The number of football clubs that are included in the NFT world, of course, as a fan you must know what NFT is, so to make it clearer, we will discuss the ins and outs of NFT.

What is NFT?

The current era of digitalization continues to grow rapidly. Last year, there was a decentralized currency (DeFi). This is a new financial system which adopts blockchain technology. DeFi has gained a huge following among crypto enthusiasts around the world over the past year. This year, the development of blockchain gave birth to NFT.

NFT or Non-Fungible Token or Token is a functional token based on blockchain technology. Bitcoin and altcoins are coins, so NFTs are like digital certificates. Thus, users only have NFTs with digital asset ownership records. The NFT must also be the only blockchain-based certificate that represents ownership of the asset.

The NFT will have a unique code number and metadata. It will not be reproduced. Definitely different from other NFT assets. Unique codes can also be used to issue tokens, transfer ownership and more.

NFT is based on the common cryptocurrencies under the Ethereum network, namely ERC-1155 and ERC-721. Def portfolio services, such as Metamask and platforms such as EOS, Neo and Tron also issue their own NTFs. The goal is to compete with Ethereum for presenting crypto nft. Using the NFT system

Not only for cryptography, NFT systems are often used outside of cryptography. Recently, NFT is often used by musicians who sell music and video cassettes. NFT is a certified copy of the original value. It’s like a work of art like music and videos being released everywhere.

Of course, the prices of the first and late cassettes are very different. And the distributed digital cassettes also have a slight price difference. It depends on the seller. Literally, fungible means “unchangeable”. An example of a fungible is Bitcoin because it cannot be replaced with only 21.5 million BTC in circulation in the majority.

This is different from the unique NFT. When compared to the real world. They all have their own copies. Such as pictures, photos, music and more. So people can’t tell which works are original and which are duplicates. So, with the NFT, the validity of counterfeit assets can be spread to the public.
