Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)
What are NFTs?
NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are unique digital assets created on the blockchain. They can represent a wide range of items, including gaming items, digital art, sports collectibles, and real-world assets. Each NFT is distinct, emphasizing the “non-fungible” nature of the token.
Characteristics of NFTs
- Ownership: NFTs provide true ownership, ensuring that no one can take them away from the holder.
- Utility: They can be utilized in various applications, including apps, games, websites, and even in real-world scenarios.
- Real-World Value: NFTs created with Enjin are backed by ENJ, a cryptocurrency, giving them tangible value.
- Trading Fees: Creators can earn a portion of the fees whenever their NFT is sold.
- Rarity: Each NFT is unique, emphasizing its rarity and distinctiveness.
- Blockchain: NFTs are stored on a decentralized ledger known as the blockchain.

Migration to Efinity
Enjin’s transition from the Ethereum blockchain to its proprietary Efinity platform is a monumental step in its journey.
-
Reason for Migration: The move to Efinity is driven by the need for faster transactions, reduced fees, and enhanced NFT functionalities that the Enjin Blockchain promises.
-
Token Migration: The ENJ token will transition from an ERC-20 token on Ethereum to the Enjin Blockchain. This migration is a 1:1 swap. Additionally, Efinity Tokens (EFI) will be exchanged for ENJ at a 4:1 ratio. The ERC-20 tokens will be sent to a burn address, making them inaccessible post-migration.
-
Migration Process: Enjin has provided comprehensive FAQs and guides to facilitate the migration. Users can use the Enjin Wallet for this process, ensuring they have the latest version of the app. The migration, once started, is expected to complete within 24 hours.
-
Efinity Integration: Efinity’s Matrixchain will be integrated into the Enjin Matrixchain. All data from Efinity will be inherited, with Substrate EFI automatically converted to native ENJ. Post-integration, Efinity will stop producing blocks, leading to a unified chain for Enjin.
