What is an NFT?

NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token representing a digital
file/item. A token is an object built on the Blockchain, non fungible means unique. Any digital file can be turned into an NFT, such as music, art, and sports. NFT’s allow for a creator to create and sell their work independently without the need for a manager , client or institution. A creator will receive a percentage of their product sold within the secondary market if their product is sold on.

What is the Metaverse?

The Metaverse is a virtual twin of our physical world, it is also the total amount of all the digital assets that live on the web and on the blockchain, creating a digital ecosystem. The Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space, including the sum of all virtual worlds, augmented reality, NFTs and the Internet.

What will the future of Jersey look like as a community in the metaverse?

1. Diverse, Inclusive, Intelligent
   1. I think the future of Jersey in the metaverse will be more inclusive as a community
   1. I think the future of Jersey will be a lot more diverse and inclusive within the metaverse. This is because class and social status are completely irrelevant in the metaverse, therefore everyone is free to be who they want to be without judgement or restriction. I think the metaverse will be a safer place for younger generations because the rates of oppression such as racism and sexism will be lower as everyone in the metaverse would be equal.
