NFT popularity
“NFT stands for ‘non-fungible token’. A ‘token’ in this context is an asset that exists on the blockchain, and most NFTs are a part of the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency just like bitcoin and dogecoin that also supports these NFTs storing extra information on a digital ledger. In layman’s terms, NFTs are the certificates to say that you own something digitally. It can be videos, photos, audio and other unique items,” Sharma said.
Recently, NFTs have gained enormous popularity, and new NFT projects are popping up all over the crypto world. However, the NFTs will likely become more common soon, allowing for decentralized trading only limited by the creators’ imagination.
There are various forms of NFTs, including collectible objects, art, music, gaming, event tickets, trading cards, virtual fashion, real-world assets, domain names, memes, and major sporting events.
Artwork is by far the most common type of NFT. Most of these works are maintained in a digital ledger, which provides a public certificate of authenticity and ownership. Digital artwork by Beeple called ‘The First 5000 Days’ sold at Christie’s auction in March 2021 for a whopping $69.3 million.
