Let’s begin with a simple definition and meaning of NFTs. WHAT IS A NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN (NFT)? To understand Non-Fungible Token well, you need to understand a Fungible Token first. To put it in simple terms: If a 100 rupee note were swapped for five 20 rupee notes, it would still have the same value, which makes the note fungible (replaceable).

 The following article will provide you with a comprehensive grasp of how blockchain could help Web 3.0 grow. But before that, let’s go through the basics of WEB 3.0 and Blockchain Technology. HISTORY OF WEB? People could construct read-only text threads on Web 1.0, which was simply a bulletin board.

Web 2.0 also brought search engines that enabled non-technical people to do keyword searches for information. Although this was a positive step forward, keyword searches do not always yield relevant results. If a 2.0 user looks for information about a Camaro insect, for example, the search engine results pages (SERPs) are likely to include information about the Chevrolet Camaro automobile. Web3 search engines, on the other hand, will evaluate a user’s history data ...
