Solana NFT Marketplace Landscape
In today’s post we’re going to take a look at a list of Solana’s NFT marketplaces.
In order to understand what a non-fungible token is, you must first understand what the term “non-fungible” means. Since fungible refers to something that can be evenly exchanged for something similar, non-fungible refers to something unique that cannot be swapped out one-for-one. Because dollar bills are fungible, you can pay for a cup of coffee with any of the dollar bills in your pocket. However, if you own an original painting, it is one of a kind, or non-fungible.
In fact, digital art is the focus of much current NFT trading, though NFTs can be made for anything digital, such as a gif, jpeg, tweet, or YouTube video. The NFT is a unit of data that serves as proof of ownership. Consider it a certificate of authenticity that confirms a specific person owns certain rights to that one-of-a-kind digital asset. This certificate is stored on a blockchain, a publicly accessible digital ledger of transactions that allows anyone to see who owns a specific NFT.
NFTs are bought and sold on a number of online exchanges, where people can place bids or sometimes purchase NFTs outright.
