What is NFT?
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided, that is recorded in a blockchain, and that is used to certify authenticity and ownership.[1] The ownership of an NFT is recorded in the blockchain and can be transferred by the owner, allowing NFTs to be sold and traded. NFTs can be created by anybody, and require few or no coding skills to create.[2] NFTs typically contain references to digital files such as photos, videos, and audio. Because NFTs are uniquely identifiable assets, they differ from cryptocurrencies, which are fungible.
Proponents of NFTs claim that NFTs provide a public certificate of authenticity or proof of ownership, but the legal rights conveyed by an NFT can be uncertain. The ownership of an NFT as defined by the blockchain has no inherent legal meaning and does not necessarily grant copyright, intellectual property rights, or other legal rights over its associated digital file. An NFT does not restrict the sharing or copying of its associated digital file and does not prevent the creation of NFTs that reference identical files.
The NFT market grew dramatically from 2020 to 2021: the trading of NFTs in 2021 increased to more than $17 billion, up by 21,000% over 2020's total of $82 million.[3] NFTs have been used as speculative investments and they have drawn increasing criticism for the energy cost and carbon footprint associated with validating blockchain transactions as well as their frequent use in art scams.[4] The NFT market has also been compared to an economic bubble or a Ponzi scheme.[5] In 2022, the NFT market suffered a major collapse, with prices sharply falling; a May 2022 estimate was that the number of sales was down over 90% compared to its 2021 peak.[6]

In this section, we check annually what has changed in the minting and sales of nfts. As you can see, Mint NFTs started in 2016 and their volume was very small. In 2021, the amount of Mint NFTs reached 17B dollars, which was the largest volume of Mint NFTs in these years. But the number of NFT mints has reached its highest value in 2022, equal to 28.5 million mints.
The largest volume and number of NFT sales was recorded in 2022, which was equivalent to 50.9 billion dollars.
In this pie chart, we have shown how the distribution of sold NFTs was based on price. 42% and the highest percentage of sales were related to tokens with a price of 100-1000 dollars. 41% related to NFTs that were less than $100.
In this section, we have examined in detail the number of transactions, the number of users, tokens and NFT projects in 2022 in two situations, mint and sale.
The number of all these parameters in minting has been more than selling NFT. For example, 19m users have sold their NFTs and 28.5m users have minted them.
But the overall volume and average sales have been higher than the volume of minting. Therefore, it is true that the number of users and minting transactions was higher, but the sales volume was higher than minting volume.
This shows that most of the users were willing to mint.
You can also see the percentage of the number of projects and tokens sold compared to Mint. which shows that there are more mined projects than sold projects and tokens.
