# Remove asset controller

An asset, often referred to as a **token,** represents a digital artifact on the TEOS platform that can be stored, managed, and verified on blockchain.

Controller is an entity that manages access rights to assets, allowing you to restrict who can buy, sell, or trade them. Controllers can only be created by the asset issuer.

This endpoint initiates a transaction to remove the controller of a specified asset. The source asset must exist in the system.
