# Cross-chain NFT ($RAT)

**$RAT (Risk Assessment Token) token: is a Metachain non-fungible token (NFT) to store and verify assets, both digital and real-world assets.**

$RAT token is cross-chain NFT that is interoperable and can be traded publicly on multiple blockchains.

The Metachain NFT mint allows for NFT asset originators to follow a compliant process for NFT creation.

Metachain secures underlying data on the tokenization of assets and allows asset originators to connect to multiple cross chain marketplaces.

Metachain provides data integrity of the asset tokenized or created and allows asset originators to bridge cross chains for their NFT needs solving the problem of double minting.
