Non-fungible tokens

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are unique cryptographic tokens that represent ownership and authenticity of one-of-a-kind digital collectibles like artwork, music, videos, items in video games, and more. Unlike fungible cryptocurrency coins or assets that are identical and interchangeable with each other, each NFT is distinct and not interchangeable.

Just like a physical piece of art, NFTs convey proof of ownership over wholly original digital artwork or other digital asset types. This scarcity and verifiable uniqueness gives NFTs their inherent value. NFTs live on blockchains as publicly viewable tokens signifying a person's or organization's ownership over the associated digital item, allowing digital creators to sell limited edition digital goods by taking advantage of the transparency and security of blockchain-based ledgers.

How do you buy NFTs?

The NFT market is considered high risk, and its volatile highs and lows can deter even experienced investors. If you are thinking of buying NFTs, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the process. Let’s look at the steps involved:

  • Open a crypto exchange account: The first step is to open an account on a crypto platform or crypto exchange. A crypto exchange is an online platform where you can buy and sell different types of cryptocurrencies. To buy NFTs, you need to create an account with your chosen platform. Different platforms offer different services, so it’s worth researching them to find out which suits you best in terms of features, fees, and ongoing support.
  • Open a crypto wallet: A crypto wallet stores the keys that grant access to your digital assets. Users are given a unique seed phrase – also called a recovery phrase – to access their wallet. It’s essential to keep your seed phrase safe – without it, you lose access to your wallet.
