NFT emerged as one of the hottest buzzwords in tech in 2021. In fact, Collins Directory selected NFT as its most recent .
​​What the heck is an NFT, you ask? To break it down in layman's terms, “NFT” (or non-fungible token) refers to the unique digital identifier that records ownership of a digital asset or tangible asset. From digital artwork and collectibles to real world real estate, the possibilities for what NFTs can represent are endless. Once bought, this cryptographic data is registered on a blockchain (a digital ledger) and cannot be replicated.
Since NFTs were introduced into the mainstream, millions have been spent on the most sought-after assets. In 2021, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey auctioned off his first tweet for $2.5 million.
NFTs open up a world of opportunities for artists in the digital art market. Encryption codes allow the creator to verify themselves as the rightful owner of a work, as well as give the art purchaser a guarantee that they have invested in an original asset.
Digital artists can use NFTs as an avenue for dropping and selling Blockchain-minted artwork for huge gains. Take the piece Everydays by graphic artist Beeple for example, which sold for $69.3 million.
