How It Works

Breakdown

An NFT is a digitized, authenticated token that is linked to a digital asset and is recorded on a blockchain. Typically, the blockchain does not store the actual tokenized work because it is too large. Blockchain protocols that support smart contracts are popular because they can offer both a cryptocurrency that can be used to make payments and a programming language that can support “smart contracts” that facilitate blockchain transactions. (“Smart contracts” is a bit of a misnomer; in our opinion, a more accurate description would be “blockchain applications.”)

Because each NFT contains a unique serial number or “fingerprint” (also known as a hash) that cannot be duplicated, NFTs are traceable and, as its supporters emphasize, incapable of duplication.

Because a hash is a cryptographic key generated from a specific digital file, it will only match one specific copy of the content. Hashes can be used by NFT owners to prove that they own a copy of the linked content from which the NFT was generated. In other words, the NFT is a blockchain-stored ownership record of this match that can be transferred to someone else, whose ownership will also be stored on the blockchain.

The “nonfungible” aspect of the NFT determines its value because the purchaser is purchasing an authenticated digital asset, similar to a certified nondigital asset, such as an autographed painting or a signed baseball card. When one buys a painting or a baseball card, no copyright rights are usually transferred, and the same is true for an NFT. The first publicly available tweet was recently sold as an NFT for $2.9 million. Because he was the author of the tweet, Jack Dorsey was able to verify its authenticity and avoid any claims of copyright infringement.

FAQ

Tokens

Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that establishes a peer-to-peer network that securely executes and verifies application code, called smart contracts. Smart contracts allow participants to transact with each other without a trusted central authority.
A non-fungible token is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a digital ledger. NFTs can be used to represent easily-reproducible items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files as unique items, and use blockchain technology to establish a verified and public proof of ownership.

Each NFT has a specific identifier (token), similar to a VIN number on a car. This number identifies the NFT as authentic and confirms it to be the only version with its unique characteristics.
A “Drop” is the release date where the NFT is officially created and minted onto the platform and available for sale to the end user and subsequent secondary market.
Mint is the term used for the initial introduction of an NFT onto the Rising Baseball Stars platform and the Ethereum blockchain.
