What Is an NFT?

An NFT has become an essential part of crypto, which is difficult to deny. What exactly does it stand for? What are the essential points defying a perfect NFT:

  • Indivisibility — NFTs have historically been indivisible when it comes to their utility. 
  • Rarity — NFTs can come in limited supply, that's one of the reasons driving their value. 
  • Exclusive — NFTs are unique, there can’t be two same NFTs — they're not interchangeable. 
  • Ownership — The original creators of the NFT have the private key to the account where the NFT exists.
  • Transparency — Because public distributed ledgers are decentralized and unchangeable, all the details can be publicly verified, and buyers can trust and check on the authenticity of an NFT.
  • Scalability — NFTs can be traded, bought, or sold within various marketplaces using a decentralized bridge or centralized custodial service.

What Is Ethereum?

Ethereum is an open-source, decentralized platform. The Ethereum network reminds the Bitcoin network, built on blockchain technology. That’s a virtual public ledger where all the financial agreements can be verified and stored by software with no third parties in the middle.

It’s something like a secure database that's still accessible to anyone. When new data "blocks" are added, they're cryptographically "chained" to a parent block, making a record of the previous changes impossible to change. 

Ethereum is one of the largest cryptocurrencies after (or next to, if you want) Bitcoin because ether is the second-largest crypto next to bitcoin by market capitalization. 

But some crucial factors make Ethereum stand out and differ from its compatriot, Bitcoin. There are smart contracts, which are self-executed agreements that ensure that assets change owners when particular conditions have been fulfilled in the platform’s core. 

Besides, ether is the platform’s fuel giving it a utility and a fundamental value that bitcoin does not have.

Ethereum is used for NFT because:

  • it’s a highly secure network and data architecture
  • the Ethereum blockchain leads the decentralized finance (DeFi) market, so numerous NFT projects running on it as ERC-721 coins
  • the blockchain provides NFTs with extensive access to a vast and growing market
  • NFT systems should be Ethereum compatible so that Ethereum wallets can support them
