10 Ways NFTs Go Beyond Digital Art – Proving Product Authenticity

NFT,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT In the most recent installment in our series on use cases for NFTs, we looked at the exciting world of gaming. Today, we’ll examine how NFTs can prove that rare Patek Philippes that you purchased is actually what you bought, rather than a knock-off.  Because the blockchain can store all kinds of information about a product, including details about the manufacturing process, who owed the item before, and so forth, you'll trust that what you are purchasing is exactly what you believe it to be.

10 Ways NFTs Go Beyond Digital Art – Medical Records Security

NFT, ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT In yesterday’s article in this series, we saw how NFTs can help to track art ownership.

NFTs In Games Must Take Gamers Into Account

NFT, , ,
Ellen Britt for CNT #NFT Although there has been a frenzy of positive adoption of all things NFT from industries as diverse as music, fashion, sports and even food companies, the adoption of NFTs into the video gaming industry has not been the initial smooth road some had predicted. Most people thought gamers would be early adopters of NFTs, as they are computer and tech-savvy, and are already used to spending money within games to purchase such items as skins, tools, weapons of war, and other things to make their gaming experience more enjoyable. Hey!
