Sunny Leone headed to Twitter to make an announcement on Tuesday and told her fans and followers that she had stepped into the NFT (non-fungible token) space. The actor has now begun to mint her NFTs, which means her digital art has now become part of the Ethereum blockchain, a ledger that cannot be tampered with.
