What is the process behind NFT operations?

Hey everyone, I’ve recently become intrigued by NFTs and I’m trying to fully understand how they function. In particular, I’m wondering if new NFTs are introduced on a regular schedule—perhaps annually—or if buyers can only acquire tokens that are already in circulation. I find it confusing to determine whether there is a recurring release of fresh NFTs or if the market only deals with existing ones. Any detailed explanation about the timing, availability, and purchasing process involved in NFT releases would be greatly appreciated!

hey nina, ive been diving into this world of NFTs lately too and its super intriguing how varied the process can be. essentially, the creation of new NFTs is all about smart contracts on the blockchain – this sets the terms for token creation, ownership, and even how many tokens can exist. some artists or projects plan drops for new tokens at specific times (which might be daily, monthly, or even at random intervals), while others release all tokens at once with no new ones ever coming in. so in some cases buyers are going after freshly minted art, and in other cases they’re trying to snag an existing token from a limited supply. its really interesting to see how some tokens are constantly evolving while others become fixed collectibles. what do you think about the balance between having scheduled drops versus letting the market decide on rarity and value? ever come across a project that particularly caught your eye with its release strategy?
