What is the future of NFTs? What are some use cases for NFTs now? What even is an NFT? Let鈥檚 dive in and answer all of these questions together.
Before we dive into the future of NFTs, let鈥檚 first define what a fungible and non-fungible token is.
The 3 main identifiers for NFTs or non-fungible tokens are:
路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Not interchangeable
路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Unique
路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Non-divisible
The 3 main identifiers for fungible tokens are:
路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Interchangeable
路聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Uniform aka not unique (they are all the same identifier)

Some common examples of NFTs are Cryptokitties or crypto domain like .eth or .crypto. Common examples of fungible tokens are BTC, ETH, or LTC. More common examples of something fungible would be like gold or diamonds in how they would be valued generally the same anywhere you go, at least officially.

You will always find fungible and non-fungible tokens on many other protocols too like ENJ or WAX. Most of the tokens I deal with and NFTs are on Ethereum. Fungible tokens there are listed as ERC20 tokens and NFTs follow the ERC721 standard. What鈥檚 most interesting is the potential use cases we will see in the future. I think a lot of video game assets like skins and other things you can earn will become NFTs and allow you to trade them with other players using smart contracts. We will also see supply chain tracking, copyright, and so many more use cases evolving over the next few years.
