# Collectibles on Doge

**So what are collectibles on Doge?** 

In short, they're the digital equivalent of physical artifacts kept and maintained on the Dogecoin blockchain. Doge Collectibles:

1. Have owners - Of which ownership can be conferred onto others.
2. Are complete - Simply containing a link to an off-chain hosting service is incomplete, and the digital item would thus not be fully self-contained.
3. Are permissionless - No royalties, no rules regarding transferability, and certainly no on-chain taxes. 
4. Are uncensorable - While it resides under your ownership, the properties of the object cannot be altered without your direct and explicit permission.
5. Are immutable - Art or data that are attached to upgrade keys are mutable and thus cannot be considered digital artifacts.

Collectibles on Doge - by definition - follow a set of rules intended to reflect what NFTs ***should*** be. Inscriptions always follow these mandates by their very nature.

These same rules are found across all versions of Ordinals theory - from Dogecoin to Bitcoin. They are the standards that constitute a form of digital ownership that adheres to the very ethos of the blockchain itself.
