Visa launches its NFT collection for Qatar 2022

The growing popularity of blockchain technology driving the development of new projects based on digital assets as a new trend worldwide.

On this occasion, we tell you about the new NFT collection that Visa launched for Qatar 2022.

The cutting edge of NFTs

Among the latest trends that are constantly changing, and launching new projects, NFT assets are undoubtedly the first that can be described in the world of technology.

Nowadays, the non-fungible characteristics of NFTs have taken a big boost for the development of new projects, as they propose a new business model whose financial operations are similar to cryptocurrencies.

NFTs maintain a close relationship with cryptocurrencies, as both are based on the use of blockchain technology to carry out transactions.

An NFT is a digital asset, whose value is established in relation to the market capitalization. NFT stands for non-fungible token, which means that these assets are based on a single element that cannot be duplicated.

A clear example of an NFT asset can be a work of art. In the world there is only one original and concrete work, while the others are just imitations. NFT assets ensure the originality of the digital form of a work, whether it be art, music, multimeday, among others.

How NFTs work

At the end of the year 2020 and the beginning of 2021, the use of NFTs has taken a great boost within the digital world, as a new type of asset whose appeal is thanks to the functionalities of the information technology. Blockchain.

In this sense, to understand why NFTs are so popular, it is first necessary to understand what non-expendable assets are.

Currently, there are expendable goods and non-expendable goods. Fungible goods are oriented to those that can be exchanged, whose value is based on their number, measure or weight. On the other hand, non-fungible assets are those that cannot be duplicated.

We can give an example when seeing a work of art, this would be a non-fungible object since its equivalent is not equivalent to the value of another work, but remains with its own value.

Non-fungible are generally based on the standard blockchain of Ethereum, being one of the most popular and easy-to-operate chains for purchases and sales. However, today the implementation of NFT assets has spread to other popular blockchains.

Why choose NFT assets?

Today there is a long list of reasons why NFT assets are so popular in the market. One of the main ones is the relationship they have with the implementation of the features of Blockchain for security, transparency and cost reduction per transaction.

Among other characteristics of NFTs we can name:

-Authenticity

NFT assets are unique, thanks to the use of their metadata and smart contract, users are able to ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of each of the assets.

-Indivisible

Another popular feature of NFTs is that these assets cannot be divided. Users can only buy a complete unit of an asset, unlike cryptocurrencies, with which you can buy a small part according to the exchange rate of the day.

-Exclusiveness

Assets in NFT are not popular only for their security features, but also because they are unique, scarce and rare.. These assets can only be registered once within a blockchain network, so it is impossible to register the same asset again.
