Burgers aren’t fungible tokens.

To celebrate a major milestone, White Castle teamed up with Doodle Labs Corp. to create a series of NFTs. Che-Yu Wu, a celebrated media artist, created the collection, which is described as "generative art."

NFTs, otherwise known as non-fungible tokens, are a form of digital data that people have been exchanging for money. Each NFT is a unique digital file that is associated with a blockchain. NFTs can be associated with any sort of digital information, such as a picture file, audio or even video file.
