Uniqueness of NFT
Each NFT has a unique smart contract identifier that acts like a digital fingerprint and provides uniqueness and traceability to digital collectibles. This can add value to digital collectibles by prove the provenance and facilitating a smooth transaction process. According to a report from DappRadar, NFT sales volume reached USD 24.9 billion in 2021, compared to just USD $94.9 million in 2020.
Ir. Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport saiys, “Blockchain technology, with its decentralised, transparent, tamper-proof, and traceable features, has been driving lots of innovative solutions across industries, from finance, healthcare to arts. NFT has become the hottest topic in the art scene recently, but it can also be applied in many other sectors.
“As the key promoter of blockchain technology and ArtTech in Hong Kong, Cyberport is very glad to see a group of passionate professionals establish the NFTAHK to further promote the NFT market in Hong Kong.”
