NFT stands for non-fungible token\u2014\u201dnon-fungible\u201d refers to something that\u2019s unique by definition that can\u2019t be replaced with something else. In the world of physical assets, you can think of things like an original piece of fine art or a one-of-a-kind baseball card. NFTs allow creators to apply the same type of value to digital assets by using blockchain technology to attach a unique ownership opportunity to the work.<\/p>\n<p>Since every NFT is a unique token on the blockchain, when buyers purchase an asset like a piece of digital art or a trading card, they gain instant, verifiable ownership of the asset. NFTs then work like any other speculative asset: You can buy an NFT and then sell and trade your assets as the market value fluctuates.<\/p>\n<h2>Gaming in an NFT-based economy<\/h2>\n<p>Online gaming is where some of the most exciting applications of NFT ownership are happening now. By having players purchase NFT game components as the building blocks for entry, the game evolves from a simple crafting game to an opportunity to participate in a competitive economy. You\u2019re not only buying component packs to optimize your combination of seed, soil, water, and grow setup resources to unlock the dankest strains, you\u2019re also making decisions based on the investment potential of your assets in the Cryptobuds economy.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/lifestyle\/how-mila-kunis-got-stoner-cats-made-with-nfts\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\" rel=\" nofollow\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>How Mila Kunis got \u2018Stoner Cats\u2019 made with NFTs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Plus, if Cryptobuds sounds tailor-made to be your next obsession, the NFT-based design gives players the opportunity to buy in and back a game they\u2019re happy to see in the world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" alt=\"Cryptobuds\" class=\"wp-image-182436 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/this-nft-crafting-game-lets-you-build-your-own-digital-weed-empire-2.png,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/this-nft-crafting-game-lets-you-build-your-own-digital-weed-empire-2.png,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/this-nft-crafting-game-lets-you-build-your-own-digital-weed-empire-2.png,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/this-nft-crafting-game-lets-you-build-your-own-digital-weed-empire-2.png,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>Courtesy of Cryptobuds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Welcome to Cryptobuds<\/h2>\n<p>Your favorite farming game format just got the full stoner treatment in a pretty epic way: Welcome to the world of Cryptobuds.<\/p>\n<p>The initial stoner-Christmas-morning moment happens when you buy your first component pack of resource cards.
