NFT is Collins Dictionary’s word of the year for 2021. NFT is the abbreviation for ‘no-fungible token’. According to We Forum Org, it is a chunk of digital data which records who a piece of digital artwork or a collectible belongs to. Forbes Advisor defined NFT as a digital asset that represents real-world objects like art, music, in-game items and videos.
These NFTs are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency. They are generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptos, added Forbes Advisor.

The first NFT was created on May 3, 2014 by Kevin McCoy, a digital artist. It was named “Quantum”, a pixelated image of an octagon filled with circles, arcs and other shapes. As described by Portion IO, these shapes share the same center, with larger shapes surrounding smaller ones and hypnotically pulsing in fluorescent hues. As of an update last year, the said NFT is worth seven million dollars.
Who can create NFTs? Who can purchase them? The answer is – anyone. No experience is necessary to create one. As for buying – when someone purchases an NFT, they gain the rights to the unique token on the blockchain, connecting their name with the creator’s art.
In the gaming environment, using NFTs grants players ownership of their in-game assets instead of game developers. As per Gemini Cryptopedia, through blockchain technology, gamers can save in-game purchases, sell them to other players or move them into other supported games. Added Mirage Portal – NFT gaming developers create a new kind of game where players will not just keep on spending real money on the games. But instead, it helps players earn money by just playing games.
Sounds fun! And worthy of your time. Because based on your gaming skills, you can earn money. And speaking of profit, here are some of the best play to earn NFT games in Asia:
