Asset expiry

Question

Hi, I noticed while checking coinspark assets that can be issued on the BitCoin network that there is an option to set the expiry date of an asset, however it seems multichain network does not support that feature. Is there any way to set expiry date for multichain assets?

Answer 1

In CoinSpark the expiry date is not a protocol feature per se, but rather just a legal characteristic of the asset, which affects how it is displayed in the wallet.

So you can reproduce the same behavior in MultiChain by simply adding a custom field for the issuance of each asset that contains the expiry date, and then using that information to affect what you display in the user interface of the application you built on MultiChain.
