READ: NFT history, what they are and what they mean for Electroneum and AnyTask
As explained in the press release announcing the launch of Electroman, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are relatively new in the crypto and blockchain space. Still, they are rapidly gaining traction, particularly among gamers. Cryptokitties, one of the world's first blockchain games with over 1.5 million users, is credited with taking NFTs to the mainstream three years ago.
NFTs are the digital version of traditional trading cards, such as the very popular baseball and football players' cards that in mint condition are worth up to $200,000. The difference is NFTs exist only on the blockchain.

"Unlike traditional collectible trading cards, items created on the blockchain (such as NFTs) provide important benefits," said the co-founder of Blockchain Heroes Joel Comm. "These advantages include transparent sales and trading history, immutable ownership records, provable scarcity, and unique minting identification numbers with each card."
There are many other exciting developments that Electroneum has plans to announce strategically. Presently, the entire team is focused on improving the feel and look of Electroneum products and their associated user journeys to be the best in the industry.
