Definition and scope
How NFTs Work Natively on the XRP Ledger addresses a distinct part of non-fungible tokens. Introduce NFToken ledger objects and the protocol operations that manage them.
XRPL NFTs are protocol-native ledger objects rather than smart-contract records. This collection follows an NFToken from its identifier and mint settings through custody, offers, transfers, brokered sales, royalties, storage pages, and destruction. An on-ledger token records protocol ownership and identifiers; off-ledger media, licensing, authenticity, and marketplace claims require separate evidence.
How it works
XRPL NFTs are NFToken entries managed by native transaction types rather than per-token smart contracts. Tokens are grouped in NFTokenPage objects, identified by NFTokenID, and transferred through protocol offer objects.
- NFToken: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- NFTokenPage: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- NFTokenID: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
- NFTokenMint: verify this field, object, or component against the cited protocol documentation.
Practical example and checks
A creator chooses flags, transfer fee, taxon, and URI, submits NFTokenMint, extracts the minted ID from metadata, and verifies ownership before creating a sale offer.
For production use, preserve the exact signed or queried data, record the network and validated ledger reference, and compare the result with the current primary documentation before changing off-ledger state.

The ledger stores identifiers and optional URI bytes, not a guarantee that referenced media remains available or lawful. Ownership of an NFToken does not automatically transfer copyright or off-ledger rights.
An on-ledger token records protocol ownership and identifiers; off-ledger media, licensing, authenticity, and marketplace claims require separate evidence.
Current network status
Enabled on XRPL Mainnet. NonFungibleTokensV1_1 was enabled on XRPL Mainnet in feature responses from both official public servers at review time. Client and service support can still vary.
Status reviewed 2026-08-23. Amendment-dependent behavior must be rechecked against the network's live feature state before operational use.
