The \u2018Non-fungible Token\u2019<\/span> (NFT) meaning is essentially proof of ownership of a unique, one-of-a-kind product \u2013 such as an original work of digital art.

A NFT Marketplace is a platform that makes it simple to store and sell NFTs that are then sold at auction at a set price. There are dozens of platforms that let you sell NFTs across a wide variety of NFT Marketplaces<\/span> (aka exchanges or blockchains).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
