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.
