What are NFTs?

1. What is NFT?

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique digital representations of a piece of media built and certified by blockchain technology. They can be a representation of practically anything from art, to collectibles, music, videos, gaming gear, and much more.

• NFT v.s. FT
  NFT stands for Non Fungible Tokens. It's the only and inseparable token, such as Cryptokitties, tokenized digital tickets. FT (Fungible Token), generally refers to native tokens of a blockchain network, or tokens minted under fungible token standards. For example, BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT are fungible tokens. But the boundary of FT is also constantly expanding and evolving.

2. What are NFTs?

NFTs are generally minted with ERC-721 standards. NFTs are unique, indivisible, and interoperable proofs of digital asset ownership. It may represent your house or gear in a metaverse, or prove that you own a certain digital or physical entity, such as a piece of artwork, or an a bric-a-brac in a virtual place.

Unlike FT (Fungible token), each NFT has its own unique attributes that distinguish it from other NFTs. Each NFT has its unique attributes or properties, which may be stored on a blockchain network or other distributed networks.

• ERC721 v.s. ERC1155
  This section may involve a bit of nitty-gritty about NFTs, but it's always nice to get started with the building blocks of any burgeoning space before taking the plunge into it.

• ERC-721
  ERC-721, also called Non-fungible Token Standard, is a standard of smart contracts for creating NFTs. According to the proposal submitted to the Ethereum Improvement Proposals, NFTs can represent ownership over digital or physical assets. We considered a diverse universe of assets, and we know you'll dream up many more:

  • Physical property — houses, unique artwork

  • Virtual collectables — unique pictures of kittens, collectable cards

  • “Negative value” assets — loans, burdens and other responsibilities In general, all houses are distinct and no two kittens are alike. NFTs are distinguishable and you must track the ownership of each one separately.

• ERC-1155
  Compared to ERC-721, ERC-1155 offers an all-inclusive solution to tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. With ERC-20, for example, developers must deploy a smart contract for each individual type of tokens. ERC-721 standard introduces token IDs and the possibility of creating a group of tokens independent of one another known as NFTs. But ERC-20 and ERC-721 can't exist simultaneously in one smart contract. In contrast, the ERC-1155 Multi Token Standard allows for each token ID to represent a new configurable token type, which may have its own metadata, supply and other attributes.
