Smart Contracts, NFT Auditing and Blockchain Advisory

A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement being directly written into lines of code. The code and the agreements contained therein exist across a distributed, decentralized blockchain network. The code controls the execution, and transactions are trackable and irreversible. Smart contracts permit trusted transactions to be carried out among anonymous parties without the need for a central authority, legal system, or external enforcement mechanism.

Smart Contracts are at the intersection of Law and Technology. Stegmanns partner with some “Tech Geniuses” to offer our Clients Smart Contracts of superior quality.

Stegmanns Inc. has been appointed as a NFT Auditor. A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided, that is recorded in a blockchain, and that is used to certify authenticity and ownership. The ownership of an NFT is recorded in the blockchain and can be transferred by the owner, allowing NFTs to be sold and traded. Because NFTs are uniquely identifiable assets, they differ from cryptocurrencies, which are fungible. An NFT solely represents a proof of ownership of a blockchain record and does not necessarily imply that the owner possesses intellectual property rights to the digital asset the NFT purports to represent.
