Ownership limits refer to predetermined restrictions on the maximum amount of a particular digital asset or token that a single entity, address, or individual is permitted to hold. These limits are often implemented within decentralized autonomous organizations, token distributions, or regulated digital securities to prevent excessive concentration of power or influence. The objective is to promote decentralization, reduce market manipulation risks, and ensure a broader distribution of governance rights. Such controls aim to maintain network integrity and fairness.
