Spoiler Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame: tap to reveal
The Soul Stone demands a soul for a soul. Red Skull guards it on Vormir, and Thanos gets it in Infinity War by sacrificing Gamora. In Endgame, Clint and Natasha go to Vormir together, and Natasha gives her life so Clint can take it.
After the Snap, Thanos destroys the original stones. The Avengers use the Quantum Realm to borrow past versions of them, and Captain America returns those to their own times at the end of Endgame. In the Multiverse Saga the stones are out of play.
