<figure><img src="/files/UKg9jsKPxkzaT2JhIOJ1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Ownables are CosmWasm smart contracts that define ownership. Instead of running on a blockchain node, Ownables run directly in a wallet using the LTO Network [private layer](/protocol/private.md).

Looking into [CosmWasm](https://cosmwasm.com/) smart contracts and [WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org/) is a great idea to grasp the fundamentals upon which Ownables are designed.
