An Overview Of What Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT's) Are

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a type of digital asset that represent ownership of a unique item or piece of content, such as a digital artwork or collectible.

NFTs are created using blockchain technology, which allows for the creation of unique digital assets that cannot be replicated or exchanged for something of equal value.

Unlike fungible tokens, such as cryptocurrencies, which can be replaced or exchanged for one another, NFTs are unique and one-of-a-kind.

[{"selector":"#anim-a3347c9c-0c80-417f-9ce7-4fb17914263d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc613781-4331-48f0-8d87-f73692c95861","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8f46436c-cf1e-44a3-ac47-906bec575add","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8e714a62-49e9-47f9-a3dd-14dd35c62475","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The ownership of an NFT is recorded on a blockchain, making it tamper-proof and allowing for easy verification of authenticity.

[{"selector":"#anim-256b773b-7b96-4cec-9a31-b3f61b8a5af6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.50485%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-501827ab-969d-43d5-8555-86d6ec02e6fa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f47a3e73-3102-4231-a19b-5e764012144c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8aa5cbd1-33be-402a-8a48-4393a99c2be1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(83.66013%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-522870d4-1dc5-4d79-bd1f-93e855116e98","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ebec58a7-b5a8-4377-af10-c52afe5e7df7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

NFTs can be bought and sold on various marketplaces, and the value of an NFT can vary depending on its uniqueness and popularity.

[{"selector":"#anim-1d2e6ef1-b30b-4ed9-a4ba-bb79c2732902","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.64956%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c52197dd-c7db-450d-837e-ba8e871fae65","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0fa991ab-570a-4968-8f30-1444305464a2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5df0edea-9a0c-4abe-827b-8643ca7d1227","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c59f3d23-962f-4a5c-86cd-c07861e9b3c9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.66667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc78aa90-d246-4dea-b38b-a15aff530e15","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89ef5013-595f-401a-9b4d-71fac9c1f28e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-63dc85b6-d032-4714-9b8b-19873ccbdf8c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1985ffd6-4e01-4416-ab36-d5110a5c6244","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-96.53631%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

NFTs can also be used to create digital collectibles and virtual worlds, such as in video games or virtual reality experiences.

NFTs have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about digital ownership and could change the way we value and trade digital assets.

NFTs have also been used to create digital real estate and virtual land, which can be bought, sold, and developed like physical property.
