Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets that are authenticated using blockchain technology. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are interchangeable and identical to each other, each NFT has different information that makes it unique. NFTs have become extremely popular due to their use in digitizing art, collectibles and even moments in sports.
