In the blockchain, Token generally has the following three types:
Payment Tokens: Currency circulating in the blockchain market, mainly used for payment or as asset storage, such as Bitcoin (BTC), BNBcoin(BNB ), Dogecoin (Dogecoin) and Ether (ETH) belong to this category kind.
Utility Tokens: Provide users with access to products or services, users need to have the token to use related services, such as Tom Bear’s game tokens and Adventureland game tokens, you need to hold its Tokens to enjoy services (play games, gaming facilities…etc).
Asset Tokens: Asset tokens represent assets, similar to stocks, bonds, etc. issued by companies, and holders can obtain relevant rights and interests (such as dividends, interest income).
What is NFT (Non-Fungible Token)?
The full name of NFT is Non-Fungible Token, which translates to “non-fungible token” in Chinese.
Non-fungible tokens mean that they cannot be replaced with each other and cannot be divided. For example, each NFT has its own number (meaning that each is unique), so the NFT in your hand is not equal to the NFT in my hand. Just like the original Mona Lisa and other painters’ counterfeit works, although the appearance looks the same, but in fact the value of the two is vastly different;
As mentioned earlier, the technology of blockchain has the characteristics of “non-tampering”, while NFT has “uniqueness”, so when the two are combined, it can create “unique authentication that cannot be tampered with”, because NFT has Because of its unique nature, most people agree that it is an asset-based token. As long as it is used in conjunction with a personal encrypted wallet, it can become an exclusive personal asset preservation.
The art world has been quite a headache in the past. Now through the characteristics of the blockchain, it is completely impossible for NFT works to be counterfeited. Therefore, artists themselves or large institutions can feel at ease to make their own works (paintings, video, music, animation, virtual land…) into NFT, and then announce to the public: “This is an NFT work issued by the original author. , there is absolutely no need to worry about fake works, which is why NFTs will start to become popular in the field of artworks.
What product areas does NFT involve?
Since NFTs are inseparable, unique, and can easily distinguish between true and false, the following are the currently known product categories:
Artwork, video, music, insurance contract, sale and purchase contract, academic diploma, housing fund sale/rental contract, game virtual goods, virtual real estate sale, fan tickets, membership certification…etc
Many works of art currently sold on NFTs have scarcity (few artists sell works on them, and they are all sold in limited quantities), and scarcity will cause prices to rise, making the NFT trading market quite hot.
In addition to artworks, NFTs have gradually become popular in the sports world. Many stars have issued NFTs for fans, so that fans can purchase star supplies through NFTs, digital tickets to visit games, or NFTs around the team to serve fans, such as the NBA basketball team. Participated in the NFT boom and issued player cards.
In the future, NFT may have a wider range of applications. Because of its unique characteristics, it is easy to think of its development in patents and intellectual property rights. In the future, as long as creators store their works in the form of NFT in the blockchain , it no longer needs to be issued through centralized organizations (such as video and audio platforms, social platforms), so that most of the profits can be left to the creators.
Then, NFT can also be applied to the ownership of physical assets, such as real estate, artwork, insurance, etc. NFT can represent partial ownership of real assets and store them in the blockchain network, which can be more convenient in The market conducts circulation transactions, which can also reduce the commission of middlemen (both parties to the transaction can transfer in person, without the need for complicated procedures such as banks and real estate developers).
Even when one day humans want to create an identity in the virtual world, they can use NFT technology to assist. In the future, when people store identity proof or ownership information, NFT can help their privacy and integrity. It can be seen that the development potential of NFT is indeed huge.
NFT technology has become the new darling of the encryption market, and its intrinsic value is gradually increasing with the popularity of the application level. For ordinary people, in addition to supporting original art, directly buying NFTs can also save their favorite products and enjoy them is also a good way to participate.
