For better URLs, the content folder has been renamed 'docs' and all other files have been moved up a level. Also, non-docs images have been moved to the static folder at the top level where they belong. Many relative paths had to be fixed to make this work.

# Non-Fungible Tokens
|
|
|
|
The XRP Ledger natively supports non-fungible tokens (NFTs, or “nifties” in the vernacular). Non-fungible tokens serve to encode ownership of unique physical, non-physical, or purely digital goods, such as works of art or in-game items.
|
|
|
|
_(Added by the [NonFungibleTokensV1_1 amendment][].)_
|
|
|
|
To represent digital assets similar to these, use the XRP Ledger's Non-Fungible Tokens feature (sometimes referred to by its standards draft number, [XLS-20](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/discussions/46)).

## NFTs on the XRP Ledger
|
|
|
|
On the XRP Ledger, an NFT is represented as a [NFToken][] object. An NFT is a unique, indivisible unit that is not used for payments. Users can mint (create), hold, buy, sell, and burn (destroy) NFTs.
|
|
|
|
The ledger stores up to 32 NFTs owned by the same account in a single [NFTokenPage object][] to save space. As a result, the owner's [reserve requirement](../../accounts/reserves.md) for NFTs only increases when the ledger needs to make a new page to store additional tokens.
|
|
|
|
Accounts can also name a _Broker_ or an _Authorized Minter_ who can sell or mint NFTs on their behalf.
|
|
|
|
NFTs have several immutable settings that are defined when the token is minted. These include:
|
|
|
|
- Identifying data that uniquely defines the token.
|
|
- Whether the issuer can burn the token, regardless of who currently holds it.
|
|
- Whether the holder of the token can transfer it to others. (An NFT can always be sent to or from the issuer directly.)
|
|
- If transfers are allowed, the issuer can charge a transfer fee as a percentage of the sale price.
|
|
- Whether the holder can sell the NFT for [fungible token](../fungible-tokens/index.md) amounts, or only for XRP.
|
|
|
|
## NFT Lifecycle
|
|
|
|
Anyone can create a new NFT using the [NFTokenMint transaction][]. The NFT lives on the [NFTokenPage object][] of the issuing account. Either the owner or an interested party can send a [NFTokenCreateOffer transaction][] to propose buying or selling the NFT; the ledger tracks the proposed transfer as a [NFTokenOffer object][], and deletes the `NFTokenOffer` when either side accepts or cancels the offer. If the NFT is transferable, it can be traded multiple times between accounts.
|
|
|
|
You can destroy an NFT you own using the [NFTokenBurn transaction][]. If the issuer minted the token with the `tfBurnable` flag enabled, the issuer can also burn the token, regardless of the current owner. (This could be useful, for example, for a token that represents a ticket to an event that is used up at some point.)
