NFTs have become very popular within the cryptocurrency space and beyond, and the market is currently worth billions of dollars.

What are NFTs?

Nonfungible tokens are cryptographic assets on a blockchain. They have unique identification codes and metadata. The codes and metadata make each NFT unique. Unlike regular art pieces, NFTs cannot be copied or duplicated.

NFTs are easy to create. There are numerous NFT marketplaces that allow users to freely create a nonfungible token with zero programming knowledge required. OpenSea, Rarible, and Mintable are some of the leading NFT marketplaces available to people.

The proof of ownership of each NFT is what makes them tradable and nonfungible assets. After an NFT is created, the blockchain ledger records it and its unique ID codes. The blockchain ledger further records each sale and resale and ownerships of the NFT. Thus, preventing the copying of an NFT and eliminating fraudulent claims of ownership.
