Platforms such as OpenSea and Rarible shake things up by cutting out middlemen, allowing creators to turn digital assets into NFTs on the blockchain. Smart contracts take care of ownership, pricing, royalties, and safe peer-to-peer transactions. This setup guarantees transparency, worldwide reach, and automatic income through things like resale royalties. These platforms give artists the power to manage distribution, verify authenticity, and make money without relying on centralized authorities.
