Casual social gaming metaverse enables creators to reinvent themselves on blockchain

With the introduction of nonfungible tokens (NFTs), content creators can monetize their digital works by attaching value to creative work and posting them for sale on a specified marketplace. Creators then maintain complete control of their work while also receiving incentives to continue developing content. For this reason, NFTs have quickly become recognized as an ideal solution for content creators.
