Abstract: The big bang of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has caused the birth of a brand new era for digital art. NFTs, driven by blockchain and smart contracts, provide both artists and art collectors an unprecedented marketplace which is equipped with more security, flexibility, publicity, and freedom to monetize. Unlike the conventional art market, NFT art market trades works of art in rapid succession and has no sluggish business cycle. Yet, the emergence of such a market has been considered to be packed with speculation and economic uncertainty.
