Ever heard of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and the thousands of altcoins that make up the cryptocurrency world? Well, there’s a new kid on the block and it’s called NFT or short for Non-Fungible Tokens. If you’ve been following the cryptocurrency space in the last few months you know what I’m talking about. For the uninitiated, get ready to be rocked.
What Is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)?
Non-fungible tokens or NFTs are cryptographic assets on blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Unlike cryptocurrencies, they cannot be traded or exchanged at equivalency. This differs from fungible tokens like cryptocurrencies, which are identical to each other and, therefore, can be used as a medium for commercial transactions.
The distinct construction of each NFT has the potential for several use cases. For example, they are an ideal vehicle to digitally represent physical assets like real estate and artwork. Because they are based on blockchains, NFTs can also be used to remove intermediaries and connect artists with audiences or for identity management. NFTs can remove intermediaries, simplify transactions, and create new markets.
