    Hrm… not really, no.

    That is, there can be scenarios where they are useful as “You cannot trivially recreate this hash code” systems, but… we can already do that without the massive overhead of a blockchain and the PITA of keeping a ledger in check.

    Or, as always: There is no application for NFTs which cannot be done faster, easier and better by just using a completely normal database.

      and if you want the immutability of the blockchain (which is not a good design btw, what if fraud or mistake happens that needs correcting?), you can literally just use a insert-only database, meaning no updates.
