At Artega, we use the Polygon network to publish NFTs, but if you're new to crypto, you might be wondering what that means. Here's a plain-language explanation.
What is an NFT?
An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unique digital item that can be owned, bought, and sold, just like a physical painting or a collectible. NFTs prove ownership of digital art, music, tickets, and more, all recorded securely on a blockchain. On Artega, the NFT serves as your proof of agreement - a record that a transaction took place.
What is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a special kind of database that securely records transactions. Think of it like a public ledger that anyone can check, but no one can change.
Why are we using Polygon?
Polygon is a blockchain network that makes transactions faster, cheaper, and more eco-friendly than using Ethereum alone. This means:
Lower fees per transaction
Faster transactions (no long wait times)
A more sustainable way to publish NFTs
