Abstract
A method for operating a motor vehicle includes minting a non-fungible token (NFT), which links an identifier for a first, in particular prominent, user with an identifier for the motor vehicle, and with data for describing a setting made by or for the first user, as well as the later reading of the data describing the settings made from the NFT based on the identifier for the motor vehicle, and the setting is restored for use by a second user on the same motor vehicle.
