Soulbound Token (SBT)
Strict Definition
"A non-transferable NFT that represents a person's identity, credentials, or affiliations on the blockchain. Once received, it cannot be sold or moved."
Liability Check // Risk Analysis
The 'Social Privacy' risk. Unlike transferable NFTs, SBTs create a permanent, public record of your associations. If you receive an SBT from a controversial organization, it is 'stuck' to your identity forever.

Auditor NotesVS-AN-2026
"Use SBTs for employee certifications, attendance records (POAPs), and internal reputation systems where you want to prevent 'Buying Status'."
"Enable 'Revocation' mechanisms so the company can reclaim/delete an SBT if an employee leaves or a certification expires."
"Ensure SBT implementation complies with 'Right to be Forgotten' laws (GDPR), which may require burner-address mechanisms for deletion."
