of samarium-cobalt magnets distributed across flight control actuators, sensor systems, engine accessories, and avionics equipment. The F-22, Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafale, and every fifth-generation fighter program in development uses SmCo magnets in identical roles. With global military aircraft deliveries accelerating across allied nations simultaneously rearming, aerospace defense demand alone consumes over 2,400 tonnes of samarium annually, and every new fighter contract adds permanent consumption to a supply chain that was already in deficit before the current rearmament cycle began.
Satellite Propulsion and Attitude Control: SmCo in Every Orbit
Electric propulsion systems in satellites depend on SmCo magnets for Hall-effect ion thrusters and reaction wheel assemblies that must operate in the radiation-intense, temperature-cycling environment of space for 15 to 20 year mission lifetimes. The global satellite manufacturing market requires an estimated 850 tonnes of samarium annually, growing at 14% compound annual growth rate through 2030 as mega-constellations from Starlink, OneWeb, Amazon Kuiper, and sovereign programs deploy thousands of spacecraft simultaneously.
Precision-Guided Munitions: Samarium in Every Strike
Every precision-guided missile, smart bomb, and autonomous munition uses samarium-cobalt magnets in guidance actuators, sensor assemblies, and control surface motors that must function reliably after launch acceleration, aerodynamic heating, and terminal maneuver stresses. Defense procurement of samarium for munitions is classified by volume but is understood to represent a significant and growing share of total consumption. NATO's munition restocking programs following inventory drawdowns have created surge demand that compounds the structural deficit.
Oil and Gas Downhole Equipment: Magnetic Performance at Depth
High-temperature downhole drilling motors, measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tools, and logging-while-drilling (LWD) instruments require SmCo magnets to operate reliably at 200°C+ temperatures encountered in deep and ultra-deep wells. The oil and gas sector consumes an estimated 1,200 tonnes of samarium annually for exploration and production equipment. As drilling depths increase to access unconventional reserves and offshore fields, the thermal demands on downhole magnetic components intensify, and SmCo remains the only solution.

Multi-year samarium positions backed by proven rare earth reserves at earlier-stage operations. Built for sovereign strategic reserves securing defense supply chains against Chinese export disruption, aerospace primes planning decade-scale fighter and satellite production, energy companies reserving downhole equipment supply, and institutional allocators who understand that the samarium deficit is the defense industry's materials problem with no diplomatic solution.
SOURCING
Securing the Magnet Metal That Keeps Defense Systems Operational at 350°C. Directly.
Samarium is a co-product of rare earth mining, extracted from the same bastnäsite, monazite, and ionic clay deposits that produce neodymium, praseodymium, and other lanthanides. Its supply chain is concentrated: 85% of production originates in China, with separation and SmCo alloy manufacturing overwhelmingly controlled by Chinese facilities. Toto Finance works directly with rare earth mining companies and SmCo alloy processing facilities to secure samarium at the separation and metal production level, bypassing the trader networks that have historically stood between rare earth producers and the defense and aerospace industries that consume the finished product.
North America (United States and Canada)
Mountain Pass (California) produces rare earth concentrates containing samarium, with MP Materials expanding domestic separation capability under Defense Production Act funding. Bear Lodge (Wyoming) and Canadian projects in Quebec and Saskatchewan are developing samarium-bearing rare earth processing capacity. US government investment through the Defense Production Act, Inflation Reduction Act, and Department of Defense critical minerals programs specifically targets samarium supply security for domestic fighter jet, satellite, and missile production programs.
Australia
Australia hosts significant samarium-bearing rare earth deposits across Western Australia and Northern Territory, with Lynas Rare Earths operating the largest non-Chinese rare earth processing facility globally. Australian samarium supply is strategically important for AUKUS defense procurement, allied fighter jet programs, and Western satellite manufacturing supply chains seeking to reduce dependence on Chinese-controlled separation capacity.
Greenland and Nordic Region
Greenland's Kvanefjeld and Kringlerne projects contain substantial samarium reserves alongside other heavy and light rare earth elements. Nordic rare earth operations across Sweden and Norway are strategically prioritized for NATO and European defense industrial base supply chain diversification, offering samarium sourcing routes entirely outside Chinese influence.
Africa
Emerging rare earth projects across Burundi, Tanzania, Madagascar, and South Africa contain samarium-bearing deposits. New processing facilities under development offer the potential to establish African samarium supply routes, expanding the geographic diversity of non-Chinese production and creating In-Ground Samarium positions at pre-production economics.
Developed Mines
Established rare earth mines in active production across multiple continents, delivering consistent samarium output with proven operational track records, full separation infrastructure, and existing off-take relationships. These operations supply the samarium metal that backs 1:1 token positions with immediate delivery capability.
