In order to become truly popular and mainstream, the company Non Fungible Films is focused on several of the obstacles that are keeping them from reaching the mainstream audience. And they’ve got a lot to show that audience, because they are focusing on creating decentralized and creator driven stories and animations, while showing the world what creators can do whenever they are freed from common limits.
NFF wants to tell a story that will get some of the most popular NFT’s to the market and out of the niche circles that it finds itself in. They want to show people that decentralization and creation rather than company driven stories and animation is the best way to go. They want people to feel safe on Web3, and spend their time getting into the stories on the platform while also preparing to tell several themselves.
Their mission is to bring NFT’s to life and show the world that creators and consumers can truly connect and build something greater than either could alone. It’s a mission that they want to take mainstream, and it could become very popular as things go on.
NFTs are one of the most recent asset additions of blockchain technology. Like most other blockchain technology, it can be difficult to understand what NFTs are and how they work. One way that you can understand how NFTs work is by looking at popular examples. Luckily, there are tons of examples you can consider and research to further understand what NFTs are.
In this article, learn about 11 examples of the most popular NFTs. These examples can further help you understand what NFTs are and what to look for if you decide to invest in them yourself.
NFT Overview
Before we dive into the 11 examples of the most popular NFTs, it’s important that you know what NFTs are by definition. For example, you need to know the answer to What does NFT stand for? NFT stands for nonfungible token. What exactly does that mean, though? It simply means that the token is non-replaceable or cannot be used interchangeably with another item. Think of an authentic Van Gogh painting. There’s no replica of it.
Whenever you invest in NFTs, know that you are not investing in the NFT itself. Instead, the NFT uses blockchain technology to prove the ownership and authenticity of an actual asset. It is the asset you are investing in. Often, NFTs are tokenized versions of digital art and online content. So, when you purchase an NFT, you are actually investing in the asset, and the NFT is backed by blockchain technology for further security.
