NFT for Dummies

Before we get into what the Ape In thing is all about, there are a few things you should know about NFTs, or Non-fungible Tokens. We’ll go over the very minimum you will need to understand everything.

NFTs are blockchain-based cryptographic tokens. A blockchain is a public ledger of unchangeable transactions. Most blockchains are distributed, meaning that various entities own and control them.

A “token” is a unique sequence of integers that can be allotted to a “wallet” managed by someone on a blockchain.

Because they are all unique in a sense, NFTs are not fungible. You can’t replace it with another identical item or currency. For comparison, you can exchange a $1 bill with any other dollar bill and it will retain its value. Chickens <3, gold, and money are all fungible. Keep in mind that you can buy and sell NFTs in US dollars, Bitcoin, or Ethereum.
