Can you own a digital painting without losing its original quality?

Imagine you buy a digital artwork online. You want to keep it safe and prove it's yours, even if you give it away or sell it.

NFTs are like a special digital certificate that says you own a unique piece of digital art. It's a way to show it's yours and not a copy.

Example

You buy a digital painting, get an NFT for it, and later sell it. The new owner gets a new NFT, but the painting itself is the same.

Remember this

NFTs prove you own a unique digital asset, even if you sell it.
