Alongside yield farming<\/a> in the DeFi space, one of the hottest trends in the crypto industry has become non-fungible tokens (NFTs).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Assets with rather subjective, and at times dubious, value trade on a number of platforms. Prices of some tokens run into millions of dollars. In February, meme GIF Nyan Cat sold for 300 ETH<\/a> (~$568,000 at the rate at the time), and in March the token of the artist under the pseudonym Beeple was bought for almost $70 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The trend drew in many famous figures, among them Elon Musk. On March 15, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX posted<\/a> a techno track about non-fungible tokens on his Twitter, saying he would put it up for sale. Beeple offered $69 million for Musk’s NFT.<\/p>\n

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey put up for sale<\/a> his first tweet. The bid for the NFT reached $2.5 million<\/a>. Subsequently the tweet was sold for $2.91 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Experts’ opinions on NFTs are far from unanimous. Some are convinced of the short-term nature of the phenomenon, while others call the current hype \u201ca game for the smart and wealthy\u201d<\/a>. In any case the phenomenon is highly interesting and has already made a splash well beyond the community.<\/p>\n

We have worked out how to create, acquire and sell NFTs \u2014 and answered the fundamental questions.<\/p>\n
