What is a Non-Fungible Token and How to Work?

“What does Non-Fungible token mean?” when it is said; is a digital asset that represents real-world objects in the digital world, such as art, music, in-game items, and videos. Non-Fungible essentially means irreplaceable. What is irreplaceable? Let’s explain this with a simple example. When your clothes or shoes are old, you can go and get a new one instead. However, you cannot replace the Mona Lisa painting with another Mona Lisa painting. Non Fungible tokens also have a digital signature that makes it impossible to copy in the same way. Non fungible tokens are unique.

Why Are NFTs Important?

Although non fungible token technology is being used in different areas day by day, it is mostly preferred for digital artworks today. Compared to traditional art collections, the reason behind the fact that NFTs are a multimillion-dollar market is that they have an un-duplicable digital signature.

What Are The Uses Of NFTs?

Especially for artists, non fungible tokens offer the possibility to sell their works of art digitally to a global audience of buyers without using galleries or any intermediaries. Thus, artists maximize their profits from their sales, as they sell their artworks directly from the first hand, without the need for any intermediaries. In addition, the artist continues to receive a certain percentage of profit from their sold work. Every time their work is sold in line with the royalty fee they had determined. It can be easy for artists to choose between an NFT market where they can continue to earn money as their artwork is sold, and a traditional market where they sell one-offs.
