On-Chain Resources

Definition

On-chain resources refer to any data, assets, or computational capabilities that reside and are directly managed on a blockchain’s distributed ledger. This includes native tokens, smart contract code, transaction histories, and protocol-specific data structures. These resources are transparent, immutable, and secured by the blockchain’s consensus mechanism. Accessing or modifying them requires network participation and adherence to the protocol’s rules. They form the fundamental components of any decentralized application.
