NFT 101: What is an NFT?
NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. Here “Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else. For example, a bitcoin is fungible — trade one for another bitcoin, and you’ll have exactly the same.
NFTs can really be anything digital (such as drawings, music, videos, etc.), but a lot of the current excitement is around using the tech to sell digital art.
