What is an NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens)
Before we talk about NFT, we should know about what are fungible assets. The term fungibility means any asset that can interchange with another asset with the same value. For example, two 1$ currencies cannot have different exchange rates when moving to another currency. So, simply fungible assets are not unique. Nonfungible assets are the opposite of this. Like it is unique and non-replicable.
