A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) describes a unit of data stored in a digital ledger, often termed Blockchain. This data unit certifies an analogue or digital asset as unique and non-exchangeable.
Non-Fungible Tokens can be used to represent different digital elements. Some examples are photos, videos, audio files, and other types of digital media. Access to the original file is restricted to the purchaser of the NFT. Access to a copy of the original file, on the other hand, is not. These copies of the digital media are available to virtually anyone. NFT of the original files are tracked on a Blockchain to provide Proof-of-Ownership to the owner. However, this proof must be clearly distinguished from the copyright of the digital work.
In 2021, the interest in the use and proliferation of non-fungible tokens has increased immensely. Ethereum, Flow, and Tezos are some examples of Blockchains that have their own standards when it comes to supporting NFT. What they all have in common is that the represented digital medium is authentic and unique. The unique identity and ownership of an NFT can be verified via the Blockchain's ledger. The tokens contain metadata that is processed via a cryptographic hash function on the ledger.
Non-Fungible Tokens allow their creators to convert virtual goods into unique and conterfeit-secure collectibles. This was previously impossible in the digital realm. NFT make us rethink and revolutionize the concepts of licensing and property.
