NFT Glossary

The French philosopher Voltaire famously said, “If you want to converse with me, define your terms.” This statement could be exceptionally true for NFT beginners who may find NFT-related terminologies and slangs nothing more than gibberish.

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token, which is neither physical nor replaceable. Contrary to the US Dollar, an NFT is a digital token existing virtually on the Internet. Unlike the former, which could be exchanged with another dollar bill of the same value, NFTs are distinctive tokens – thanks to their unique ID. Therefore, only one NFT of a kind exists.

Given the continuous advancement in systems and technologies that support NFTs, one must keep oneself abreast of the common terms, slang, and phrases used within the NFT community.
