Both end users and various companies in recent weeks are entering or becoming part of the growing NFT market. These Non Fungible Tokens are one of the most recent digital goods that we can trade online right now and that so many are talking about.
The truth is that initially it was expected that the popularity and explosion of these elements would be much greater than what is happening right now. With everything and with it there are many who still bet on these virtual currencies and create content to trade with them. We can also get NFT through various entertainment platforms such as games and similar websites.
As we told you, this is something that both end users and companies carry out, although security also plays an important role here. With this, what we want to tell you is that, if you have made the decision to acquire these tokens, later we must also protect them adequately. A clear example of all this is the case that happened with a new series by Seth Green , White Horse Tavern, which is now in danger and could never be produced. All this for the theft of an NFT from a fictional character that he acquired and who was going to star in the series.
However, and after the theft, the aforementioned director has lost the rights to a fictional monkey that was going to be the protagonist of the series starring NFT characters. Apparently the loss occurred through a phishing scam . This only goes to show that we must safely store our tokens of this type so that they are not stolen from us.
Measures to take to store our NFTs safely
As with the rest of the content, both local and online, that we handle on the PC, digital goods known as NFT also need protection. They are still exchange currencies with which we can trade, even digitally, so they can be stolen, as we have seen. Therefore, below, we will see some useful tips that will help you protect these elements.
- Use graphic marks if possible – In some regions such as the UK we have the ability to protect NFTs with our own graphic marks. These can be in the form of a graphic file and make it possible to protect any representation of NFTs.
- Choose reliable digital wallets : many platforms currently offer us the possibility of storing our digital assets. However, it is always advisable to use proposals of this type that are more than recognized and reliable. Coinbase is one of the most popular and used, as is the case with TrustWallet , for example.
- Be wary of potential buyers : As with marketing both digitally and in real life, we must be careful with those buyers with whom we are going to negotiate. This is something that extends to the NFTs we are dealing with right now. Therefore, we must be wary of great offers that may come to us, or analyze that buyer through the opinions of other sellers, if possible.
