NFT stands for “Non-Fungible Token”, a digitally produced token brought together with the use of blockchain technology.

This is typically associated with art, but it can be used for any type of unique material, including music, videos, images, websites, and even GIFs.

NFTs cannot be swapped, replaced, or even divided is a significant difference between cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

A cryptocurrency can be purchased as a share rather than a single unit, but NFTs can only be purchased as a single unit.

[{"selector":"#anim-af303ded-06a1-4982-8dbe-a89cdadc69d4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc3f54b2-a1e3-4070-86cf-d2454b1cc03b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -148.33617%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The creator of an NFT has the original ownership. The token functions to verify the work of art to which it is related.

[{"selector":"#anim-0e5074b7-876d-49f7-8dda-ce168df0342b","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.5)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.95)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Making an NFT is not tricky; anyone with little knowledge can do it; yet, creating an NFT does not guarantee significant returns in the NFT market.

[{"selector":"#anim-158fc1e1-5573-470b-bc67-4e7ed5fe0778","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-599f1bd9-0345-4d71-b82f-6abe285e0184","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.45637%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

For people to bid on the art, it must be original and attractive to the masses on the internet.

[{"selector":"#anim-4ba94447-1cb5-4967-b5fd-b91492367bbf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.37762%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-483105ba-ad5c-4525-8bce-e7f36f4dc2a8","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

As a result, each NFT is a one-of-a-kind asset that cannot be reproduced and is supported by blockchain technology.
