What Are NFTs?

An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a unique token on a blockchain used to represent ownership of a specific item — art, collectibles, in-game assets, or access rights. “Non-fungible” simply means each one is distinct, unlike a currency where every unit is interchangeable.

What owning an NFT means

An NFT records that a particular wallet holds a particular token. What that entitles you to — copyright, a digital file, membership — depends entirely on the project, and is often narrower than buyers assume.

A cautious view

NFTs saw enormous speculation and just as enormous losses. Some use cases (ticketing, identity, in-game items) are genuinely interesting; much of the market was hype. We cover both sides plainly.
