Non Fungible Tokens

Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) represent one of the most significant assets in our token economy, as they are tradable in the Phantasma marketplace, benefiting players and content creators alike. NFTs are unique tokens on the blockchain and will be leveraged to represent almost every item in the showcase and future titles, from race cars, parts, skins, tracks.. you name it. As all in-game assets are tokenized in the form of NFTs, once acquired they become your property. Nobody, not even the companies themselves can take those items away from you. The moon is the limit, actually not even the moon. Did someone mention Moon Lambo NFT?
