NFTs are different to blockchain, so you’re just muddying the waters for yourself with the Walmart thing
Each item is represented by an NFT on the Walmart blockchain. The innovation in the chain of custody is that everyone is verifiably using the same database. It’s a permissioned database, so it’s proof of authority.

Private keys sign hashes. Hashes cannot sign hashes because there is no associated private key.
However, NFTs that are accepted by both will have higher value.
We are starting seeing this on Roblox and Fortnite where skins can pass through to different games. .
That’s exactly what blockchain is fixing. E.g. Your valuable skins don’t disappear when the company running the game you play goes bankrupt.
That’s the theory. Games companies are at the private blockchain stage but there are some small web3 game developers.
