Have you ever wondered where your NFT lives after you created it? This special place is called a blockchain. Think of a blockchain as a digital house that keeps everything safe, neat, and easy to track.
What Does a Blockchain Do?
A blockchain is like a super-smart notebook that never loses any information. But this notebook is not made of paper, it is stored on computers around the world.
Here are the three main things a blockchain does for NFTs:
1. It Keeps Your NFT Safe with Secret Codes
The blockchain uses something called cryptography. Here is what it means:
- It scrambles information using codes.
- Only the right person with the right key can unlock it.
- It is kind of like your bank card or a secret password.
This keeps your NFT and all its important details safe and private.
2. It Tells You Exactly When Something Happened
The blockchain creates a timestamp every time something happens with your NFT. A timestamp is like a digital clock that tells you:
- The date and time your NFT was made or sold
- This information is recorded down to the exact second it happened
This way, there is proof of when your artwork was created or traded. This helps everyone trust the information.
3. It Records the Whole Story of Your NFT
Every time your NFT is bought, sold, or moved, the blockchain writes it all down. It keeps track of:
- The price
- The payment method
- Who bought it
- And when it all happened
It is like a digital receipt that stays on the blockchain forever, so no one can change the information later.
Why This Information Matters for Artists Like You
As an artist, it is important to know how your art is being shared and protected. The blockchain gives you a way to:
- Prove you created the art
- Track how it moves
- Protect your work with powerful tools
You do not need to be a tech expert to understand it, you just need the right guidance and a willingness to learn!
