Non Fungible Tokens or NFTs are digital assets tied to digital or real-life objects, providing proof of ownership. NFTs have rapidly sprung up since the beginning of this year, and became one the leading trends in the red-hot crypto market. Even though NFTs have been around for several years, they really took off this year with massive sales such as the $69 million auction for an NFT created by digital artist Beeple.
