WHAT IS AN NFT?

THE DEFINITION OF AN NFT

An NFT, which stands for non-fungible token, is a unique unit of data employing technology that allows digital content—from videos to songs to images—to become logged and authenticated on cryptocurrency blockchains, primarily Ethereum.


‘NFT’ on Wikipedia

THE EASY EXPLANATION

NFTs are simply pieces of digital art (Images, Videos, Songs, etc.) that can bought, sold, and traded as collectibles. These items can gain or lose value (just like physical collectibles) based on many different factors.

Each NFT is unique as it holds Meta Data (digital information like: Mint #, Rarity, Etc.) that keeps every single NFT different and in itself could help determine it’s value.

They are fun to collect and can even gain value without needing the space you would need for a physical collectible.
