Nfts (non fungible tokens) -
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are tokens on a blockchain that are linked to some sort of data
or asset. This ‘data’ or ‘asset’ can literally be anything, ranging from a picture to the papers
or ownership of a property. Similarly to other cryptocurrencies, the supply of NFTs can be
limited and is set by their creator. The NFT industry is still in its infancy and rapidly
innovating.
Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else.
For example, a bitcoin is fungible — trade one for another bitcoin, and you’ll have exactly the
same thing. A one-of-a-kind trading card, however, is non-fungible. If you traded it for a
different card, you’d have something completely different.
At a very high level, most NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain but its blockchain also
supports these NFTs, which store extra information that makes them work differently from,
say, an ETH coin. It is worth noting that other blockchains can implement their own versions
of NFTs, for example solana, this is another cryptocurrency that has created a blockchain
system.
There are multiple different platforms you can purhcase nfts on such as;
Open sea, veve, ethernity chain etc.
An NFT is a digital asset that represents a real-world object like, for example, the Charlie Bit
My Finger video. NFTs are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency, and are
generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptocurrencies. Although
they’ve been around since 2014, NFTs are gaining notoriety now because they are
becoming an increasingly popular way to buy and sell digital artwork. NFTs are also
generally one of a kind, or at least one of a very limited run, and have unique identifying
codes.
Here are a few images of some nfts that are purchased and sold online;
