NFTs

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets stored on a blockchain that represent ownership of items such as art, collectibles, or virtual goods. They use cryptographic tokens to certify authenticity and scarcity, enabling verifiable digital ownership and transfer. This technology has gained prominence in digital art, gaming, and collectibles markets.

Also known as: Non-Fungible Tokens, NFT, Digital Collectibles, Crypto Art Tokens, Unique Tokens

Why learn NFTs?

Developers should learn about NFTs when building applications in digital art platforms, gaming ecosystems, or decentralized finance (DeFi) projects that require unique asset representation. It's essential for creating marketplaces, minting tools, or integrating blockchain-based ownership into apps, as NFTs provide a standardized way to manage digital scarcity and provenance.
