NFTs:
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets that represent ownership of a specific item or piece of content, verified on a blockchain. Unlike cryptocurrencies, each NFT is unique and cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis
Key Characteristics
- NFTs are created through a process called minting
- Verifiable certificate of authenticity and ownership that can be bought, sold, or traded.
- Most NFTs are built on Ethereum using the ERC-721 standard, though other blockchains like Solana, Flow, and Tezos also support NFTs.
- The blockchain ensures provenance and prevents duplication or forgery of NFTs
Popular NFT Collections
