Object Ownership

Every object has an owner field that dictates how you can use it in transactions. Objects can have the following types of ownership:

Address-owned​

An address-owned object is owned by a specific 32-byte address that is either an account address (derived from a particular signature scheme) or an object ID. An address-owned object is accessible only to its owner and no others.

Go to Address-Owned Objects.

Dynamic fields​

Dynamic fields and dynamic object fields on Sui are added and removed dynamically, affect gas only when accessed, and store heterogeneous values.

Go to Dynamic (Object) Fields.

Immutable​

An immutable object is an object that can't be mutated, transferred, or deleted. Immutable objects have no owner, so anyone can use them.

Go to Immutable Objects.

Shared​

A shared object is an object that is shared using the 0x2::transfer::share_object function and is accessible to everyone. Unlike owned objects, anyone can access shared ones on the network.

Go to Shared Objects.

Wrapped​

In Move, you can organize data structures by putting a field of struct type in another.
