Immutability is the property that once the data is stored in BigchainDB, it can’t be modified or erased. Decentralization means the control and storage of the data is not centralized, i.e. there is no single point of failure. Asset ownership is the property that only the owner of the asset can transfer the asset. The database provides the user with Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) with no more than one-third arbitrary node failures.
