Request Funds to Alias/NFT wallet
Alias and NFT addresses play a significant role in decentralized systems, particularly in managing and identifying various assets. Unlike traditional addresses associated with specific user accounts, those addresses are specifically assigned to Alias and NFT outputs. These outputs have their own unique addresses, enabling them to hold their respective base tokens or any other native assets. This means that you could transfer ownership of all the assets controlled by the such an address by transferring its output.
