The COVID-19 pandemic fundamentally changed our lifestyles and perceptions. It prompted many individuals to delve into the digital realm, marking the first occasion where we were compelled to engage more with virtual environments. With physical gatherings and events on hold, screens became our primary connection to the outside world.
As time passed, many began to appreciate the vast potential of the digital space, leading to a significant rise in interest surrounding cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Among the most intriguing developments capturing the attention of both crypto enthusiasts and the general public are non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
