NFTs are Non-Fungible Tokens, word non-fungible means irreplaceable and unique. Why I'm relating unique with nonfungible, everything that is irreplaceable is unique. For instance, if you draw a sketch, it becomes a masterpiece and nobody can replace it, which comes with uniqueness as well as being non-fungible. And the word Token means proof of authority which means the sketch you draw belongs to you and you are the authorized owner of this sketch.
If someone wants to buy the NFT, first he/she has to exchange some currency with you and in return, he will receive a token of that NFT.
How it Works
