What is NFT?

NFTs turn your digital assets into one of a kind by creating a unique digital signature that defines the ownership of your assets and that can be bought and sold for real money cryptocurrency or any other asset like a non-fungible token aka nft non-fungible tokens means that they are not interchangeable and each of them represents unique assets owned by a specific person.

On the other hand, fungible tokens are interchangeable and can be divided into smaller units to form the same value for example a one hundred dollar bill is fungible as you can exchange it with five twenty-dollar bills or two fifty dollar bills but the painting of the last supper is non-fungible as it cannot be generated in bulk even if it is copied it will not be authentic each nft contains distinguishable information like who owns the digital asset and who sold it making them distinct and easily verifiable as it is impossible to forge such a certificate it will secure painting's originality.

NFT basically creates a blockchain-based digital certificate for your digital collectibles including games music art and many more this certificate gives your artwork a unique identity the underlying technology and the programming language used by nfts are the same as other cryptocurrencies such as blockchain and the programming language eth or script nft majorly exists on ethereum blockchain a distributed public ledger that records all the transactions however nft is quite different from these cryptocurrencies bitcoin and ethereum are fungible tokens which means if you trade bitcoin or ethereum for one another you will have the same value or item in return basically money on the other hand nft is a unique token therefore if you try to trade it you may end up with something completely different in your hands.
