###aNFT: Tokens that take care of financial transactions themselves
Autonomous NFTs, or aNFTs, are tokens that can independently perform certain operations, be it conducting transactions or distributing profits. Now NFTs mint and sell themselves. Standalone NFTs are a technology in the non-fungible token segment. With the help of smart contracts, aNFTs can autonomously perform operations without user intervention. This could be initiating a trade, distributing profits, or minting new NFTs.
aNFTs can be programmed to do specific things. For example, a trader can set a price at which a token will sell itself.
A standalone NFT can serve as a stock. It can be tied to a real asset and it can be specified what payments and under what conditions it will make.
While aNFTs require programming knowledge to create. The smart contract for an autonomous token can be written in Solidity or another language. You can place an autonomous non-fungible token on Ethereum, Solana or another blockchain.
Solana also has another useful technology - cNFTs, or compressed NFTs. Thanks to Solana compression, millions of tokens can be minted in a few SOLs.
