Things To Remember
- Non-fungible means unique and not interchangeable — unlike Bitcoin where all coins are equal.
- NFTs are created (minted) on a blockchain using a smart contract standard like ERC-721.
- The NFT proves ownership of the token — not necessarily copyright of the underlying file.
- The image or media file in an NFT is often stored off-chain (e.g. on IPFS).
