An NFT is a unique type of token that cannot be replicated, which in turn gives each token intrinsic value and exclusivity. NFTs have become an important selling point for blockchain games, with F1 Delta Time recently auctioning its first NFT – the ‘1-1-1’ – which is a unique racing car to use in the game.
The F1 Delta Time team announced the news on Twitter, stating:
“1-1-1 is now GONE at 415.9 Eth with an expected new challenger in the game. Phew… where’s the safety car for all this? Congratulations to the winner!”
