Assets

Object of the :pyAsset <stellar_sdk.asset.Asset> class represents an asset in the Stellar network. Right now there are 3 possible types of assets in the Stellar network:

  • native XLM asset (ASSET_TYPE_NATIVE),
  • issued assets with asset code of maximum 4 characters (ASSET_TYPE_CREDIT_ALPHANUM4),
  • issued assets with asset code of maximum 12 characters (ASSET_TYPE_CREDIT_ALPHANUM12).

To create a new native asset representation use static :pynative() <stellar_sdk.asset.Asset.native> method:

from stellar_sdk import Asset
native = Asset.native()

To represent an issued asset you need to create a new object of type :pyAsset <stellar_sdk.asset.Asset> with an asset code and issuer:

from stellar_sdk import Asset
# Creates TEST asset issued by GBBM6BKZPEHWYO3E3YKREDPQXMS4VK35YLNU7NFBRI26RAN7GI5POFBB
test_asset = Asset("TEST", "GBBM6BKZPEHWYO3E3YKREDPQXMS4VK35YLNU7NFBRI26RAN7GI5POFBB")
is_native = test_asset.is_native()  # False
# Creates Google stock asset issued by GBBM6BKZPEHWYO3E3YKREDPQXMS4VK35YLNU7NFBRI26RAN7GI5POFBB
google_stock_asset = Asset('US38259P7069', 'GBBM6BKZPEHWYO3E3YKREDPQXMS4VK35YLNU7NFBRI26RAN7GI5POFBB')
google_stock_asset_type = google_stock_asset.type  # credit_alphanum12
