Token– any record in such a system. In an open blockchain, all tokens are exchangeable.

For example, one bitcoin in one user’s wallet = 1 bitcoin in another user’s wallet. But with Non-Fungible Token (NFT) technology, everything is different: each non-fungible token is unique.

This method is suitable to secure your rights to any object of virtual reality – an object of art, any element of a computer game, or even real estate.

Among the most famous deals is the sale of the first tweet of billionaire and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, $ 69.3 million for a Beeple collage of 5,000 drawings, and a Nyan Cat gif for $ 442,000
