NFTs are digital collectibles that can be owned and traded. The acronym "NFT" stands for non-fungible token, and they can come in the form of anything from digital trading cards to digital art. There are even NFTs that act like certificates of authenticity for physical items.
You can carry and display these collectible items inside your wallet. There are even some websites that give you special features or access if you connect your wallet to prove ownership of a specific type of item.
