How it works
- Unique token — unlike crypto coins, each NFT is one of a kind.
- Ownership record — the blockchain proves who holds it.
- Use cases — digital art, music, collectibles, game assets.
The hype and the risk
Some creators have earned real income; many buyers have lost money to hype and scams. Treat NFTs as high-risk, not a savings plan, and apply the caution in avoiding scams. They run on crypto; for protecting value against the naira, saving in dollars and the dollar routes are the sober choice.
Protecting value instead?
