Abstract
A digital lock and key system using non-fungible digital tokens is disclosed. The digital lock and key system includes a non-fungible digital token having a blockchain address; and a piece of property having a lock; wherein the lock verifies whether the user possesses a non-fungible digital token with a recognized blockchain address; wherein the lock grants access to the piece of property when the lock verifies the user's non-fungible digital token; wherein the lock denies access to the piece of property when the lock cannot verify the user's non-fungible digital token; wherein the piece of property is physical, non-physical, or both.
