What is an asset?

In addition to tokens, the value that can be stored on the blockchain can also be a large number of non-token assets, such as an article, a picture, a map, or a certificate. Assets can be created by a user or an application. Once created, they can be used for transactions, usage, and other behaviors. What you do depends on the application.

The non-token asset in Forge is called assetFor more information about assets, see Here
