# Overview

Universal Tokens are cross-chain native tokens secured by UIP. The Universal Token Standard (UTS) enables token developers to launch new or expand existing tokens across all major blockchains through a [self service portal](https://uts.entangle.fi/) within a few clicks. 

UTS revolutionizes cross-chain management, giving developers the power to effortlessly expand their assets across popular chains while keeping full control of their smart contracts — UTS requires no special permissions or rights. Take your token to the next level with UTS, the ultimate tool to seamlessly scale and control, and unlock the infinite possibilities of the interconnected web.
