  • Publication number: 20250348934
    Abstract: A method to maintain localization of a non-fungible token (NFT) in a transaction includes receiving a request to transfer an NFT from a first NFT account to a second NFT account, and identifying a first localization property corresponding to the first NFT account. The first localization property restricts transfer of the NFT to a first locality associated with a first geographical area. The method further includes identifying a second localization property corresponding to the second NFT account. The second localization property restricts transfer of the NFT to a second locality associated with a second geographical area. The method further includes, in response to determining that the first localization property and the second localization property differ, transferring the NFT to a container, and linking a public and private key pair linked with the second NFT account with the container to transfer the NFT to the second NFT account.
