Fundamentals

What Are NFTs?

NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis like cryptocurrencies. Each NFT has distinct properties that make it irreplaceable.

Unique Ownership

Unlike fungible tokens (like Bitcoin or DracmaS), NFTs represent unique items. No two NFTs are exactly alike, even if they belong to the same collection.

Blockchain Verification

Ownership and authenticity are verified through blockchain technology, providing immutable proof of provenance and ownership history.

Digital Scarcity

NFTs create digital scarcity in a world of infinite copies. They solve the problem of proving uniqueness and ownership in the digital realm.

Interoperability

NFTs can be traded across different platforms and blockchains, enabling cross-platform ownership and utility.

Technology

How NFTs Work

Smart Contracts

NFTs are created using smart contracts that define their properties, ownership rules, and transfer mechanisms.

Metadata & Assets

Each NFT contains metadata that points to the digital asset and includes attributes, descriptions, and other information.

Wallet Storage

NFTs are stored in digital wallets, with ownership recorded on the blockchain for transparent and secure management.

NFT Standards

ERC-721

The original NFT standard on Ethereum, defining the basic interface for non-fungible tokens.

A multi-token standard that supports both fungible and non-fungible tokens in a single contract.
