Class 101: What’s an NFT

The essence of NFT is digital arts. Different from ordinary digital arts which can be shared across all platforms, NFT is a unique digital asset stored on the blockchain and can be bought, sold, or traded with cryptocurrency.

Following is a still NFT from Opensea.io. However, some NFTs might contain more complex scenes, accompanied by music, visual effects, or interactive elements.

NFT Examples

What is the biggest advantage of NFT over a piece of painting or a video lies in copyright protection. By tokenizing a piece of art or animation, its ownership is clearly defined. Buyers get verifiable proof of ownership and origin, which protects against counterfeits. Additionally, NFT allows artists to receive royalties on future sales of their works, meaning they can benefit from the resale value if their artwork appreciates over time.
