NFTs, oo loo yaqaan Non-Fungible Tokens, waa tignoolajiyad cusub oo qayb ka ah blockchain-ka, gaar ahaan kan Ethereum. Waxay matalaan hanti dijitaal ah oo gaar ah, aan la isu bedbedeli karin sida lacagaha caadiga ah ama cryptocurrencies kale.
Marka la yiraahdo “non-fungible”, waxaa loola jeedaa in NFT-ga uu yahay mid gaar ah oo aan la mid ahayn wax kale. Tusaale ahaan, haddii aad haysato sawir digital ah oo NFT ah, qof kale ma haysan karo isla sawirkaas oo si isku mid ah loo aqoonsan karo — mid kasta waa unique.
Sida NFTs u shaqeeyaan
NFT-yadu waxay ku shaqeeyaan blockchain-ka, taasoo ah diiwaan dijitaal ah oo aan la beddeli karin. Marka sawir, muusig, ama farshaxan kale loo beddelo NFT, macnaha waa in la geliyay blockchain, waxaana la siiyay aqoonsi gaar ah (token ID) oo xaqiijinaya milkiyadda.
NFT-ga waxaa la iibin karaa, la iibsan karaa, ama la wareejin karaa, taasoo micnaheedu yahay in dadku ay ganacsi ku samayn karaan NFTs — si la mid ah sida hanti dhab ah loo kala iibsado.

What are NFTs?
NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are a type of digital asset built on blockchain technology, especially on the Ethereum network. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, NFTs are unique and cannot be exchanged on a one-to-one basis.
“Non-fungible” means each token is unique and cannot be replaced by another. For example, a digital artwork that exists as an NFT is distinct and owned only by one person, even if copies exist — the NFT itself proves authenticity and ownership.
How Do NFTs Work?
NFTs operate on blockchain platforms. When someone creates a digital item — like an image, song, or 3D model — they can mint it as an NFT. This minting process gives the asset a unique token ID on the blockchain.
Once minted, the NFT can be sold, traded, or transferred. The blockchain keeps a record of all transactions, ensuring transparency and security of ownership.
Popular Examples of NFTs
- CryptoPunks – A collection of pixelated avatars, each a unique NFT.
- Bored Ape Yacht Club – An NFT collection featuring illustrated apes with various styles.
- NBA Top Shot – Highlight clips of basketball moments sold as NFTs.
Why Do NFTs Have Value?
NFTs derive their value from:
- Scarcity: Each token is one-of-a-kind or part of a limited series.
- Verified ownership: The blockchain proves who owns what.
- Community and hype: Celebrity endorsements and social buzz can dramatically raise an NFT’s price.
Benefits and Risks of NFTs
Benefits:
- New income streams for artists and content creators.
- Immutable proof of ownership.
- Easy global sales and transfers.
Risks:
- NFT prices are highly volatile.
- The market can be flooded with scams or fake NFTs.
- Legal regulations are still catching up.
