# Owners

**Protocol Level:**

**Definition**: The protocol owner is typically the entity or group that initially created and launched the real-world assets tokenization protocol. This could be a company, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), or a group of developers.

**Explanation**: The protocol owner is responsible for the overall vision, development, and strategic direction of the tokenization protocol. They oversee the governance framework, including the issuance of native tokens, management of the protocol’s treasury, and implementation of key features. The owner may retain significant control over the protocol's development and decision-making processes, particularly in the early stages.

**Liquidity Pool Level:**

**Definition**: The liquidity pool owner is the entity or individual who establishes and manages a specific liquidity pool within the protocol.

**Explanation**: The liquidity pool owner determines the parameters and structure of the pool, such as the types of tokenized assets included, the collateral requirements, and the reward mechanisms for liquidity providers. They are responsible for providing the initial capital to seed the pool and may also handle ongoing management tasks, such as adjusting pool parameters and ensuring compliance with the protocol’s rules and standards.
