Let’s talk about non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
At the end of 2017, CryptoKitties caused severe congestion on Ethereum for a time and was one of the best-known early NFT projects.
Honestly, this is something I hadn’t paid attention to before either: check a collection’s contract address before buying an NFT. There are plenty of counterfeit collections, so don’t go by the name and images alone.
NFT transfers and trades on Ethereum require $ETH to pay Gas. Currently, 1940.55.
Understanding how it works can help you avoid some pitfalls, but it can’t replace risk management.
