nft

NFTs (or Non-Fungible Tokens) are special types of digital items that are unique and impossible to copy. Think of them like an artwork that can't be duplicated -- you can own the only copy! NFTs are recorded on a blockchain, a technology that keeps track of who does and does not own something, and can be bought and sold like any other item and each one is unique. In other words, no two NFTs are exactly the same. They are used to represent things like artwork, photos, videos, music, or game items, allowing people to own digital content like they would own a physical item.
