A non-fungible token (NFT) is a distinct digital object that is housed on a blockchain. An NFT is best described as a registration licence number for a particular, one of a kind object. For architects, photographers and other producers of original concepts, NFTs are a method of creating and showcasing their designs.

In the NFT marketplace,, authenticity of original ownership is not the same as copyright.

= Licencing and management =

The licence number for the NFT is retained within a blockchain database of information, such as transactions or agreements, that are stored chronologically across a decentralised network of computers.

This information is not usually managed by a central authority such as a bank or a government. Once published, the information on the blockchain cannot be changed. There is just one single source of information or single source of truth (immutable records of transactions, interactions) on the blockchain maintained by the network and its protocol.

= Blockchain as the NFT backbone =

Blockchain was introduced in 2008. It was first adapted as the underlying technology of Bitcoin.

In 2020, blockchain started being used as a management, certification and trading tool for unique digital assets that are tracked on blockchains. These assets could be output in any digital format - which meant they could be copied - but there would only be one original NFT record. Assets could be anything from music to fashion to games to video, which provides an outlet for artists to break through previously inaccessible markets.

The digital collectible market of 2021 has grown exponentially, as more NFTs become available and people become more comfortable with cryptocurrencies. In some instances, this trend is driving digital economic innovation.

= Energy issues and crypto trading =

Due to its reliance on computing power, blockchain, bitcoin and NFTs have been criticised for their energy usage and the carbon footprints they produce. This is due to their reliance on the proof-of-work protocol that confirms blockchain transactions over public networks.

Some NFTs are seeking alternative measures of authenticity verification - such as proof of stake - that are less energy intensive.
