The particle 的 (de) is most often a [structural
particle](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Structural_particle),
but it can also be a sentence-final particle which indicates that the
speaker is certain about what he is saying. When it serves this purpose,
it's expressing a type of "mood" and thus is called a "modal particle."
