According to Cointelegraph, the Singapore High Court has allowed financial investigation firm Intelligent Sanctuary to attach nonfungible tokens (NFTs) containing a legal document to cold wallets associated with a hack. The court-issued worldwide freeze order was tokenized as soulbound NFTs and attached to the wallets in question. The NFTs will not prevent transactions with the wallets but will serve as a warning to counterparties and exchanges that the wallets were involved in a hack. Additionally, iSanctuary claimed it had devised a means of tracking funds leaving the wallets, thanks to the NFTs. The NFTs will be permanently attached to the wallets.
