NFT Picture Frame Guide: What Are NFTs?

A non-fungible token (or NFT) is a data set that usually references unique digital assets, like artwork, music, images, event tickets, or video game items. Each NFT holds an original digital signature that can’t be copied and is recorded in a blockchain (a blockchain acts as a digital ledger) that ensures ownership.

Be aware that just because you’ve purchased NFT art, you are still subject to copyright laws, so due diligence is required when buying them. In order to prevent any kind of copyright infringement, experts recommend doing a reverse image search of the artwork to double-check that it isn’t already in use, in addition to buying and trading on a reputable site. Once you’re the owner of a specific NFT, you can keep it, trade it, or transfer ownership to someone else. In simple terms, it’s basically a digital trading card.

NFT Picture Frame Guide: Where To Buy & Sell NFTs

Where can you find NFTs to purchase or trade? A lot of NFTs are bought using cryptocurrency (digital currency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum), so you’ll need a digital wallet to hold your currency. Once that’s set up, connect your digital wallet to an NFT platform (a site that facilitates the use and sale of NFTs). From there, you’ll be able to design and auction off NFT assets in addition to buying and trading them. Keep in mind there may be a fee associated with creating and selling on certain platforms.

Some of the more popular NFT platforms include:

  • Rarible – Rarible allows users to buy and sell NFTs although it charges a 2.5% transaction fee. It has a fairly robust network that should give artists and collectors a lot of options.
  • Binance – A low 1% trading fee isn’t the only thing that makes Binance a great platform. It’s also one of the largest and most respected platforms, so it has something for everyone.
  • Nifty Gateway – If you’re looking for high-end NFT artwork, you’ll find it here! Serious collectors and investment buyers will be at home on this exclusive platform.
  • OpeanSea – One of the oldest platforms, new users will appreciate the user-friendly nature of OpenSea, and can even use American dollars to purchase or trade with a 2.5% fee.
