Revolutionize the way that assets are tokenized by NFT

NFT stands for non-fungible tokens in which the token serves as the virtual representation of the ownership of an asset or good. Fungibility is the property of a good or commodity in which individual units are interchangeable and equal to one another.

NFTs are all unique and therefore distinguishable from one another.
