Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique blockchain-based digital assets that have gathered a lot of attention recently.
NFTs can take many shapes: collectible cards, pieces of virtual land in a virtual world, playable gaming characters…
1/ But WTF is an NFT?
An NFT has mainly 3 powers:
- Creating unique online objects that virtually cannot be altered or removed
- Creating a virtually unbreakable bond between that object and its owner
- That bond can be transferred to someone else easily
+ It can be programmed to do many things, for example, to pay a royalty to the original creator when sold, etc…
2/ So what?
Everything can become an NFT.
Your apartment can one day be represented by an NFT and traded as such.
NFTs create the possibility for safe ownership & trade without needing a centralizing intermediary.
It’s the future of the internet and marketers should pay attention.
