What is NFT?
NFT is short for Non-Fungible Token, something like Certificate of Authenticity. In real life, classic artwork and valuable, historical artifacts are often sold at auction with receipts indicating the object's authenticity.
NFT does the same thing for digital items. They certify uniqueness in GIF, JPEG, MP3 and any other format. This technology creates a new kind of ownership for digital files that wasn't previously possible. NFTs can be bought, acquired, or sold, and even destroyed as physical objects.
The process of converting your work to NFT is called "Minting", which refers to the process of creating a new blockchain coin and will forever be attached to that content, such as your image file. Artists multiply the internal NFT by adding an internal commission to the token (usually 10 to 30%). Whenever their work is resold, they are entitled to this commission.
