# Cryptonative

{% hint style="info" %}
**Definition**: Cryptonative assets are Web3-native instruments that enable novel ecological functions, rights, or incentives with no direct off-chain analogue.
{% endhint %}

These include governance tokens for environmental DAOs, ecological data rights, or impact-to-earn systems. Their ecological value emerges from coordination, incentivization, or informational properties inherent to the blockchain ecosystem
