NFT’s are essentially a Non Fungible Token, that is blockchain certified, unique and verifiable digital asset. Used to represent a finite number of items – such as collector editions of stickers and trading cards, medals, stamps, photos, videos, jpegs, audio, and other types of digital files.

The new Hibs Fan Token is being developed in the coming weeks and we hope to be able to share news on this and upcoming NFT’s in the near future.
