Frequently Asked Questions

A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is "the one and only digital data that cannot be replaced" and is like a digital certificate of authenticity.
NFTs use blockchain technology that can prevent fraud and tampering, and can prove "if it is genuine" and "who it belongs to".

A wallet is something similar to an actual wallet that keeps track of the crypto currency needed to purchase NFTs. ANIFTY only supports MetaMask.

The wallet address is like an "address" for the blockchain and is generated automatically.

Ethereum is a decentralized application platform with smart contract functionality (technology that can be set up to automate transactions, transfers, etc.).
The currency used on Ethereum is called ETH (Ether).

A gas fee is a fee incurred during transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, such as purchasing an NFT, rewriting data, deleting data, and at various other times.

A gas fee always fluctuates depending on the time of day and network congestion.
