Doesn’t require NFTs, but NFTs could solve the problem of digital trading in untrustworthy markets - like game codes and event tickets. (Introduce other problems too, like getting hijacked by people who are overexcited at the thought of fractionalised links to jpgs…).

Does it really solve for digital trading in untrustworthy markets though? How would the smart contract verify that the event ticket or game code was legitimate? If it was up to the buyer, they could just lie.

I'm not sure I understand the question - the ticket would be on the blockchain and therefore easily verifiable.
