Unique token
Each NFT has its own code, which does not repeat. That is what ensures it is unique and different from all the others.
Beginner's guide
What is an NFT
NFT is the English acronym for non-fungible token. In practice, it is a digital certificate, recorded on the blockchain, that proves you own a unique item, such as art, a game item, or a collectible. Unlike a cryptocurrency, each NFT is unique.

Concept
NFT in one sentence
Think of an NFT as a digital certificate of authenticity. It is not the image itself, but the proof, recorded on the blockchain, of who owns that item.
The expression "non-fungible" means unique and irreplaceable. One real is worth another real, and one Bitcoin is worth another Bitcoin. But each NFT is different and cannot be exchanged for an identical one.
How does an NFT work?
Three ideas explain the basics.
Recorded on the blockchain
Ownership and history are recorded on a public network. You can check who created it and through whose hands the item passed.
Automatic transfer
Smart contracts move the NFT from one owner to another, without needing a notary office or intermediary.
Unique and speculative
NFTs solve digital ownership, but the surrounding market is volatile and requires caution.
Utility
What is an NFT used for?
Prove ownership of digital art. And of unique collectible items.
Game items. That belong to the player, not just the game company.
Tickets and certificates. Digital and hard to counterfeit.
Identity and utilities in Web3. Like access to communities and experiences.
Where are NFTs used?
