不可替代代币（NFT）最近引起了相当大的关注，其中一件数字艺术品在2021年初以6900万美元的价格售出。虽然他们才刚刚开始接受传统媒体的报道和不经意的观察者的兴趣，但NFT技术的基础可以追溯到20世纪70年代末计算机科学的进步。在本文中，我们将从技术起源、区块链技术的引入以及第一批基于代币的收藏品（导致现代NFT产品）等方面研究NFT的出现。我们对NFT的当前用例进行了分类，介绍了它们未来的潜在应用，并强调了管理人员在将其纳入现有工作流程时所面临的挑战。通过介绍我们的NFT采用框架，我们为管理者提供了评估NFT风险和收益的策略。
Nonfungible tokens (NFTs) have recently drawn considerable attention, highlighted by a digital art piece that sold for $69M USD in early 2021. Though they have only just started receiving coverage by traditional media outlets and interest from casual observers, the foundations of NFT technology date back to advances in computer science in the late 1970s. In this article, we examine the emergence of NFTs, from their technical origins, the introduction of blockchain technologies and the first token-based collectibles that led to modern day NFT products. We categorize the current use cases for NFTs, introduce their potential future applications, and highlight the challenges managers face in incorporating them into their existing workflows. By presenting our NFT adoption framework, we offer managers strategies for evaluating the risks and benefits of NFTs.
