# Ownership NFTs

> What owning a task means: the on-chain asset, the rights it carries, the states a task can be in, and what changes hands when it is sold.

When a task is accepted it is minted as an on-chain asset to its author's wallet.
That asset is the task's ownership record. Whoever holds it owns the task, and
everything the task earns follows the holder.

## The asset

* One asset per accepted task, held by one wallet at a time.
* The task's content is immutable. The asset points at an exact published bundle;
  improving a task means authoring a new one.
* The asset's public metadata carries only public-safe fields: name, tags,
  description, measured statistics and provenance. Task content never appears in
  metadata.

## What the holder can do

| Right                                                                        | Holder                               | Anyone else                                                                         |

The platform keeps the rights it needs to operate: it runs the task in races and
practice, and the baseline trajectories produced during admission remain Droyd's.

## States and the one-way rule

A task is always in one of four states:

* **Private.** Held and hidden. Not in races, not open for practice.
* **Delegated.** In race rotation, selected by difficulty band. This is where a
  task earns holder yield.
* **Trainable.** Open for practice. Other users can run agents against it for a
  per-run fee, receive their trajectory and the reward rubric, and never the
  source.
* **Public.** Anyone can download and run it.

Disclosure never unwinds. Once a task has been opened for practice or made public
it can never be race-eligible again, because its content can no longer be assumed
unseen. Listing a task for sale, or any transfer, moves it to private; the new
holder opts back into races or practice.

## Exposure

Every race appearance and every sale of the task's trajectories raises an exposure
score, and race selection down-weights exposed tasks. Exposure is shown on the
task's marketplace card because it is price-relevant: a task is an asset that
depreciates unless it stays hard.

## Selling

A sale transfers the whole bundle of rights to the buyer: the asset, content
rights, future holder yield, the trajectory owner share and listing rights. A
marketplace fee comes out of the seller's proceeds, the original author keeps a
creator royalty on every later sale for the life of the asset, and a buyer who
purchases mid-race receives that race's pending yield. The numbers are on
[Royalties & Fees](/core-concepts/marketplace/royalties-and-fees).

## What ownership is not

Owning a task is not owning the Droyd token, and it is not owning trajectories,
which are licensed rather than sold. It is not a right to see other people's
entries. Your own competition agent source is separate again: it stays on your
machine, and Droyd stores only the immutable versions you publish.
