1. What is NFT?

NFT stands for Non-fungible token, which is a unit of data on a blockchain digital ledger. In a word, it is a type of digital asset present on a digital chain (blockchain). This blockchain acts as a ledger that ensures the authenticity of both the assets and the owners.

Most digital content and objects in the past are infinitely reproducible. But with NFT it is different, each asset will have its own unique digital signature and therefore it is unique. Each minted NFT token has a unique unique identifier and belongs to a unique owner. As a digital asset, NFTs are also often traded in cryptocurrencies, but sometimes also in USD.

NFT is simply a digital asset in the form of a blockchain

2. Application of NFT in real life

NFT has been and is being applied most commonly in digital content such as music, pictures or other art content. For example, when an artist sells a painting as NFT, the buyer will have to pay and become the owner of it. Others can still see the painting, but only the buyer has official ownership.

NFT has limitless potential as it can exist in all types of digital objects: images, videos, audio, text or even a Twitter post. NFTs can also be pieces of land in virtual world environments, a digital garment or the right to use a proprietary cryptocurrency wallet.

So what are the benefits that NFT brings? The tokenization of assets can bring significant benefits to both sellers and buyers. Because NFT assets can verify authenticity and clear ownership, transactions are also transparent, especially with artworks where authenticity is important in determining value. Sellers themselves can also protect their intellectual property rights and enjoy the fruits of their labor more fairly.

Or like in the game world, if you buy items and characters in the form of NFT, then you are the 100% exclusive owner of it, no one can infringe. Not even the game publisher can delete your character or items.

In the current NFT projects, the game industry NFT has received a lot of attention from investors. If you are interested in this field, it is important to evaluate potential NFTs. Basically, we should consider the following 3 factors with an NFT:

1. Community

The NFT game project, of course, its core is still the game. The hotter the game, the larger the community, the greater the potential, and vice versa. That way, the game assets that you buy with NFT will be sought after and have high exchange value in the market.

To gauge if the community is strong enough, look at the game's regular players and engagement on the game's official social networks.

2. Game development team

As always, it is important to research the founder and builder of any investment project. NFT projects in the game industry are often built early, and many businesses are still quite new, so sales cannot be read.

So the more reputable the team of project people, the more reliable they are. Take the time to get to know both the people who design games, build quality content and those who do business and promote to get an overview.

Game Design: specializes in building images and features in games. Experience in game companies or game studios is required, ideally with additional track record in creating some of the top games.

This is also the most important position for game development in the long term because games attract players through interesting interfaces and features. If the company is transparent, this information is not difficult to find.

3. Token Price History 

Viewing the up and down history of the token will give us a certain view of the value of the project. Ask yourself the question is the current price reasonable? When and why did the price increase? Buying tokens when just starting IDO the project is not a smart choice because the new price will be quite high. To see the price history, NFT games that have been on the floor for 1 month or more can be analyzed carefully.

To understand what NFT is is not difficult, but to make smart and profitable investments is still a big question not everyone knows for sure. But either way, NFT is still an interesting product segment and has the potential to explode even more in the future.
