What is NFT and Why There is a Need for NFT?

“NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unit of data stored in a digital ledger called blockchain, which confirms that a digital asset is unique, one and only, therefore, not interchangeable. It can be used to represent any type of digital file. NFTs are copyrighted and tracked on the blockchain, ensuring uniqueness. In its blockchain network, it is generally produced in the ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards, not in the Ethereum ERC-20 standard.”

With the popularity of cryptocurrencies in 2017, NFT production has shown an increase. In 2021, the interest in the use of NFT in different fields has ascended noticeably either. As of the first quarter of 2021, more than $2 Billion has been spent on NFT production.

Why NFT is Valuable?

The most important feature of NFT that distinguishes itself from cryptocurrency is that its uniqueness and individuality. Unlike cryptocurrencies, they cannot be exchanged with each other at the same unit price. That’s why NFTs are one in particular. The need and reliance on NFTs are increasing, as there are many areas where their unique properties have been using.

People often need to keep valuables in safe places, banks or in places where no one can think of. However, there is always a risk of losing or being stolen. In the event that it is taken back, you must prove that the item or money belongs to you. This is where NFT get involved. Due to its uniqueness, a key that only you have is the most accurate indicator that the valuable virtual item or money you lost belongs to you.

Access to digitally available NFTs is quite easy. Reproduction and copying are out of the question as it contains unique information. It is easy to use and store as there are no items that you need to physically store. You can eliminate the disadvantages of physically owning a high-value item by owning digitally.

Another feature that makes NFT valuable is that it uses blockchain technology such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, so it is effortless and error-free to track backwards. Data processed into blocks cannot be changed or deleted.
