The importance of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)

The importance of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)

An NFT is a unique asset and can represent any digital asset on the Ethereum blockchain. This makes it scarce, provable, and valuable.

It can take the form of digital art, collectables, a creative extension of music, or a blend of all three.

Anyone can create an NFT. As long as individuals can prove they created or legally own the content, they can mint an NFT.
