NFTs Explained

So What is an NFT?

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. That sounds fancy, but here’s what it really means:
 

  • Non-fungible = one-of-a-kind. It’s unique and can’t be swapped for something identical.

  • Token = a digital certificate that proves you own something online.
     

So, an NFT is like a digital collectible - a special item you own on the internet. It could be a piece of art, a music clip, a video, a game item, or even a tweet. It’s stored on something called a blockchain, which is like a super secure online record book. In the case of Brave Blixxies, the NFT is a collectable piece of art.

But Why Do People Want to Own an NFT?

Here are some simple reasons why people decide to own an NFT:
 

  • Ownership: You can say, “This digital thing is mine,” and prove it.

  • Collecting: Like collecting rare coins or trading cards, but online.

  • Supporting Artists: Buying NFTs helps creators earn money directly.

  • Investment: Some hope the NFT will become more valuable over time.

  • Access & Perks: Some NFTs come with extras—like VIP event invites or special content.

  • Identity: People use NFTs to show off their style or interests, like a cool profile picture.
     

It’s kind of like owning a signed poster from your favourite band—but digital. Others can see it, but only you have the original, verified version.

So What Are PFP NFTs?

PFP NFT stands for Profile Picture Non-Fungible Token.
 

  • It’s a digital image (like a cartoon, drawing, or artwork) that people use as their profile picture online - especially on social media or in web3 communities.

  • Each one is unique and stored on the blockchain, which means you can prove you own it.
     

Think of it like owning a rare digital avatar that shows off your style or identity. The Brave Blixxies NFT collection is classed as a 'PFP NFT collection'

Here are a few easy-to-understand reasons why PFP NFTs are desirable:
 

  • Online Identity: It’s a way to stand out and show who you are in digital spaces.

  • Community: Many PFP NFTs come with access to exclusive groups or events.

  • Collectibility: People enjoy collecting rare or cool-looking avatars.

  • Status Symbol: Some PFP NFTs are expensive or famous, so owning one can be a flex.

  • Support Artists: Buying one helps support the creators behind the artwork.
     

Popular examples include cartoon animals, pixel art characters, or futuristic portraits. Some collections have thousands of different versions, each with its own look and traits.
