NFTs
Applications that stuck
The most interesting NFTs today rarely call themselves NFTs. Tickets, memberships, registries and certificates all use the same technology.
Access and tickets
A ticket as a token makes the whole chain auditable, and resale rules can live in the contract.
Memberships work the same way: a transferable token granting access.
For visitors the benefit is fraud resistance — a copied QR does not work when the registry knows the owner.
Ownership of digital and physical things
In games, tokens represent items you own rather than license — provided the game is good.
On-chain domains and identity profiles use the same standard.
In tokenised assets the unique token is the ownership record backed by legal documentation.
Certificates and provenance
Diplomas and authenticity certificates are classic forgery targets; an issuer-minted token is verifiable in seconds.
In luxury goods and art the same records provenance — more valuable to insurers than to speculators.
The limit stays the same: the chain proves what was recorded, not that it was true when recorded.

Frequently asked questions
Why is it rarely called an NFT now?
The word carries speculative baggage; the technology is unchanged.
Do I need a wallet for a tokenised ticket?
Often not — the provider can custody keys with an export option.
How does this differ from tokenisation?
Tokenisation often uses divisible tokens; an NFT is the unique record.
