Q: What is NFC Tag?

${color}[#000000](What is NFC?) NFC stands for Near Field Communication. Like Bluetooth and WiFi, it's a wireless radio communications standard. In the wireless world, NFC's closest relative — really its parent — is actually RFID (radio frequency identification). Retailers and parcel shipping companies in particular love RFID as a way to keep tabs on inventory supplies and shipments. You may also have an RFID-enabled identification badge that you tap when you get to work or probably have used to access the door of a Hotel Room. NFC works like RFID, but only for up-close-and-personal use. Whereas RFID can be used from a distance, NFC readers work at a maximum range of about 4 inches (10 centimeters). NFC readers aren't suitable for RFID-style inventory tracking; their range is too short. So NFC tags are used for other applications where the ability to quickly exchange a few bits of digitized information comes in handy. How NFC Tags Work You can call them smart tags, info tags, or, in this case, NFC tags, but their basic architecture is similar to RFID tags. They both have a bit of storage memory, along with a radio chip attached to an antenna. The only real difference is that NFC tags are formatted to be used with NFC systems. And they're small enough and cheap enough to integrate into all sorts of products: posters promoting circus tour dates, ski lift passes, stickers, business cards, prescription bottles, and even ruggedized labels meant for outdoor use. *

Question 1

RtistiQ registers verified data and related transactions on the block-chain, which are publicly verifiable and immutable to offer maximum security on the information shared. The blockchain data acts as a digitized form of the Certificate of Authenticity.
Artworks registered through RtistiQ offers the security of Authenticity verification and Provenance history, which otherwise require specialized verification due to lack of proper records.
Every Artwork is physically tagged with a non-intrusive, tamper-proof, secure NFC sticker, linking the physical artwork to the digital version. It acts as an additional layer of security to confirm originality of the Artwork.
The sticker can be scanned by any NFC enabled Mobile to confirm the details, and also opens up the Artwork details if the RtistiQ APP is installed in the mobile.

Question 5

What is NFT?

Accepted Answer

NFTs or non-fungible token is unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, a digital ledger. Traditionally Blockchains have been associated with Cryptocurrencies or Utility Tokens, which are interchangeable in nature, i.e., they can be replaced one for the other as they have the same characteristics and value. With the coming of NFTs, there is a massive extension to the Blockchain utility to associate real-world assets over the blockchain.

To understand NFTs, we need to understand what fungibility means

Fungibility or Interchangeable

The term may appear complicated, but it can be very well associated with real-world scenarios and everyday lives. At its basic level, fungibility means something that can be interchanged or exchanged 1 for 1 with another item with the same classification or properties. Each fungible unit is essentially the same so that it can be exchanged.

In addition to interchangeability, fungible goods or assets are divisible and can support addition/ subtraction /division without changing the fundamental nature of the item.

Non-Fungibility or Unique & Identifiable

Things that are not directly interchangeable or replaceable are known as non-fungible. Unlike fungible assets like Currency, Crypto-currency, Show Tickets, etc… non-fungible items are characterized by their Uniqueness, Verifiable Identity, Scarcity, and Indivisibility.

Differences in appearance, rarity, utility and many other properties directly affect a unit
