Garner predicts that by 2026, non-fungible token (NFT) gamification will propel an enterprise into the top 10 highest-valued companies. By 2024, 50% of publicly listed companies will have some sort of NFT underpinning their brand and/or digital ecosystem presence. Are you ready to manage the NFT storm?
Learn more about blockchain and Non-Fungible Token (NFT) in this two-part event sponsored by Hyperledger Foundation and Morgan State University, co-developed and presented by Chainyard.
