Overview

An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a unique digital identifier recorded on a blockchain that certifies ownership and authenticity of digital assets, such as artworks, photos, videos, and audio, differing from cryptocurrencies in their uniqueness and inability to be copied, substituted, or subdivided. The NFT market is expected to continue to evolve, with new use cases and applications emerging. However, the environmental impact of NFTs is a concern due to the energy consumption of blockchain technology. NFTs can be used to represent ownership of any unique digital asset and have a wide range of use cases, from digital collectibles to virtual real estate.
