What is the future of NFTs? What are some use cases for NFTs now? What even is an NFT? Let’s dive in and answer all of these questions together.
Before we dive into the future of NFTs, let’s first define what a fungible and non-fungible token is.
The 3 main identifiers for NFTs or non-fungible tokens are:
• Not interchangeable
• Unique
• Non-divisible
The 3 main identifiers for fungible tokens are:
• Interchangeable
• Uniform aka not unique (they are all the same identifier)
• Divisible

Some common examples of NFTs are Cryptokitties or crypto domain like .eth or .crypto. Common examples of fungible tokens are BTC, ETH, or LTC. More common examples of something fungible would be like gold or diamonds in how they would be valued generally the same anywhere you go, at least officially.
You will always find fungible and non-fungible tokens on many other protocols too like ENJ or WAX. Most of the tokens I deal with and NFTs are on Ethereum. Fungible tokens there are listed as ERC20 tokens and NFTs follow the ERC721 standard. What’s most interesting is the potential use cases we will see in the future. I think a lot of video game assets like skins and other things you can earn will become NFTs and allow you to trade them with other players using smart contracts. We will also see supply chain tracking, copyright, and so many more use cases evolving over the next few years.
The future of NFTs is endless. Let’s talk about some novel use cases being used today and then some potential future use cases.
Use Cases Today:
• Digital art
• Tokenizing an asset - painting
• Digital rights and monetization - Taylor Bennett song
• Collectibles
• Real estate
• NFT Staking
• Domains
Future Use Cases:
• Secondary market for gaming with tokenized items
• Healthcare records
• KYC identity management
• And so much more.
