# What is the Reserve project?

The Reserve project is guided by the belief that **everyone should be able to own their share of the world’s wealth**. Its platform lets anyone hold and transfer an entire portfolio of tokenized assets as a single unit, so as more of the world’s wealth moves onchain, anyone can own their share of it.

This lays the groundwork for *asset-backed currency*: money backed by real assets rather than inflationary fiat that loses purchasing power over time. When people earn more than they spend while holding value this way, they steadily build ownership of a share of the world’s wealth.

Reserve is not just a platform. It’s a coordinated universe of protocols, products, and partners working to make this belief real in practice.

The sections that follow outline the project’s long-term goal, how it works, and how to participate.
