### Ethereum NFTs?

*Inscriptions are always immutable.*

There is simply no way to for the creator of an inscription, or the owner of an
inscription, to modify it after it has been created.

Ethereum NFTs *can* be immutable, but many are not, and can be changed or
deleted by the NFT contract owner.

In order to make sure that a particular Ethereum NFT is immutable, the contract
code must be audited, which requires detailed knowledge of the EVM and Solidity
semantics.

It is very hard for a non-technical user to determine whether or not a given
Ethereum NFT is mutable or immutable, and Ethereum NFT platforms make no effort
to distinguish whether an NFT is mutable or immutable, and whether the contract
source code is available and has been audited.

*Inscription content is always on-chain.*

There is no way for an inscription to refer to off-chain content. This makes
inscriptions more durable, because content cannot be lost, and scarcer, because