Exploration and Development
New rare earth fields in preparation and exploration phases across Scandinavia, South America, Central Asia, and other emerging rare earth provinces. These represent the next generation of samarium supply, and In-Ground Samarium positions offer access at pre-production economics before separation output reaches the defense procurement market.
Secured at the separation and metal production stage. Samarium comes from the same rare earth deposits that produce neodymium and praseodymium, but its path to industrial use diverges at the separation facility where individual rare earth oxides are isolated. Toto Finance works at this critical processing point, eliminating the broker and trader layers that have historically mediated between rare earth producers and defense-grade SmCo magnet manufacturers. Verified provenance. Transparent chain of custody from mine to token. Access to the extreme-temperature magnet metal that aerospace and defense cannot operate without.
PARTICIPANTS
Who Buys Tokenized Samarium
Samarium has never been individually accessible as an investment asset. It has always been procured through industrial rare earth channels, bundled into SmCo alloy pricing, traded through Chinese-dominated supply networks, and available only to organizations with the procurement infrastructure to negotiate directly with rare earth separation facilities. The defense contractors, satellite manufacturers, and drilling companies that consume samarium have had no mechanism to secure forward supply independently, hedge specific samarium price risk outside combined rare earth quotations, or invest in the element as a standalone material. Toto Finance creates that mechanism for the first time.
The Companies That Build What Operates at 350°C
These buyers do not speculate on samarium prices. They consume samarium in the SmCo magnets that become actuators, that become guidance systems, that become the components ensuring a fighter jet's control surfaces respond, a missile reaches its target, and a satellite maintains orientation for a 20-year mission lifetime. Tokenized samarium gives them supply continuity, procurement transparency outside Chinese-controlled channels, and physical delivery capability for an element that the US Department of Defense has designated as critical to national security.
Aerospace defense contractors (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems), SmCo permanent magnet manufacturers, fighter jet and military aircraft producers, satellite and space propulsion system manufacturers, missile and precision-guided munition producers, military radar and electronic warfare system manufacturers, nuclear reactor control rod fabricators, oil and gas downhole drilling equipment producers, high-temperature industrial motor and actuator manufacturers, samarium-153 cancer therapy isotope producers.
Investing in the Material the Military Cannot Operate Without
Investors who follow the neodymium rare earth narrative rarely examine which magnet element actually operates inside fighter jets, missiles, and satellites. It is not neodymium. It is samarium. SmCo magnets dominate every extreme-temperature military application because they are the only permanent magnets that function at the operating temperatures those systems generate. The defense industry's samarium dependence is absolute, its procurement is price-insensitive, and its supply deficit is widening with every rearmament program funded. Tokenized samarium offers direct exposure to this non-negotiable military dependency, with fractional access from $1 and a demand trajectory driven by government appropriations, not consumer markets.
Collateral Backed by the Element Governments Classify as Strategically Critical
When governments designate a material as critical to national defense, they are making a public statement that demand for that material is structurally guaranteed regardless of economic conditions. Samarium carries critical mineral designations from the United States, European Union, Japan, and allied nations. Tokenized samarium offers on-chain participants collateral backed by an element whose demand floor is set by military budgets rather than market sentiment: the same supply constraints as other rare earths, but with demand underwritten by defense appropriations that are not subject to consumer spending cycles or interest rate sensitivity.
Crypto funds seeking defense-correlated commodity exposure with government-guaranteed demand floors, protocol treasuries diversifying into materials classified as strategically critical by multiple allied nations, DeFi protocols building collateral pools backed by defense procurement obligations, blockchain foundations investing in the physical layer of military modernization, DAOs with critical mineral and defense technology investment mandates.
GLOBAL TRADE
Instant Settlement for Tokenized Samarium. No Rare Earth Traders. No Defense Procurement Delays.
Samarium procurement has historically operated through the same Chinese-dominated rare earth trading channels that control neodymium and praseodymium, layered with additional complexity from defense material classifications, export licensing, and end-use verification requirements. For an element that the Department of Defense designates as critical to national security, the procurement infrastructure moves at the speed of government contracting rather than the speed of military need. Brokers, traders, banks, clearing houses, and regulatory intermediaries extract time and cost at every stage while defense manufacturers wait weeks or months for settlement of a material their production lines consume daily. We built a system that settles in seconds.
The Old Way
8+ Intermediaries. Weeks to Settle. Opaque Pricing.
Settlement: T+5 to T+30 (standard for rare earth transactions)
The Toto Finance Way
Source ↔ Buyer. Direct. Instant.
