NFT Meaning

Non-Fungible Token. An NFT is a cryptographic asset on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish it from other tokens. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or fiat money, which are "Fungible" (meaning one Bitcoin is exactly the same as another and they can be exchanged 1:1), NFTs are unique.

No two NFTs are interchangeable in the same way. The value of an NFT is derived from its provenance and digital scarcity.

It acts as a digital certificate of ownership. While anyone can "Right-click and Save" the image associated with an NFT, only the wallet holding the token can prove they are the "Owner" recorded on the public ledger.

This is analogous to the difference between owning a signed original print of a painting versus owning a poster of it bought at a gift shop. While NFTs gained fame through digital art and profile pictures (PFPs), the technology has far broader applications.

They are used for digital identity, event ticketing (preventing scalping), supply chain tracking, and even representing real-world assets like real estate deeds or car titles on the blockchain. They essentially introduce the concept of "Property Rights" to the internet.
