A brief overview of Sota Finance
Non-fungible tokens are gradually getting their deserved attention,they even reached mainstream media before decentralized finance, many felt they could no longer be ignored when Beeple bought an NFT for over $69m
But wait, what are NFTs
NFT stands for Non-fungible tokens but lets’ try to decouple NFT
Tokens: In the most simple terms are representation of ownership or stake in an ecosystem,we may liken them to shares or stocks,so when we say tokenize,we actually mean put this stuff onchain for fractional ownership
Fungible : Something is fungible if it can be divided into smaller pieces and exchange for other items same as it’s. One property that something must possess to be deemed fit as money is this quality.
For the larger part of crypto existence,fungible tokens(those of the ERC20 standard) have been the most widely used and deployed not until ERC721,ERC115 etc came onboard to make it possible to represent NFT.
So you might still be asking,what are NFTs? :There are digital representation of anything value(value means different things to different people) that is unique and can be tokenized.
You can liken NFTs to people,supposing I tokenize myself on the Ethereum blockchain,no one else can retokenize me because I am unique.
What can be tokenized as NFT?
We will cover some areas where NFTs can be applied
- Special moments: NBA topshots is helping create a unique excitement around the basketball sport by capturing special moments in games and tokenizing it.
2. Autographs : Have you seen long queue of people waiting for a footballer or celeb to put their signature on a book,jersey etc.NFTs may change that.
3. Content : Any piece of work be it artwork,videos,articles,photos etc can now be properly monetized by NFTs
4. Land & Real estate : We can tokenize the papers of a property and anyone who wishes to buy that property can easily see the history of ownership and purchases so far. This will help solve many fraud cases around property acquisition.
5. Memberships : Just like with Patreon,any content creator can mint some NFT tokens to represent access or even NFTs that are like stocks,so imagine a youtube issuing such tokens,the more the channel grows,the more valuable the tokens are.
What makes NFTs special
1. Non Fungibility : You cannot simply swap one NFT for another.
2. Uniqueness : Recently Jack Dorsey minted his very first tweet and sold it as an NFT. Anyone can simply do that but this is unique and original because it’s coming from the actual owner of the content.
3. Copyright : They are copyright protected by default,though someone else can copy and sell it,we will easily know because the digital signature on the original piece of work will not tally with the current forged copy.
How not to be a spectator
It’s not enough that one is aware of trends,technology and opportunities,they must be proactive and smart to make the most of it.
There are a number of ways one can participate in this economy,they are either create,buy or sell NFTs.
