Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have set off a boom in digital art, games and other fields due to their uniqueness and scarcity. However, the high price and complete ownership model limit the participation of ordinary investors. The emergence of split NFTs (Fractional NFTs) allows more people to participate in high-value digital asset investments at a lower cost by splitting a single NFT asset. So, what exactly is a split NFT? How does it work? What changes will it bring to the digital asset market?
A spin-off NFT refers to the division of a complete NFT asset into multiple tradable homogeneous tokens (FTs), each of which represents a partial ownership of the NFT. Unlike traditional NFTs that emphasize the complete rights and interests of a single owner, spin-off NFTs allow investors to hold assets in a fragmented manner, lowering the investment threshold. For example, a million-dollar digital art NFT can be split into 1,000 spin-off NFT tokens. Investors only need to buy a part of the tokens to become the co-owner of the artwork, and enjoy the rights such as asset appreciation and income distribution according to the holding ratio. This model breaks the monopoly of digital asset ownership and allows more people to participate in the investment and collection of high-value NFTs.
Technology Implementation of spin-off NFTs relies on the co-operation of smart contracts and token standards. During the spin-off process, the creator or asset owner divides the ownership of the original NFT through a smart contract and publishes the corresponding number of spin-off NFT tokens based on homogeneous token standards such as ERC-20. The smart contract will record the corresponding equity ratio of each token, the rules of income distribution, and the authority of subsequent transactions in detail, and store this data permanently on the blockchain to ensure transparency and immutability. When spin-off NFT tokens are traded, the smart contract automatically verifies the identities and token balances of both parties to the transaction, and completes the ownership transfer; in the income distribution process, the smart contract will automatically distribute the income generated by the original NFT (such as copyright income, auction premium) proportionally to each holder according to the number of tokens held by the holder.

Split NFTs have shown broad application prospects in many fields. In the digital art market, high-value art NFTs can be split to allow more art enthusiasts and investors to participate, enhancing the liquidity and market activity level of assets; in the game field, after the splitting of rare Game Props or character NFTs, players can obtain part of the rights and interests at a lower cost, and game developers can also obtain more financial support through the publishing of split NFTs; in addition, in real estate, music copyright and other fields, split NFTs can also be used to distribute the digital rights and interests of physical assets in pieces to promote the circulation and value realization of assets. HashKey Exchange follows the development trend of spin-off NFT, actively explores its application in the platform business, and helps customers engage in emerging digital asset investment models. However, when participating in spin-off NFT transactions, investors need to be vigilant of smart contract vulnerabilities, asset valuation fluctuations, market liquidity and other risks, and rationally evaluate the investment value.
