    NFTs first emerged in the cryptocurrency space around 2017 when the Ethereum blockchain introduced the ERC-721 token standard. This allowed for the creation and trading of unique digital assets, paving the way for the NFT boom we see today. The CryptoKitties game, launched in late 2017, played a significant role in popularizing NFTs and showcasing their potential. Since then, NFTs have gained traction in various industries, including art, gaming, and collectibles, with high-profile sales and collaborations attracting mainstream attention.
