Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

An NFT is a blockchain token that is one-of-a-kind, used to represent ownership of a specific digital or physical item.

In depth

"Fungible" means interchangeable โ€” one USDT equals any other. An NFT has a unique ID, so it can stand for a particular artwork, ticket, game item or property deed. The token proves who owns it; the item itself usually lives elsewhere and is referenced by the tokenโ€™s metadata.

Row of identical coins labelled "fungible" vs a row of distinct framed images each with a unique token ID labelled "non-fungible".

Why it matters

NFTs generalise blockchain ownership beyond money โ€” the same idea underlies tokenised real-world assets.
