The difference here is that the NFT is a limited edition, highlighting the value of authenticity, rarity, and originality,” Shinoda added. We’ve all bought an app we ‘own,’ like Microsoft Word, or a music plugin, or an item in a game. I chose Tezos because it’s a green blockchain, with one of the lowest carbon footprints of any popular chain. “So I designed this release to be an easy ‘first NFT.’ There are multiple blockchains, this release is on Tezos.
