What is an NFT?

One special type of digital asset is an NFT, which stands for non-fungible token. “Non-fungible” means it is unique and cannot be swapped one-for-one with another item the way money can. An NFT acts like a digital certificate of ownership that proves you own a specific item, such as a piece of digital art, a collectible, or an in-game object.
Even though the item is digital, the NFT shows who owns it, much like a receipt or title deed. This ownership is recorded on a blockchain, so it cannot be changed or faked.
