How NFT tokens may change trading in Metaverse world

Non-Fungible Token have a chance to dominate the exchange of value between creators and consumers. Already today, NFT are used in the sale of works of art and entertainment. But software developers, for example, are also starting to use them more and more. The phenomenon we are dealing with today, i.e. NFT tokens - and which arouses a lot of emotions, wonders many of us - is nothing new in principle.

Usually located on the back of the artwork. The price of such graphics depended, of course, on the number and the total number of graphics. NFT and the Metaverse?
