Non-fungible tokens are either the future of art and a revolution in the entire concept of ownership or an environmentally harmful fad ripe for derision, depending on whom you ask. But NFTs have made a mark, with tens of billions of dollars in transactions, corporations jumping on the ever-growing bandwagon, and a word of the year award. While whether or not this is a good thing is debatable, NFTs are, for better or worse, only getting started, according to the many artists, producers, and developers we spoke with. That suggests that both the NFT-related highs and lows of 2021 will be destroyed in the coming year. What that shattering looks like is still a mystery, but if insiders are to be believed, NFTs will be even more difficult to ignore in 2022.
While non-fungible tokens have been around since 2014, CryptoPunks and CryptoKitties from 2017 are more representatives of the current trend. While some initiatives contain art, such as pixelated “punks” and kitten paintings, an NFT is more than the art or object with which it is related. Instead, a non-fungible token is often “a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain that includes some metadata in it,” according to Lee Azzarello, a former Ethereum intelligent contract security assessor and artist, in March of 2021. That metadata, which could be as short as a few lines of text, describes or otherwise refers to the related work or item.
Over the years, there have been many incredible and unique art pieces in great demand in the market. Talking about high-demand NFT, it is impossible not to speak about Moondusa. Moondusa NFT, a Versace-inspired line of medusa head NFTs, recently sold out in under an hour. The collection of 8,888 randomly generated NFTs took over the industry during its launch. Moondusa NFTs are the product of two very creative and imaginative entrepreneurs who collaborated with Self33, an excellent well-known artist. Justin Secreti and Corey Allen, the two co-founders, have been long-time friends and business partners, while Self33 has made ripples throughout the music industry with his creativity, albums, and ability to push and promote artists and projects. Self33 has made waves throughout the music industry with his creativity, albums, and ability to move and encourage artists and projects.
One of the owners of Moondusa NFT is Justin Secreti, a 29-year-old serial entrepreneur living in New York; unlike any other person, he desired to be self-sufficient and successful, so he quit his 9-to-5 job to follow his dream of becoming a great businessman. Justin has started his fifth business in the last 24 months due to his hard work and dedication. Aside from becoming a successful businessman, he has dedicated his life to assisting others in the beginning and growing their businesses, believing that teaching others is the best way to learn. He is this successful because of the hard effort and dedication to his work. Secreti, however, was determined to conquer the digital world after dominating the business world, and with the help of his friend Corey, he planned to create an art piece and sell it as an NFT. Unfortunately, they had many problems at first and had to work for more than 20 hours a day to decide on the design and colors so that the project would appeal to the public.
However, many people still ask what NFTs are used for? Artists and content creators have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to monetize their work thanks to blockchain technology and NFTs. Artists, for example, no longer have to sell their work through galleries or auction houses. Instead, the artist can sell it as an NFT straight to the consumer, allowing them to keep a more significant portion of the profit. Additionally, artists can integrate royalties into their software to receive a share of sales when their work is sold to a new owner. This is a desirable feature because most artists do not receive subsequent proceeds after their first sale. Making money using NFTs isn’t limited to art. Companies like Charmin and Taco Bell have auctioned off themed NFT art to raise money for charity. Taco Bell’s NFT art sold out in minutes, with the highest bids coming in at 1.5 wrapped ether (WETH)—equal to $3,723.83 at writing. Charmin’s offering was dubbed “NFTP” (non-fungible toilet paper), and Taco Bell’s NFT art sold out in minutes, with the highest bids coming in at 1.5 wrapped ether (WETH)—equal to $3,723.83 at the time of writing.
Another question that is asked is how to buy an NFT? To begin, you’ll need a digital wallet that can hold both NFTs and cryptocurrencies. Then, depending on what currencies your NFT provider takes, you’ll probably need to buy some cryptocurrency, such as Ether. Coinbase, Kraken, eToro, and even PayPal and Robinhood now allow you to purchase cryptocurrency with a credit card. After that, you’ll be able to transfer it from the exchange to your preferred wallet. When researching your alternatives, keep fees in mind. Most businesses charge at least a portion of your transaction when acquiring crypto.

If 2021 was when the general public began to notice non-fungible tokens, experts predict that 2022 will be the year that the world will be unable to look away. What exactly does that imply? That means more and more brand involvement, according to Alex Salnikov, co-founder and head of product at the NFT marketplace Rarible. Non-fungible tokens are both a commercial and cultural force. Skeptics only need to look to celebrities like Jay Z and Steph Curry’s Twitter profile pictures to see how NFTs have already been adopted as digital avatars. But, for the most part, NFTs have been thought of as static digital objects — tokens that represent works of art or digital goods that are transferred back and forth for seemingly ever-increasing sums of money. However, if industry insiders are believed, that won’t be the case for much longer.
