Why are NFTs interesting? NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are appealing owing to their potential to transform digital ownership and authenticity. They provide a new paradigm for artists and producers to tokenize their work, giving them direct control as well as cash from sales and resales. NFTs also bring verified scarcity and provenance to the digital arena, giving collectors a novel opportunity to own and exchange one-of-a-kind digital goods. Their implementation in gaming, virtual real estate, and even digital identification expands their possibilities beyond art, enabling a dynamic ecology of innovation and creative inquiry.

My touchpoints with NFTs so far: During my master's degree, I learned about NFTs, diving into their complexities and relevance. Beyond theory, I actively participated in the purchasing and selling of NFTs by minting my own designs. This hands-on experience not only expanded my knowledge but also introduced me to the dynamic world of digital ownership and blockchain-based assets.
