An non-fungible token (NFT) is essentially a blockchain record that points to a digital resource. The point being made in this fairly technical post is that "your NFT should point at a thing, not point at a location." What that means, in practice, is that the record shouldn't point to a URL or an internet address, because these can (and often do) change. Instead, it should reference the digital hash of the resource, a content-based address produced using a cryptographic algorithm. Such resources can be uploaded and stored using a distributed network such as the interplanetary file system (IPFS). Via Boris Mann.
