# NFTs have a major boundary problem Once an [[Non Fungible Token (NFT)]] is minted, the network contains a perfect record of who owns it and all the times it has changed hands. But an NFT does not and cannot prove that the person who minted the NFT owned it in the first place. So there's a problem for the utility of NFTs since it requires you to either trust or verify that the original minter of the NFT owned the asset. And if you have to do that work anyway, or blindly trust, what is the utility of the NFT?
