# 💲 iAssets ## **Overview 🌐** #### Defining iAssets * iAssets, or "Indigo Assets," are synthetic assets created within the Indigo Protocol. Unlike wrapped assets, Protocol prices for iAssets are derived from tracked assets using a price Oracle, not requiring a bridge to deposit on another chain. These prices are used for liquidations, redemption, and interest settlements. ## **Available iAssets** * Upon launch, iBTC and iUSD were available for minting within the Indigo Protocol, offering users immediate access to synthetic versions of Bitcoin and a USD-pegged stablecoin. iETH came just a couple of months later after being approved by the DAO, providing exposure to Ethereum's price dynamics within the Cardano ecosystem. ## **Creating New iAssets 🛠️** #### Asset Potential * Any asset with a real-world price can be transformed into an iAsset with the Indigo Protocol so long as there is a viable price feed for the proposed iAsset. #### DAO Member Responsibility * The addition of new iAssets is overseen by DAO Members. If you wish to propose new iAssets, visit our Governance Forum to initiate a temperature check and engage in the discussion. ### --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
