What is a non-fungible token or “NFT”? A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can be used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files. Access to any copy of the original file, however, is not restricted to the Purchaser of the NFT. While copies of these digital items are available for anyone to obtain, NFTs are tracked on blockchains to provide the owner with a proof of ownership that is separate from copyright. TAEX Ecosystem uses NFT’s or other blockchains tokens of ERC1155 standard and smart contracts that are published to the Ethereum blockchain. The platform is blockchain-agnostic and does not preclude the use of other blockchains in the future. The smart contracts are self- executing, meaning that when the parties use the smart contracts, the code of the contract will automatically collect and transfer payments and deliver the Work of Art. The smart contract will automatically record to, and track on, the Blockchain the ownership, sale and transfer of Work of Art and related Token that represents the Work of Art. - NFTs do not comply with any of the existing legal entities in the laws of any country. - NFTs are not things from the point of view of law, because they are not the subject of the material world and exist only in the virtual world. - NFTs are not a kind of digital currency (cryptocurrency), because, although they are tokens, they do not perform a payment function. Their function is to store a unique code that characterizes the owner of the NFT as the person who has the right to a digital work corresponding to this unique code. - Digital rights in NFT are always individually defined. 4.
