An association system for associating digital assets may include a processing device, a first computer-readable storage medium portion in communication with the processing device that includes an association database of statements regarding a set of digital assets and associations between the digital assets in the set, and a second computer-readable storage medium portion in communication with the electronic device. The second computer-readable storage medium portion may include one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to receive electronic data including a statement defining an association between a delegating digital asset and a receiving digital asset, verify whether the statement is reliable, and, in response to verifying that the statement is reliable, add an entry to the association database, and store in the entry an indication that the delegating digital asset grants the receiving digital asset the one or more characteristics.
