What are NFTs called PFP? Explanation for newbies!

The world of NFTs is growing more and more with new features emerging. Even more, it is the uses that are changing. Thus, NFTs called "PFP" mean NFTs that serve as a profile picture on social networks.

So, PFP means “Profile for Picture” for the English expression. Basically, understand that these are avatars. Particular avatars because they are NFTs.

This is perhaps a phenomenon that you have been able to observe on Twitter for example. It is indeed the “fashion” currently to display the NFT that one has just purchased.

Why are they doing this?

Well, on the one hand it’s a way to stand out from others. Even more, it is also a way of showing support for this or that project. Influencers will then be able to draw attention to their latest purchase.

The first NFTs used as PFPs were the cryptopunks. Since then, this has continued to be confirmed.
