An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a unique token recorded on a blockchain. 'Fungible' means swappable: one pound coin is as good as another. An NFT is different because each one has its own ID, so no two are the same.
What owning an NFT means
Owning an NFT means your wallet holds that token on the blockchain. It doesn't automatically give you copyright in any image or file linked to it; that depends on the terms the creator sets.
How NFTs are used
NFTs have been used for digital art and collectibles, event tickets, in-game items and memberships, where proving who holds a unique item matters.
