The term 'Soulbound' is derived from World Of Warcraft, where an item once picked up, cannot be transferred or sold to another player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do SBTs Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Soulbound tokens were first proposed<\/a> by Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin in January of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SBTs are stored within a 'Soul Wallet' or just 'Soul'. SBTs would be issued by a company, school, or organization as proof of affiliation within a certain program, course, or event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These tokens are verifiable on a blockchain and cannot be sold for a higher price, making it impossible to fake their credentials. Although, SBTs can possibly be revoked by the issuer.((E.
