Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique cryptographic assets that exist on the blockchain. Each NFT has its own unique identifier, making it distinguishable from any other token, even if two NFTs appear similar. This uniqueness ensures that NFTs are not interchangeable, unlike cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum), where every unit is identical and holds the same value.

NFTs can represent a wide variety of digital and real-world assets, including but not limited to:

• Digital art
• Photographs
• Game items
• Collectibles
• Event tickets
• Virtual real estate

The ability to tokenize these assets and assign unique identifiers to each one ensures authenticity, ownership, and provenance, making NFTs a powerful tool for creators, collectors, and developers.

How Does the Enjin Blockchain Handle NFTs?

On the Enjin Blockchain, every blockchain asset is generically referred to as a token, regardless of its supply quantity. Here's how Enjin classifies tokens within its ecosystem:

1. Singular Tokens (Quantity = 1):

   • These are one-of-one assets, traditionally referred to as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). These tokens represent completely unique items, such as a specific digital artwork or a rare game item.

2. Multi-Tokens (Quantity > 1):

   • These are tokens that have a supply greater than one. While they may share the same characteristics (such as visuals or metadata) across all instances, each token still carries its own unique ID within the blockchain, ensuring transparency and traceability. These tokens are also referred to as multi-tokens or tokens of multiple quantity/supply.

The Enjin ecosystem's flexible token supply system allows for the creation of both singular unique tokens and collections of tokens with shared attributes, making it ideal for developers, creators, and businesses who want to tokenize their assets.

How Are NFTs Created?

The process of creating NFTs on the blockchain is called minting. Minting involves tokenizing an asset by assigning it a unique identifier and metadata, which is then secured on the blockchain.

With NFT.io, Enjin makes minting NFTs simple and user-friendly. Anyone can create NFTs or multi-tokens on the Enjin Blockchain without requiring deep technical expertise. This streamlined process enables creators to tokenize their assets and bring them into the blockchain ecosystem with ease.

Why Choose Enjin for NFTs?

Enjin's blockchain architecture provides a comprehensive and flexible framework for creating, managing, and trading NFTs. Whether you're creating a one-of-a-kind artwork or a series of game items, the Enjin Blockchain ensures that your assets are secure, scalable, and seamlessly integrated into the broader blockchain ecosystem.
