Non-fungible token

An illustration of a non-fungible token (NFT) as a piece of code. This piece of code contains a list of parameters and all files linked to the NFT. These parameters contain important information that identify the NFT.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a way of proving that a digital item is the only one of its kind in existence. Therefore it cannot be copied or reproduced without the owner's knowledge and consent. They can be thought of as a digital certificate of authenticity. NFTs are bought and sold online. They claim to be digital proof of ownership of a given item. NFTs are securely recorded on a blockchain.
