Non-Fungible Tokens
In this section you'll learn about NFTs and where they are used in CIS-2.
What are Non-Fungible Tokens?
A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a special type representing a digital or physical asset's ownership. An NFT can be an on-chain proof of artwork, a game asset, music, real estate, digital or physical data, documents, etc. Anything can become an NFT as the NFT itself holds a link to the asset data itself.
One of the key drivers of this type of crypto asset is uniqueness. When you create an NFT, you create a unique asset stored on-chain with a specific token ID on a contract. This is impossible for anyone else, and your asset remains unique forever on-chain. This brings scarcity, and this is what artists need for their masterpieces.
