                   BLOCKCHAIN








              t  seems  like  everyone  is  excited  about  a  new
              technological  breakthrough known  as  NFTs  (non-
           Ifungible tokens). We will look at the rapid growth of
            NFTs in such a short space of time in this chapter. It is

            to stealing, copying, or producing fakes are removed

            Blockchain  technology  is  a  digitally  distributed,
            decentralized computer network that uses a method of
            recording  information  that  makes  changing,  hacking,
            or  manipulating  the  system  impossible  or  difficult.  A
            blockchain  is  a  distributed  ledger  that  duplicates  and
