What is NFT? - Non-Fungible Token
NFTs turn your digital assets into ""one of a kind"" by creating a unique digital signature that defines the ownership of your assets and that can be bought and sold for real money, cryptocurrency or any other asset like a ""non-fungible token"" aka NFT.

NFT basically creates a blockchain-based digital certificate for your digital collectables, including games, music, art, and many more. This certificate gives your artwork a unique identity. The Underlying technology and the programming language used by NFTs are the same as other cryptocurrencies ie. Blockchain and the programming language Ethash or Scrypt. On the other hand, NFT is a unique token; therefore, if you try to trade it, you may end up with something completely different in your hands. Cryptopunks is a remarkable example of NFT, it enables you to buy, sell and store 10,000 collectables with the proof-of-ownership being stored on the Ethereum Blockchain.

NFT has proved itself to be a boon in the lives of many others - like Jack Dorsey, the CEO and co-founder of Twitter with his very first and famous tweet, "just setting up my twitter," and Vignesh Sundaresan, famously known as "Metakovan," who bought 69.3 million dollars worth of NFT art on Beeple. Owing to its increasing popularity, people are now willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for NFTs.
