Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT)

By CoinGecko | Updated on May 28, 2020
They are collectible elements within the Ethereum blockchain under ERC-721, where each token refers to a single element with a certain value. They represent something unique and therefore does not have the mutual interchangeable value. In other words, no non-fungible token is the same. The most popular is CryptoKitties, but there are many others.
