### Methods

#### issue

▸ **issue**(`args`, `opts?`): `Promise`<`TransactionQueue`<[`Asset`](/polymesh-sdk-api-reference/docs-alpha/classes/api_entities_asset.asset.md), [`Asset`](/polymesh-sdk-api-reference/docs-alpha/classes/api_entities_asset.asset.md), `unknown`\[]\[]>>

Issue a certain amount of Asset tokens to the caller's default portfolio

**`note`** this method is of type [ProcedureMethod](/polymesh-sdk-api-reference/docs-alpha/interfaces/types.proceduremethod.md), which means you can call [issue.checkAuthorization](/polymesh-sdk-api-reference/docs-alpha/interfaces/types.proceduremethod.md#checkauthorization) on it to see whether the signing Account and Identity have the required roles and permissions to run it

**Returns**

`Promise`<`TransactionQueue`<[`Asset`](/polymesh-sdk-api-reference/docs-alpha/classes/api_entities_asset.asset.md), [`Asset`](/polymesh-sdk-api-reference/docs-alpha/classes/api_entities_asset.asset.md), `unknown`\[]\[]>>
