NFTs introduced a new way for digital creators to sell their work directly to collectors. But one of their most talked-about features goes beyond the initial sale: NFT royalties.

NFTs became widely recognized through digital artwork, collectibles, and high-profile sales. For many people, the term still brings to mind expensive profile pictures and speculative trading. However, the underlying technology can represent much more than digital art.

Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency are two of the most influential technologies shaping the digital economy. AI is changing how software analyzes information, creates content, automates decisions, and interacts with people, while blockchain technology offers decentralized networks for transferring value, verifying ownership, coordinating participants, and recording data.
