Beginner’s Course on NFT and Blockchain

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are the latest cryptocurrency phenomenon to go mainstream. And after Christie's auction house sold the first-ever NFT artwork — a collage of images by digital artist Beeple for a whopping $69.3 million — NFTs have suddenly captured the world's attention. Not to mention our local artist Namewee the rapper launched 99 NFTs of the song on marketplace platform OpenSea.
