Claynosaurz: An Exclusive Look at the Rising Solana Community
Depending on what your Twitter timeline looks like, you may have seen your favorite influencer or trader talking about Claynosaurz, the cute 3D dinosaurs on Solana that are taking the NFT world by storm. Despite the SOL and ETH communities being relatively independent of one another, this project has brought them together, attracting Ethereum enthusiasts to SOL. These days, chain crossovers aren’t rare. Most recently, top Solana projects DeGods and y00ts, have also migrated chains to Ethereum and Polygon, respectively. As NFTs become increasingly chain-agnostic, the boundaries between different blockchain worlds are becoming more blurred and integrated. As a result, users […]
Beanz NFTS: The Ultimate Guide to Azuki’s Trusty Companions
If value was a competition in the NFT world, Azuki’s Beanz would be the perennial winners. While the collection isn’t necessarily the least expensive on the market, it acts as a more affordable entry into the popular Azuki community, offering owners a way to enjoy the project’s premium features at a fraction of the cost. In addition to a holders-only Discord channel in the Azuki server, Beanz holders get access to exclusive merchandise, collectible drops, and utilities within the Azuki metaverse. For many of these reasons, and despite being a relatively new collection, the Beanz Project has become one of […]
Everything You Need to Know About NFTs and Taxes in 2023
Tax season is finally upon us, with April 18 marked as the official due date for U.S. federal individual income tax returns. Sadly, it’s a day that brings confusion for just about everyone. But over the last year, it’s become especially hard for people reporting gains from NFTs. Don’t let the nerves get the best of you, though, because tax professionals have sought to ready themselves (and those in the NFT space) to tackle a broad variety of 2023 crypto tax needs. Hopefully, this year, those making last-ditch Google searches for “NFT tax loopholes” have already found a wealth of […]
Nine Projects Lifting Web3 Beyond the ‘Crypto Bro’ Norm
Unfortunately, the gender imbalance as it was known in Web2 discourse will still be with us in Web3. For the last ten years, the space has largely been pioneered and dominated by individuals who gravitated toward it from the tech and finance sectors, two areas ripe for criticism on gender inequality. However, while NFT critics and Web3 natives often slam the space for its “crypto bro” reputation, the reality is that there are several women and non-binary individual-led NFT communities that are actively working to upend that image. These NFT projects and Web3 collectives are educating women and members of […]
Uncovering Nakamigos: The Origins, Rumors, and What We Know So Far
The Nakamigos NFT project is raising eyebrows in the Web3 community. After coming onto the scene with a March 23 public mint, the collection took only four days to surpass NFT giant Bored Ape Yacht Club in lifetime trades and has done 5,423 ETH (nearly $6 million) in trading volume on the secondary market at the time of writing. The collection’s success arguably rests on two things, neither of which fail to spark interest in Web3 spheres: the proven track record of its founder and the wildly-speculative intrigue of the project’s origin and associations. Here, we take a look at […]
From Novice to Pro: A Guide to Gods Unchained
Like many blockchain games, Gods Unchained aims to revolutionize the video game industry by giving players complete control of their digital assets. In traditional video games, the cards are just something you play with and are owned by the publisher. Not so in Gods Unchained. By turning in-game items into NFTs housed on the Ethereum blockchain, players can trade and sell them on the open market — just like you can with physical cards. Unlike other blockchain-based games, Gods Unchained is led by gaming veteran Chris Clay, who was previously Game Director at Magic: The Gathering Arena. If that’s not […]
An NFT Every Day: A Guide to the Nouns NFT Project, DAO, and Ecosystem
If you’ve been around the NFT space, you’ve likely seen Nouns’ playful pixel art images featuring signature bright colors and simple blocky designs. As time goes on, you’ll definitely see these unique characters more and more frequently. Unlike most NFT projects that have a set number of supply before mint, Nouns is an infinite work of art. One Noun NFT is generated every single day “forever.” As a community-driven brand, Nouns aims to use its open-source IP to empower holders to fund their most ambitious dreams and business ideas with their NFTs as the face of the projects. Nouns are already […]
Valhalla: The NFT Project Promising to Make Web3’s Version of Twitch
Valhalla and its team may have bitten off more than they can chew. The NFT project’s ambitious goals include creating a platform that can rival Twitch. However, despite the enormity of this task, the project has already shown promise. It had a successful mint that quickly sold out, and the project has had more than 23,000 ETH in total sales volume. If that doesn’t sound promising enough, the project was created by Stacked Studios, an LA-based startup with a stated goal of building web3 products to become one of the largest crypto companies in the world. So far, the company […]
Renga NFTs: A Guide to the Collaborative Storytelling PFP Collection
Renga is an NFT project as enigmatic as the “black box” NFTs that started it all off. Since launching in June 2022, the project has done more than 40,000 ETH in volume and has a current floor price of 1.1799 ETH. Despite the lack of a roadmap, little in the way of traditional NFT utility, and a mostly-private artist and founder, the project has maintained a healthy community sentiment, buoyed primarily by what some people call the best PFP art in all of Web3. But what is Renga, and how has it found its success? What is Renga? Renga is […]
ERC-4337: What Ethereum’s Latest Upgrade Means for NFTs
For most of us, NFTs have been our entrée into Web3. However, the process of buying, storing, and securing those NFTs is still relatively complicated for the average person. Moreover, the wallet creation experience — the necessary precursor to any Web3 activity, NFT or otherwise — is a major inhibitor to mass adoption. That’s where ERC-4337 comes in. This new Ethereum upgrade has the potential to make blockchain technology more accessible to non-crypto natives and provide benefits like lost key recovery, no seed phrases, gasless transactions, and more. Let’s explore what ERC-4337 is, why it’s important, and what it might […]
