Digital ownership

On-chain contract rules identify which address holds a token and which actions are authorized. This assignment supports querying and transferring units under the protocol.

Key control does not necessarily establish lawful ownership: a stolen key also produces signatures. NFT-associated content may be licensed and copyable even though the token has a distinct identity.

Rights in physical assets, creative works or financial instruments require a defined legal connection. A technical record can provide evidence without automatically replacing required documentation or registers.
