# Definition and importance of inscriptions
ESCC chose to become an Inscription Native Chain because of the potential of inscription technology and the multiple innovative advantages it offers:
**Innovation and control:** Inscription technology enables developers to create entirely new types of tokens, providing the ability to have more control over their supply, functionality and distribution. This approach offers a wider range of creative space and personalization options than traditional token protocols.
**Democratizing access and participation:** Inscription technology lowers the barrier to entry, making it easy for anyone to create and own assets on the blockchain. This democratization not only expands the acceptability of blockchain technology, but also encourages broader user participation and innovation.
**Diverse application scenarios:** From DeFi to gaming and digital collectibles, Inscription technology supports a variety of application scenarios. Its flexibility and compatibility enable developers to explore unprecedented paths of innovation, driving a new wave of decentralized applications (DApps) and digital assets.
As such, ESCC, the Inscription Native Chain, aims to capitalize on these strengths to provide a more robust, flexible and innovative platform to meet the demands of future crypto asset development.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.escc.io/core-features-and-technical-aspects-of-escc/inscription-protocols-and-their-application-in-escc/definition-and-importance-of-inscriptions.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
