If you’re familiar with NFTs, you know that they are among the hottest commodities in the world right now. An NFT (non-fungible token) is basically a piece of content stored on a digital ledger.
One Atlanta tech startup has taken the technology one step further with the launch of a first-of-its-kind motion capture NFT.
