1. A method comprising:
receiving, by an access management system, a signed message that is associated with a non-fungible digital asset and that includes a non-fungible digital asset identifier and a nonce, the non-fungible digital asset configured to provide access to an access-restricted resource;
accessing, by the access management system and based on the non-fungible digital asset identifier included in the signed message, a distributed record that is configured to store ownership information associated with the non-fungible digital asset;
verifying, by the access management system and based on the signed message and the ownership information stored in the distributed record, that a user of the non-fungible digital asset is authorized to access the access-restricted resource;
granting, by the access management system and based on an input provided by the user, partial ownership of the non-fungible digital asset to a third party, the partial ownership recorded in the ownership information in the distributed record and granting the third party access to a virtual non-fungible digital asset art gallery using the non-fungible digital asset;
determining, by the access management system after the granting of the partial ownership to the third party, that a predefined condition is satisfied; and
granting, by the access management system and based on the determining that the predefined condition is satisfied, full ownership of the non-fungible digital asset back to the user.
