Ownership of NFTs can grant
some privileges within online
communities

5. DEFINITION
“A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique
and non-interchangeable unit of data stored
on a digital ledger (blockchain). 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.”

6. “NFT” NAME ORIGIN
“NFT” was satisfactory to nearly everyone surveyed and is widely
applicable to a broad universe of distinguishable digital assets. We
recognize that “deed” is very descriptive for certain applications of
this standard (notably, physical property).
Alternatives considered: distinguishable asset, title,
token, asset, equity, ticket
