### Creating the transaction

The example below creates the QAIR coin at 5 precision, with a 0.1% (100 precision) market fee collected per trade.

```
create_asset alpha "QAIR" 5 { "max_supply" : 100000000000, "market_fee_percent" : 10, "max_market_fee" : 1000000000, "issuer_permissions" : 79, "flags" : 1, "core_exchange_rate" : { "base": { "amount": 1, "asset_id": "1.3.0" }, "quote": { "amount": 1, "asset_id": "1.3.1" } }, "whitelist_authorities" : [], "blacklist_authorities" : [], "whitelist_markets" : [], "blacklist_markets" : [], "description" : "My fancy description" } null true
```

Once the asset is created, you can issue yourself or any other account up to the max\_supply.

```
issue_asset quanta_foundation 10000000000 QAIR "comment" true
```
