Metaverse
The metaverse is a digital environment made up of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and blockchain.
It’s a virtual world, almost like a video game that impersonates the real world.
NFT
NFTs are digital certificates made using Blockchain technology and they represent ownership of unique items.
The proof of ownership is stored in Blockchain and is highly secure, and the record of ownership cannot be modified.
