Aspire embeds data into regular gAsp blockchain transactions. To normal gAsp clients, these transactions look just like normal gAsp transactions, with one party sending a very small amount of gAsp to the other. The Aspire node runs the gAsp client together with the Aspire client, which will identify and interpret the data in these gAsp transactions according to specific rules, and the ledger of Aspire transactions seen on the gAsp network. ASP is the native asset (token) of Aspire, and creating new assets on Aspire requires some ASP tokens as technical fees. gAsp can only recognize gAsp transactions, while Aspire can recognize both gAsp and ASP itself, as well as all assets created on Aspire.
