NFTs are digital tokens that represent something unique and non-fungible.
NFTs are unique identifiers of an asset, written on the blockchain, which allows a tracking of ownership of parts or all of the asset.
Blockchain is a decentralized ledger, that records transactions and assets in multiple locations.
Blockchain is a decentralized ledger, that records transactions and assets in multiple locations. It’s important to understand that blockchain is not a database; it's an immutable record of events (or transactions) on the network. In order for any information on the blockchain to be changed, you'd need over 50% of nodes (computers) to agree on the change. This means it's virtually impossible for your identity or property rights to be stolen because what happens on the blockchain cannot be changed without your consent or signature.
Ethereum is an open source, blockchain based computing platform, that can execute smart contracts.
Ethereum is an open source, blockchain based computing platform, that can execute smart contracts. Ethereum and its underlying technology Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allow developers to create decentralized applications (dApps).
There are two types of dApps:
- Decentralized Applications – Decentralized applications run on a peer-to-peer network. The developers do not have direct access to the data because all information is stored in the blockchain and verified by nodes on the network. This means they will not be able to censor content or shut down your account without your consent or knowledge!
- Distributed Applications– A distributed application allows users with access permissions to use it through their browser or mobile phone interface regardless of where they are located around the world."

NFTs are unique identifiers of an asset, written on the blockchain—the digital ledger technology used to record transactions. That means you can track ownership of parts or all of an asset through NFTs.
NFTs are a digital token, meaning they can be traded on the blockchain.
Since NFTs are attached to a real world item, it makes trading and transfer of ownership easy, trackable and secure.

- NFTs can be easily transferred to another party without the need for third party intermediaries: With NFTs there is no need for lawyers or brokers who would charge huge sums of money to facilitate the process. The transfer is done directly between the two parties on the blockchain using smart contracts that have been coded in such a way as to allow them only when specific conditions are met (for example, if you pay me $50 then I will give you this artwork).
- They help prove ownership over certain items: Proof of ownership is very important in today’s world where we need proof about our identity or property rights before making major financial transactions like buying a house or taking out loans from banks. This is particularly true when these things involve digital assets like music files where people often share them illegally through peer-to-peer file sharing networks.
The data stored on the NFT is immutable and cannot be changed by anyone once it has been recorded on the blockchain.
The data stored on the NFT is immutable and cannot be changed by anyone once it has been recorded on the blockchain. This is because of how the data is stored:
- Data is stored on a decentralized network.
- Data is shared across multiple computers in the network.
- Data is stored in blocks, which are linked together to form a chain of information that all computers have access to. These blocks are then added onto this chain as new transactions occur through timestamped “blocks” (or batches) that contain all of these transactions within them, allowing everyone with access to this blockchain network (e.g., Ethereum) see what has happened over time or at any given point in time if they want more detail than just seeing who owns what token now or where tokens were sent from / went to last month/year etcetera).
- The blockchains themselves operate using public ledgers which allow anyone who wants access view all activity going on within them without needing permission first; however, since no one really needs such detailed records except perhaps government agencies investigating criminal activity such as drug trafficking etcetera); instead most people just want general knowledge about how much money was made etcetera without having details like how many Bitcoins someone owns at any given moment available for everyone else too see - especially since those sort of details might give away personal information about users' financial situation too easily if released publicly
Since each NFT is attached to a real world item (and its provenance can be tracked), it can be used as proof of ownership for things like art or collectibles.
Since each NFT is attached to a real world item (and its provenance can be tracked), it can be used as proof of ownership for things like art or collectibles. A company called Verisart, for example, allows you to upload your artwork onto their platform and then sell it on the blockchain. If someone buys your painting and wants to resell it, they can load up their new version of that painting back onto the blockchain using its "certificate" as proof of ownership.
NFTs have the potential to revolutionize ownership in the digital age
NFTs have the potential to revolutionize ownership in the digital age. Traditionally, people have only been able to own physical assets (such as a car) or intangible assets (like stock). NFTs are expanding this concept of ownership to include digital items.
People can now own virtual art pieces for example, using these ERC-721 tokens and storing them on their Ethereum wallet. The same goes for any other kind of digital asset that may be found online - from software licenses to domain names and more.
