Definition ∞ Digital documents are records or information stored and processed in electronic format. These files exist as data rather than physical paper, encompassing a wide array of formats such as text, images, audio, and video. Within the digital asset space, they often relate to legal agreements, ownership proofs, or verifiable credentials stored on or referenced by blockchain systems. Their authenticity and integrity can be secured through cryptographic methods, offering transparency and immutability.
Context ∞ The integration of digital documents with blockchain technology is a significant area of development, aiming to enhance verification and reduce fraud. News frequently reports on initiatives applying distributed ledger technology to create tamper-proof records for supply chains, land registries, or academic certifications. Challenges persist in legal recognition and interoperability across different digital platforms, shaping ongoing regulatory and technological discussions.
