Golden Finance reported that the People's Daily published an article on page 09 last Friday, "Future Industry Outlook (People's Observation)", which pointed out that at present, the global metaverse industry is accelerating its evolution, and NFT is crucial. It is a unique and non-interchangeable data unit that can represent the ownership of related digital assets (such as images, music or videos), and is therefore used as a digital property certificate. In the metaverse, NFT can represent various assets in the digital world, such as digital items, online characters, avatar designs, digital appearances, etc. Every property right and currency transaction involving NFT is fully recorded in the blockchain smart contract, which helps prevent moral hazard and information asymmetry.
