The world is moving at a rapid pace and it can become challenging to keep up with it, especially when it comes to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. A cryptocurrency ecosystem is a happening place with new projects and use cases evolving every day. 

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest sold $605 million worth of Tesla Shares last month to double down on crypto markets, which speaks for the popularity and trust in the crypto industry for itself. However, the true winner in the race of adoption and evolution are NFTs. 

Anyone remotely connected to the conjoining world of art and cryptocurrency must have heard about NFTs by now. However, not everyone understands the NFT art meaning as while being fun they are a little technical. Today, we will be discussing everything there is to know about NFTs. 

What are NFTs?

NFTs are digital assets recorded on the blockchain, a digital ledger, and assigned to real-world assets. NFTs can be understood by imagining a digital token, that is, assigned to a real-world asset and has immutable information such as the creator or owner of the asset, the date of creation, and the entire transaction history.

NFTs are non-fungible assets which indicates that NFTs cannot be interchanged with anything else as they do not have a finite value and are unique in nature. The uniqueness of an NFT, when combined with the uniqueness of an art piece, a music composition, a photograph, etc., becomes even rarer. 

How do NFTs work?

Physical arts such as painting and analog photography are unique in the sense as they cannot be duplicated as digital art. However, as the world evolved digital art has become more accessible and prominent. A digital workpiece can be protected by tokenizing them as an NFT digital art which not only increases its value and makes it easier to sell and purchase but also secures them by recording the ownership on the NFT itself.
