What is Non-Fungible Token (NFT)?
According to a BBC report, in economics, fusible assets are units that can be easily converted – such as money. With paisa, you can replace Rs 5 note with Rs 10 note and it will have the same value.
However, if something is non-fungible, it will be impossible to do so. This means that this non-fungible asset has a unique quality, so it cannot be interchanged with anything else. This item can range from a house to a painting of Monalisa.
Most NFTs are part of the Etherian blockchain. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Dogecoin, but its blockchain also supports these NFTs.
