NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. Which generally means a specific type of digital artwork or file that is stored in a blockchain. These NFTs are non-replaceable meaning all the art here is not one and the same. For example, consider yourself in an art gallery buying a painting done by a particular person, the art gallery will give you the exact same painting that’s on the display. This is non-replaceable. To be clearer, I will give you an example. Think of going to a watch showroom and buying a normal watch, they will give you a watch identical to the watch that you selected from the stock they have. But think of buying a limited edition watch with a manufactured number written on it. So NFTs are like this limited-edition watch they are one of a kind.
