What Are NFTs?
NFTs or Non-Fungible tokens are tokens that are unique and cannot be replaced or exchanged by another token or asset. non-fungible tokens differ from fungible assets such as bitcoin because you can trade one bitcoin for another. AN example of an NFT would be concert tickets, a rare trading card, or a unique digital art collection.
