Over the last year, billions of dollars have been deployed into NFTs as investors aim to capture the next 'domain name' wealth. Unlike domain names, the technology behind NFTs provide a much higher chance for digital products, as they represent a tool to enable the development and release of digitally native products by anyone on Earth.
And there is a literal universe of creative possibilities for NFTs, as many as our minds can imagine, rather than the expansive though limited name area of the early Internet. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digitally native products or items which are developed and handled on a blockchain. A blockchain is a digital ledger, which successfully functions as a database for tracking and (in this case NFT) management.
Think of it like a digital phone book, where anybody can release their number and have it verified by the telephone company. The blockchain operates likewise, except instead of the phone company validating the NFT, the blockchain network does. Like a telephone number in the phonebook, as soon as an NFT is minted it can not be copied or replicated.

NFTs are various since they are minted distinctively, comparable to a painting or trading card. Often cards will have a print number, suggesting the originality of the set.
We may have similar cards, however your print number is different and therefore can represent a different worth on the marketplace. The most basic way to think of an NFT is to consider it a digital collectible. Many financiers are familiar with antiques such as art work, fine red wine, trading cards, or perhaps timeless automobiles.
