Discrete Assets

Discrete assets are assets which may be spent in whole or in part but can only be sent in whole. Discrete assets may be issued by Centrapay or by a supported third-party/external issuer. Discrete assets can be spent by the owner to satisfy payment requests which support the asset type.
