Represents something unique

The game is based on so-called “non-fungible tokens” (NFT). This is a special type of cryptocurrency that represents something unique – unlike, for example, bitcoin, which is a “fungible token”, which is something that can easily be replaced by a similar unit.

This type of virtual collectible items gained traction at the end of 2017 with Cryptokitties, a blockchain-based game where you can buy, care for and sell different types of virtual cats.
