NFTs on OP_NET

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are unique digital assets that represent ownership or proof of authenticity for items such as art, music, collectibles, and more. On OP_NET, NFTs are implemented using the OP_721 standard, an equivalent to Ethereum's ERC-721. By leveraging Bitcoin’s robust security and OP_NET's advanced features, OP_721 enables the creation and management of NFTs directly on Bitcoin.