Settlement: T+0 (Instant)
Samarium has been traded through the same opaque, intermediary-heavy channels that govern the broader rare earth market: Chinese-controlled separation facilities feeding international traders who supply SmCo alloy manufacturers who deliver magnets to defense contractors. At every stage, pricing is opaque, settlement is slow, and the actual material passes through hands that add cost without adding value. Toto Finance uses blockchain to remove these layers entirely, creating a transparent, direct-settlement market where samarium producers connect with defense manufacturers, satellite companies, institutional investors, and qualified buyers through infrastructure that settles in seconds rather than weeks and publishes pricing in real time rather than behind bilateral negotiation walls.
Settlement at the Speed a Defense Supply Chain Demands
USDC
Circle
Fully reserved and independently attested dollar stablecoin engineered for institutional settlement. The compliance architecture and regulatory transparency that defense prime contractors, aerospace procurement teams, and sovereign resource acquisition programs require for auditable digital commodity transactions involving strategically designated materials.
USDT
Tether
Over $140 billion in global circulation providing the settlement depth that defense-scale rare earth transactions require. When procurement operates at the tonnage levels of fighter jet production lines and satellite constellation manufacturing, USDT delivers the execution infrastructure to settle without counterparty friction or volume constraints, regardless of transaction size.
USAT
Tether (US Regulated)
US-regulated stablecoin under the GENIUS Act framework. Purpose-built for critical mineral procurement where Defense Production Act compliance, ITAR sourcing requirements, and Berry Amendment domestic preference mandates govern the acquisition of materials classified as essential to national defense and aerospace manufacturing.
SECONDARY MARKETS
DeFi Infrastructure for Tokenized Samarium
Samarium has never existed as an independently tradeable financial asset. It has been embedded in combined rare earth pricing, bundled into SmCo alloy quotations, and procured through the same Chinese-controlled channels that govern the broader rare earth market. No standalone exchange listing. No dedicated ETF. No independent futures contract. No lending facility. No collateral framework. Tokenization does not merely digitize samarium. It extracts it from the combined rare earth pricing structure for the first time, creating an independent financial identity for an element that the defense industry consumes in thousands of tonnes annually but that the financial market has never individually recognized.
The First Independent Samarium Market for Defense-Grade Material
Before tokenization, samarium did not have its own market. It had a line item inside combined rare earth oxide pricing and SmCo alloy quotations. No defense contractor could hedge samarium price risk independently. No investor could take a standalone position in the extreme-temperature magnet element. Tokenized samarium creates the first dedicated trading venue: a continuous secondary market on decentralized exchanges where price discovery for samarium happens independently of bundled rare earth pricing, transfers execute instantly, and the element that defense and aerospace depend on at 350°C becomes its own investable asset class.
Yield Derived from the Element That Keeps Weapon Systems Operational
Lend samarium tokens to counterparties seeking leveraged exposure to defense-correlated rare earth pricing or hedged positions in aerospace supply chain materials. Interest rates reflect real-world demand driven by fighter jet delivery schedules, satellite constellation deployment timelines, missile restocking programs, and downhole drilling equipment orders. Yield generated by military procurement budgets rather than consumer markets, applied to an element whose demand trajectory is set by government appropriations with multi-decade planning horizons.
Capital Without Surrendering Defense Supply Chain Positions
Defense contractors and institutional investors holding samarium positions have historically had no mechanism for accessing capital from those holdings independently, because samarium has never been independently held as a financial asset. Tokenized samarium changes this entirely. Borrow against samarium tokens to receive stablecoins while maintaining full exposure. For SmCo magnet manufacturers managing alloy inventory against fighter jet delivery schedules, this creates a liquidity mechanism that has never existed for this element.
Risk Management for an Element Classified as Critical to National Security
Samarium's supply risk concentrates at multiple levels simultaneously: 85% production in China, export control exposure, defense material classification constraints, and a separation infrastructure that cannot scale independently of neodymium processing. But risk management tools have never existed for samarium independently. Smart contract infrastructure automates collateral monitoring, margin management, and position adjustment in real time, providing the first risk architecture built specifically for a material that carries national security designations from every major allied government.
From Rare Earth Separation to Defense-Grade Digital Asset: The Samarium Token Path
Separated: Samarium oxide isolated at rare earth separation facility, reduced to metal, secured in insured custody, and bound to on-chain token identity
Acquired: Purchased with USDC, USDT, or USAT at transparent pricing reflecting real-time defense procurement demand and supply concentration dynamics
Positioned: Held in wallet, traded on secondary markets, or bridged across chains to integrate with holder procurement and portfolio infrastructure
Activated: Deployed into yield protocols, pledged as loan collateral, or structured for defense supply chain disruption hedging
Delivered: Redeemed for physical samarium metal (99.9%+ Sm) for SmCo magnet alloy sintering, nuclear control rod fabrication, or defense-grade industrial application
WHY TOKENIZED
Tokenized Samarium vs Every Other Way to Get Exposure
There has never been a way to invest in samarium independently. Rare earth ETFs dilute it across dozens of elements. Mining stocks carry operational risk unrelated to samarium pricing. Physical procurement operates through Chinese-dominated channels with opaque pricing and weeks-long settlement. Toto Finance built what the defense supply chain has never offered: standalone, fractional, instant access to the element that operates where no other magnet material can.

