Which blockchain was used for the tokenization?

Initially, the hotel was tokenized on the Ethereum blockchain. In 2018, Aspen Coin (ASPD) tokens were issued as ERC-20 compliant security tokens on Ethereum. In February 2019, Elevated Returns announced plans to migrate its tokens to the Tezos blockchain to take advantage of its benefits, such as improved scalability and security. In May 2024, the RSRV platform, in collaboration with Elevated Returns, launched an initiative to tokenize the St. Regis Aspen Resort hotel, using the Tezos blockchain to manage the issuance and operations of digital securities.

In 2024, the RSRV platform planned to issue 16 million RSRVA tokens at a price of $1 per token, representing a 4.9% stake in RSRV Aspen, LLC, the owner of the hotel.

What were the tokens called?
