WHAT THE NFT??

NFT (NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN)

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can be used to represent all types of digital files such as photos, videos, audio, and other . Access to any copy of the original file, however, is not restricted to the buyer of the NFT. While copies of these digital items are available for anyone to obtain, NFTs are tracked on blockchains to provide the owner with a proof of ownership that is separate from copyright.

In 2021, there has been increased interest in using NFTs. Blockchains like Ethereum. Flow, and Tezos have their own standards when it comes to supporting NFTs, but each works to ensure that the digital item represented is authentically one-of-a-kind. NFTs are now being used to commodify digital assets in art, music, sports, and other popular entertainment. Most NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain; however, other blockchains can implement their own versions of NFTs.

Unlike crypto coins, which are identical and worth the same, NFTs are unique.

An NFT is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Meaning the creator of the NFT sets the price.
