# Tokenization example

In the image above there is an example of a piece of data that has been recorded to the blockchain: [https://whatsonchain.com/tx/8cd5df59f3b6631033](https://whatsonchain.com/tx/8cd5df59f3b6631033c1089e7ce1d7dde64f1d607b46c7bba81fee82dc85fbef?voutOffset=0\&output=1)[c1089e7ce1d7dde64f1d607b46c7bba81fee82dc85fbe](https://whatsonchain.com/tx/8cd5df59f3b6631033c1089e7ce1d7dde64f1d607b46c7bba81fee82dc85fbef?voutOffset=0\&output=1)[f?voutOffset=0\&output=1](https://whatsonchain.com/tx/8cd5df59f3b6631033c1089e7ce1d7dde64f1d607b46c7bba81fee82dc85fbef?voutOffset=0\&output=1) ​

As mentioned before this network is public and anyone can access it. In fact there are tools known as blockchain explorers that allow you to see in real time the data being recorded. **whatsonchain.com** is one of the explorers for the BSV blockchain. The image shows a piece of data that has been recorded and this is what is known as a token.

As can be seen in the **Outputs section**, which contains the data recorded in the network, in this case a text has been stored with certain values.

In this example **the text simply represents the creation of a new coin and lists all its attributes**, and once these are recorded on the blockchain they can never be changed.

Tokenizing is that simple, you have some data that represents something and describes it with its attributes, and you record it on the network.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/introduction-to-blockchain-technology/the-fundamentals-of-blockchain-and-web-3-technology/tokenization-example.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
