NFTs operate on blockchain technology. The blockchain is basically one big digital public record. The most popular blockchains are distributed across many nodes (read: people’s computers), which is why you’ll hear them described as “decentralized.”

So instead of a central server owned by the company, the blockchain is distributed through a peer-to-peer network. This not only ensures that the blockchain remains immutable, but also allows node operators to earn money, rather than a single company.
