# Why own contract so important

At the time (2022 March), there were lots of ways to upload your art and turn it into NFTs. However, have you ever checked whether the smart contract implemented belonged to you or not? If you haven't, how do you prove the NFT was launched from you?

Actually, NFT can't prove the art or the file was truly created from the address who implemented the NFT smart contract. On the right hand, blockchain technology completely stops people forging your contract and NFT token. That is the most important reason NFT technology is able to make digital creation valuable.

So to own the smart contract on block-chain must be the TOP 1 important thing for a creator or people who is going to use and sell their NFT.

> Ownership is the legal right to use, possess, and give away a thing. Ownership can be tangible such as personal property and land, or it can be of intangible things such as intellectual property rights.

Own your NFT smart contract you are able to use it by following web3 protocol. Also, there is the owner's address showing on the block-chain. It proves you are the true owner on block-chain. Of course, you can transfer your NFT smart contract to other people.
