NFTs (Non-fungible tokens) have exploded onto peoples’ consciousness over the past year, but what exactly is an NFT?

An NFT is a digital asset the represents real-world objects like art, music, games and videos. They are bought and sold online (frequently with cryptocurrency) and encoded with software.

Although existing since 2014, NFTs are gaining notoriety because they are becoming an increasingly popular way to buy and sell digital work.
