Abstract
A physical storage vault for physical items of digital twin NFTs is described. A combined listing for a physical item and an NET of the physical item is generated, and the combined listing is output in a user interface at a client device. The user interface includes an option to store the physical item in a physical storage vault. A request is received from the client device to transfer ownership of the physical item and the NFT of the combined listing to a user account. The request indicates that the option to store the physical item in the physical storage vault is accepted. Responsive to the request, transfer of ownership of the NET to the user account is initiated by encoding metadata of the NFT on a blockchain with an identifier associated with the user account and by storing the physical item in the physical storage vault.
