NFT Characteristics
NFTs are unique digital assets with several distinguishing features.
- Unique identification and metadata
- Stored on a blockchain
- Proof of ownership and provenance
- Non-interchangeable and non-divisible like conventional assets
- Represent real or digital goods and rights
- Useful for identity, collectibles, and digital ownership records
Key Idea
The value of an NFT lies in its uniqueness and the claim of ownership it provides on a public blockchain, even though the underlying file may still be copied.
