International NFT Day
NFTs are the future of digital ownership and September 20 has officially been recognized as International NFT Day. On this day in 2017, the term NFT (non-fungible token) was officially coined by?Dapper Labs?Chief Technology Officer Date Shirley in the form of the?ERC-721 standard.
Since then, NFTs have become not only industry of their own, but a cultural phenomenon where communities are built and people come together. Featuring incredible sports moments, breathtaking art, passionate communities, and innovative ideas, digital expression has taken a new meaning with NFTs. It continues to have a huge cultural as well as industrial impact.
International NFT Day is about celebrating the creators and collectors in the NFT community. It’s also a day for people to learn about NFTs and get started with their own collection. For starters, NFTs are unique cryptographic tokens or digital collectibles on the blockchain. Creating an NFT is referred to as “minting,” and the ability to possess NFTs is secure, verifiable, and in total control of the owner. Any digital asset can become an NFT: images, art, music, videos – the list is endless.
