DEEP dive into NFTs.

Lets look up our president!

First we will need somewhere to send a query for the asset, (AlgoExplorer)[https://algoexplorer.io/] has that ablity and allows us search the Algorand blockchain.

~~Just in case you are techincally inclined or just interested here is a link to API(Ways to send queries): (https://algoexplorer.io/api-dev/indexer-v2)[https://algoexplorer.io/api-dev/indexer-v2]~~

Next we will simply look up the this NFT by its asset id, the unique identifier. Algor

  • created-at-round - Ignore this not really that import but a way to define when this asset was created
  • deleted - As nothing is removed from the blockchain, this is just a way to mark it as deleted
  • index - The asset id, the unique indentifier
  • clawback - The wallet address that can take back the asset, in this case this wallet address means no one
  • creator - The wallet address that created the asset
  • decimals - Can someone own a fraction of this asset, this could be use if the the asset is going to be used as a token like ALGR instance or for a fractional NTF, where "pieces" of the NFT could be owned by multiple people
  • default-frozen - Is this asset frozen, meaning it can not be sold through marketplaces etc, it can still be transfered
  • freeze - the wallet address that can freeze this asset, in this case this wallet address means no one
