# Core Concepts

- [Onchain Lab](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/onchain-lab.md): The programmable onchain identity that owns, controls, and extends everything in a research project
- [Roles & Permissions](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/roles-and-permissions.md): How delegated access to an Onchain Lab works — role hierarchy, capability matrix, expiry, agent flag, and the on-chain resolver.
- [Module Registry](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/module-registry.md): How Onchain Labs discover, install, and secure modular extensions through the ERC-7484 attestation registry
- [Validator Module](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/module-registry/validator-module.md): How Onchain Labs authenticate and authorise operations through modular, NFT-ownership-derived signature verification
- [Data Module](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/module-registry/data-module.md): The Data Module adds data-referencing capabilities to an OnChain Lab's smart account, enabling the TBA to record, query, and verify references to off-chain research
- [Fallback Modules](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/module-registry/fallback-modules.md): Fallback modules extend OnChain Lab functionality by handling function calls that are not natively defined on the account contract, dispatched through the Solidity fallback function via selector-based
- [Executor Modules](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/module-registry/executor-modules.md): Executor modules are external smart contracts that can trigger transactions from an OnChain Lab's account, enabling automation, cross-protocol integrations, and programmable actions without requiring
- [RWA Equity](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/module-registry/rwa-equity.md): The RWA Equity module bridges onchain IP Token ownership with off-chain shareholder rights, enabling a compliant pathway from token holder to real-world equity participant
- [Fundraising (coming soon)](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/module-registry/fundraising-coming-soon.md)
- [Tokenized IPs](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/tokenized-ips.md): How intellectual property is represented, fractionalized, and traded as onchain assets within Onchain Labs
- [IP-NFTs](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/tokenized-ips/ip-nfts.md): How legal IP rights are registered, minted, and transferred as non-fungible tokens onchain
- [IPTs](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/tokenized-ips/ipts.md): How IP-NFTs are fractionalized into tradable governance tokens that represent shared ownership of intellectual property
- [Data](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/data.md): How Onchain Labs store, protect, and control access to scientific research data
- [Data Storage](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/data/data-storage.md): How research files are stored, content-addressed, versioned, and permanently persisted across the decentralised storage stack
- [Data Privacy & Access](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/data/data-privacy-and-access.md): How Onchain Labs protect confidential research data through client-side encryption, on-chain access verification, and a condition-gated key-release flow.
- [Data API & Integration](https://docs.molecule.xyz/core-concepts/data/data-api-and-integration.md): How Lab data is indexed, aggregated, served, and consumed by the platform, AI tools, and external integrations
