# Introduction

Bridge Protocol is a multi-chain, non-custodial framework to issue asset tokens and manage their compliance on public blockchains.

It is an advanced and comprehensive tool to create tokenized securities that must comply with off-chain regulation. Its scope covers the entire lifecycle management of a security, including issuance, distribution, transfer management and corporate actions.

The purpose of this documentation is to present the overall architecture of Bridge Protocol, as well as to provide some guidance on how to use it.
