What is NFT
NFT stands for "Non-Fungible Token" and refers to digital data (numerical representation of music, video, or images) that cannot be forged. Unlike analog data such as books and photographs, normal digital data can be easily duplicated. In the fashion industry, too, technology is being used to create a new future in which buying clothes is not just about wearing them.
