Details
In a short period of time, non-fungible tokens (or NFTs) have made their mark in the digital world as tradeable tokens, as well as a form of artistic expression. Add to this the fact that NFTs cannot be replicated or have their ownership manipulated, and the result is a thriving community that’s a haven for passionate creators and collectors.
What began as an exploration of how blockchain can be used has now taken a life of its own. On September 20, 2017, blockchain technology company Dapper Labs’ Chief Technology Officer Dete Shirley published a paper called the ERC-721 standard. ERC-721 would become the template for non-fungible tokens and was the first time the term “NFT” was used. In this proposal, the term ‘Non-Fungible Token’ was first introduced and has become the abbreviation used since the entity’s introduction. International NFT Day marks not only the annual anniversary of this revolutionary publication but also the actual birthday of NFTs.
