Non-fungible tokens (NFT) are unique digital assets that allow creators to showcase their talents and creativity in the digital space. These cryptographic tokens are stored on a blockchain, making them one-of-a-kind and highly sought-after collectables. Understanding the blockchain technology which supports NFTs is crucial to grasp the potential of NFTs fully. Blockchain is a modern-day technology that stores data in blocks linked together in a chain. It supports NFTs such as artwork, music, virtual real estate and more. The combination of NFTs and blockchain technology revolutionises how we create, own, and trade digital assets. In this course, we'll teach you the fundamentals of NFTs, including how to create your own unique NFTs and sell them on digital platforms such as OpenSea, Nifty Gateway and more. Additionally, you'll learn how to navigate safely through the platforms and avoid scams.
We start by distinguishing between fungible and non-fungible tokens. We will also delve into the unique characteristics of NFTs and provide an overview of their history. NFTs are considered innovative and unique digital assets, and many misconceptions exist. We'll show you some of these fallacies and debunk them. You'll explore the types of blockchains, the structure of a blockchain and how NFTs and blockchain technology are interconnected. Following that, you'll learn about the Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum smart contracts, different NFT marketplaces and a few notable NFT projects.

We'll teach you about NFT security and standards, including smart contract vulnerabilities.
An NFT is created by converting a digital file into a digital asset that can be stored on a blockchain (known as minting).
