NFT stands for non-fungible token.
NFTs are “one-of-a-kind” assets in the digital world that can be bought and sold like any other piece of property, but they have no tangible form of their own.
The digital tokens can be thought of as certificates of ownership for virtual or physical assets.
An NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world objects like art, music, in-game items and videos. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency, and they are encoded with the same underlying software as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Each NFT has a digital signature that makes it impossible to be exchanged for or equal to one another (hence, non-fungible).
