# RMRK

### Intro

RMRK is NFT Standard on Polkadot

"RMRK (pronounced "remark") is a set of rules and standards for interpreting special data. By interpreting this data in a special way, tools can understand information in different ways than an outside observer might.

Kusama is a blockchain without smart contracts. We cannot write logic onto it, so we cannot do things like Polls, NFTs, token sales, or decentralized on-chain applications. But we can put graffiti onto the chain's blocks, and we can write tools that know how to interpret this graffiti.

The **rules** for how to interpret this are called specifications or standards, and RMRK is one such set of rules. RMRK deals with applying rules to *remarks*, which is what we call blockchain graffiti on [Substrate-based blockchains](https://dotleap.com/an-explanation-of-substrate-for-humans/) like Kusama or Polkadot." - RMRK Docs

### Interactions

"The standards currently cover the following basic interactions:

* MINT creates a new collection
* MINTNFT creates a new NFT inside an existing collection
* CONSUME burns an NFT
* CHANGEISSUER changes the owner of the collection, affecting who can issue NFTs
* SEND, BUY are transactional
* LIST is used to list an NFT as for sale on-chain
* MIGRATE (starting with 1.0.0) allows a collection issuer to migrate a collection and its child NFTs to a new standard

Inspect each standard folder to see the specifics about these interactions and how to integrate them." - Specs
