WHAT IS NFT?
NFT is the protection of ownership of digital assets through smart contracts by recording them on blockchain infrastructure. It is a certificate representing the rarity and ownership of a digital artwork. Today, it is used in many places such as the gaming industry, virtual events, protection of digital collections and metaverse technology. Its usage areas are gradually increasing.
NFT-BLOCKCHAIN RELATIONSHIP
The reason why NFTs are able to protect the ownership of digital assets is because they are recorded on blockchain infrastructure. Blockchain infrastructure links information together like a chain, making it secure and unalterable. This allows NFTs to record and protect digital assets on the blockchain.
HOW IMPORTANT WILL IT BE IN THE FUTURE?
I think this sector will advance a lot in the future and in an increasingly digitalized world, everyone will own NFTs in the future, whether they want to or not. Because today, the digitalization of our signatures with electronic signatures, digital certificates given to us with polygon ID, etc. show us that we can and probably will be digitalized in every sense. The digitalization of our assets requires us to secure their authenticity so that they cannot be forged and used against our will. NFT seems to be a technology that will meet this need very well.
In addition to protecting our own assets, I think it could also be a source of livelihood in the future. This technology could allow people who today buy valuable items (such as valuable paintings of famous painters, jerseys worn by great football players in important matches), keep them for a while and then sell them, to do this with digital assets in the digital world. And while forging those artifacts is a big problem for this sector, thanks to NFT technology, digital artifacts cannot be forged.
