Non-Fungible Token (NFT): Survey, Analysis, Benefits, and Provocation
Keywords:
NFT,· Blockchain , Smart Contract , DApp· MetaverseAbstract
The Non-Fungible Token (NFT) marketplace has been growing rapidly in recent years, inspired by the Ethereum token. At the time of writing, the total cash used on finished NFT income has reached 34,530,649.86 USD. However, the improvement of the NFT environment remains in its early stage, and the technology of NFT is premature. This technical report provides a top-level view of contemporary NFT solutions, technical components, protocols, standards, and favored proprieties, as well as a safety evolution.
