NFT (Non-Fungible Token): A unique digital asset that represents ownership or proof of authenticity of a specific item or piece of content using blockchain technology. Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are fungible, meaning each unit is the same as every other unit, NFTs are one-of-a-kind. They can represent digital art, collectibles, virtual real estate, in-game items, and more, providing a certificate of ownership that can be bought, sold, and traded.
NFTs have gained significant attention for their role in monetizing digital content, allowing creators to sell their work directly to consumers without intermediaries. However, the NFT market is also subject to volatility and speculation.