NFT知識
在區塊鏈中，Token 一般具有以下三種型態：
支付型代幣 (Payment Tokens)：區塊鏈市場上流通的貨幣，主要拿來支付或當成資產儲存，例如比特幣(BTC)、 幣安幣(BNB )、狗狗幣(Dogecoin)、以太幣 (ETH) 便是屬於此類。
功能型代幣 (Utility Tokens)：為用戶提供產品或服務的訪問權，用戶需要具有該代幣才能使用相關服務，例如湯姆熊的遊戲代幣以及冒險樂園遊戲代幣，你需要持有它的代幣才能享受服務(玩遊戲、遊戲設施…等等)。
資產型代幣 (Asset Tokens)：資產型代幣代表資產，類似於公司發行的股票、債券等等，持有人能夠獲得相關權益(例如股息、利息收入)。
什麼是 NFT (非同質化代幣)？
NFT 的全名為 Non-Fungible Token，中文翻譯為「非同質化代幣」。
非同質化代幣，代表它不能互相取代、且無法分割，像是每個 NFT 都有專屬於自己的編號(代表每個都是獨一無二的)，所以你手中的 NFT 不等於我手中的 NFT。就像是蒙娜麗莎的真跡與其他畫家的仿冒品，雖然外表看似一樣，但實際上兩者的價值天差地遠；
前面提到，區塊鏈這項技術具有「不可竄改」的特性，而 NFT 具有「唯一性」，所以當兩者結合在一起時，就能創造「不可竄改的唯一認證」，NFT由於它具有獨一無二性質，因此大多數的人都一致認為它屬於資產型代幣，只要配合個人加密錢包的使用 就可以成為專屬個人的資產保存。
過去藝術界一直相當頭痛的問題。現透過區塊鏈的特性，NFT 作品要被仿冒是完全不可能的。所以藝術家本人或大型機構，便能夠很放心把自己的作品 (畫作、影音、音樂、動畫、虛擬土地……) 製作成 NFT，然後向社會大眾公布：「這是由原創作者所發行的 NFT 作品，完全不需要擔心是假的作品，這也是為什麼 NFT 會先從藝術品的領域開始火紅起來。
NFT 涉及的產品領域有哪些？
由於 NFT 具有不可分割、獨一無二、能輕易分辨真假的特性，以下為目前已知的產品種類：
藝術品、影片、音樂、保險合約、買賣合約、學歷文憑、房屋基金買賣/租務合約、遊戲虛擬用品、虛擬地產買賣、粉絲門票、會員認證…等等
目前在 NFT 上販售的許多藝術品都具有缺稀性(很少藝術家在上面賣作品，而且都是限量販售)，而稀缺性會造成價格的上漲，使得 NFT 交易市場變得相當火熱。
除了藝術品外，NFT 也逐漸在體育界普及，許多球星都有發行粉絲NFT，讓粉絲可以透過NFT購買球星用品， 數位門票參觀比賽、或者是 NFT 球隊周邊來服務粉絲，諸如 NBA籃球隊都有參與 NFT 熱潮，發行球員卡牌。
未來 NFT 可能會有更廣泛的應用，因為其獨一無二的特性，很容易能聯想到其在專利權、知識產權上的發展，未來只要創作者將自己的作品以 NFT 的形式儲存於區塊鏈中，就不再需要透過中心化組織(像是影音平台、社交平台)發出，如此一來就可以把大部分的利潤留給創作者。
再來，NFT 也可以應用於實體資產上的所有權，例如不動產、藝術品、保險…等等，NFT 可以代表現實資產的部分所有權，並以在區塊鏈網路中儲存，可以更方便地在市場進行流通交易，也能減少中間商的抽成(交易雙方可以親自進行轉移，不需要經過銀行、地產業者等繁複的手續)。
甚至當有一天人類想在虛擬世界創建身份，也能夠用 NFT 的技術去輔助。在未來，人們在儲存身份證明或擁有權資料時，NFT 可以幫助其隱私性和完整性，能看出 NFT 的發展潛力確實非常龐大。
NFT 技術成為加密市場的新寵兒，其內在價值隨著應用層面的普及也在逐步提升。 對於一般人來說，除了支持原創藝術，直接購買 NFT 也可以保存自己喜愛產品及欣賞也是不錯的參與方式。