PLATFORM
Building Financial Infrastructure for the Magnet Metal That Defense Cannot Substitute
Samarium has never had its own financial infrastructure because it has never been treated as its own asset. Bundled with other rare earth elements in combined pricing, traded through the same opaque channels that govern neodymium and praseodymium, procured through industrial networks that offer no standalone access. No independent contracts. No separate pricing benchmarks. No settlement infrastructure specific to the element that makes every extreme-temperature magnet on Earth possible. Every feature of the Toto Finance platform for samarium was built from first principles because the defense industry's most critical magnet material has never existed as an independent financial instrument.
Physical Backing with Defense-Grade Delivery Capability
Every samarium token connects to verified samarium metal (99.9%+ Sm) in insured custody. Request physical delivery and receive material ready for SmCo magnet alloy sintering, nuclear control rod fabrication, or specialized industrial applications. In a market where samarium has always been procured through opaque rare earth trading channels with weeks-long settlement, on-chain proof-of-reserves creates the first independent, real-time verification of samarium holdings outside the traditional rare earth trading infrastructure.
Independent Price Discovery for an Element That Has Never Had Its Own Benchmark
Samarium has never had a standalone price benchmark. It has been quoted as a component of combined rare earth oxide pricing or embedded in SmCo alloy costs, with its individual value invisible to investors and opaque even to industrial procurement teams. Toto Finance's oracle feeds and on-chain trading activity create the first independent samarium pricing mechanism: real-time, separately verifiable, and reflective of samarium's own supply-demand dynamics rather than its value buried inside combined rare earth quotations.
Instant Settlement for a Material Trapped in Government Procurement Timelines
Traditional samarium procurement moves at the speed of rare earth trading infrastructure: bilateral negotiations, Chinese export processing, international shipping, banking intermediaries, and settlement timelines measured in weeks. For defense manufacturers whose production lines consume samarium daily, waiting weeks for settlement of a material designated as critical to national security is an operational contradiction. Token settlement creates instant procurement capability, settling T+0 with stablecoins while maintaining full compliance with defense material acquisition requirements.
Compliance for Critical Defense Material Transactions
Samarium trade operates within regulatory frameworks governing critical minerals and defense materials: export controls, critical mineral designations, Defense Production Act requirements, Berry Amendment domestic preference mandates, and allied nation defense procurement regulations. Smart contracts embed KYC/AML verification, transfer restrictions, and jurisdiction-specific compliance rules directly into token architecture, ensuring every transaction satisfies the regulatory requirements that apply to a material classified as critical to national security by the United States, European Union, Japan, and allied governments.
Financial Infrastructure for the Overlooked Half of the Magnet Market
Lending, borrowing, hedging, and collateral management for samarium as a standalone asset: functions that have never existed in any form because samarium has never existed as an independent financial instrument. While neodymium captures rare earth headlines, samarium operates in every application where neodymium physically cannot. Smart contract protocols enable yield generation from samarium positions, stablecoin borrowing against holdings, and programmable hedging strategies built specifically for the extreme-temperature magnet element.
Multi-Chain Presence
Tokenized samarium is deployed across Ethereum, Polygon, Cardano, Solana, and XRP Ledger. Defense procurement platforms, institutional custodians, DeFi protocols, and individual holders can interact with samarium tokens on whatever chain infrastructure their operations already use. No migration required, no ecosystem lock-in, no chain-specific constraints on accessing defense-grade magnet material.
QUESTIONS
Tokenized Samarium FAQ
Direct answers about tokenized samarium, In-Ground Samarium, SmCo magnet demand, defense supply chains, and how Toto Finance provides the first standalone access to the extreme-temperature magnet element.
THIS IS WHY
Every Fighter Jet, Every Satellite, Every Missile Depends on a Magnet That Only Samarium Can Power at Operating Temperature.
The world needs 11,800 tonnes of samarium by 2030. Supply will deliver 7,600. The 4,200-tonne gap is not a market cycle that higher prices will correct. It is the structural consequence of 85% production concentration in China colliding with a synchronized global rearmament, space commercialization, and energy exploration cycle that adds permanent demand faster than any non-Chinese supply expansion can match. Toto Finance is building the infrastructure to bring the extreme-temperature magnet metal on-chain as an independent, transparent, instant-settlement asset for the first time.
