Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said earlier this week that the company is exploring the possibility of using non-fungible token technology (NFT) on the social network.
According to Mosseri, in the near future, the social network will start making notes on publications that offer users to purchase collectible NFT tokens.
NFT tokens are unique and not divisible. Such tokens are used to confirm ownership of an object; they cannot be replaced without the consent of the owner.
