Everything you need to know about ‘The Simpsons’ NFTs

Simpsons Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) are digital assets that represent internet collectibles from the cartoon series with an authentic certificate created by blockchain technology.

In 2021, Disney partnered with digital marketplace VeVe and launched The Simpsons NFTs in gold as part of their Disney Golden Moments theme. The first of these NFTs featured The Simpsons characters Homer and Bart strangling each other. The other Simpson NFT from the collection was Bart’s skateboard which had an imprint of the character’s skull and crossbones on the underside of the board.

In 2021, a “Homer Pepe” NFT sold for over $320,000. It was a digital artwork created by merging Simpsons icon Homer Simpson with meme sensation Pepe The Frog. Interestingly, seller Peter Kell had bought the collectible for $38,500. After making a huge profit from the sale, he had said, “This is an absolutely crazy event in the NFT world. I have definitely learned the value of digital art. More proof that NFTs are the real deal and will be a big part of how art is sold in the future.”

Blockchain technology, which the NFTs work with, is a technique for recording information that guarantees its security and accuracy. It prevents or makes it challenging to change, trick or compromise the system. Essentially, a blockchain is a digital record of transactions that is distributed and duplicated across a network or computer systems using blockchain technology.

Digital collections of Alex Ferguson, Aamir Khan, Kamala Harris, Karim Benzema, Iron Man, Hellboy, Daffy Duck, Captain America, Captain jack Sparrow, Bill Gates, Hitman, Joker, Lady Gaga, Lionel Messi etc. have been created.

NFTs including The Simpsons, can be bought and sold through digital wallets that allow one’s NFTs and cryptocurrencies to be stored. The cryptocurrencies can be purchased from platforms such as OpenSea, Coinbase, Kraken, PayPal, etc. However, Internet users and fans must note that one NFT cannot be directly exchanged for another NFT.
