Accepted Answer

Answer

PFP stands for Profile Picture — a category of NFT art (like CryptoPunks and Bored Apes) specifically designed to be used as social media avatars.

Question 4

What is 'on-chain' art as opposed to 'off-chain' art in NFTs?

Accepted Answer

Art where the actual image data is stored directly on the blockchain vs. art where only a link to external storage is on-chain

Answer

On-chain art stores the actual artwork data directly in the blockchain, making it permanent and not dependent on external servers that could go offline.

Question 5

What is a 'cold wallet' and why might an NFT art collector use one?

Accepted Answer

An offline hardware device for storing private keys, offering maximum security for valuable NFTs

Answer

A cold wallet is an offline hardware device (like Ledger or Trezor) that keeps private keys off the internet, dramatically reducing hack risk for high-value NFTs.
