# Asset Meta Data

### AssetMetadata Documentation

The AssetMetadata class is used by assets to store information about themselves such as name, description, and blockchain references, etc.

#### Namespace

MetaverseCloudEngine.Unity.Assets

#### Public Properties

* **string Name:** The name of the asset.
* **string Description:** A description of the asset.
* **AssetListings Listings:** The listings that the asset is available on.
* **bool Private:** Whether the asset is private or not. Private assets are only visible to contributors.
* **BlockchainReferences BlockchainReferences:** The blockchain references for the asset. This allows you to let users have access to the content of the asset if they own a referenced token on the blockchain.

#### Usage

The AssetMetadata class is a base class and is not meant to be used directly. Instead, you should use one of its derived classes, such as MetaPrefabMetadata or MetaSpaceMetadata.

#### Additional Notes

* Asset metadata is stored in the cloud, not on the blockchain.
* Asset metadata can be used to control the behavior of the asset, such as its visibility and its availability in the land plot builder.
