Former first lady Melania Trump launches her own NFT endeavor

Former first lady Melania Trump used an interesting hashtag on Twitter this week: #MelaniaNFT. NFT – or non-fungible token – is a unique proof of ownership over digital assets, including art and video clips. And Mrs. Trump is breaking into the blockchain technology space with her own NFT venture.

"I am proud to announce my new NFT endeavor, which embodies my passion for the arts, and will support my ongoing commitment to children through my Be Best initiative," she said in a statement. "Through this new technology-based platform, we will provide children computer science skills, including programming and software development, to thrive after they age out of the foster community."

An NFT is a one-of-a-kind piece of code, stored and protected on a shared public exchange that proves you own a digital creation.
