The 10 Best GM Memes of All Time
Twitter engagement goes a long way in Web3. Considering those within the NFT community spend a significant amount (let’s just call it 99 percent) of their time greeting, Tweeting, or otherwise interacting with each other via the Elon-owned app, few aspects of the metaverse have become as important as the general camaraderie shared by those within it. Yet, when it comes to seasoned adages of the blockchain, the “LFG” and “WAGMI” battle cries of old pale in comparison to a well-crafted and masterfully timed “GM.” Having surpassed even the common NFT vernacular, GM, in 2023, has been elevated to Web3 […]
5 Unique NFT Use Cases That Will Dominate 2023
A lot has changed in the NFT space over the past year. While in 2021, nonfungible tokens absolutely exploded, in 2022, Web3 saw the maturation of the NFT space fast-tracked thanks to a bear market. Sure, artists still found ways to sustain themselves, and NFT collectors evolved into prominent Web3 builders, but the wild west that was the NFT market cooled off significantly. Of course, this isn’t a bad thing. Far from it, in fact. While numerous investors and influencers quickly became quiet when the million-dollar profits stopped coming in, the NFT space as a whole was propelled forward. Collectibles and […]

Anime PFPs: 6 Stunning NFT Projects Bringing a New Generation to Web3
For as long as users have set their own PFPs on community sites, one type of imagery has dominated the space — the anime PFP. From the 90s to the mid-2000s, Western anime fans were primarily interested in hits like Dragon Ball Z, which appeared on Cartoon Network’s Toonami programming block, and Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim. As a result, anime PFPs used during this era tended to feature characters from these specific shows. Seeing the likes of Goku, Vegeta, or Spike Spiegel in a profile picture was common. Unsurprisingly, back then, avatars tended to look rather similar. Since that […]
NFTs Live Forever: From Apollo 11 Artifacts to the Arch of Peace
When you store something on a blockchain — whether it’s a meme coin, a Goblin NFT, or even government documents — it will remain there forever, etched upon the blockchain’s ledger. It won’t be disturbed or modified, and, barring a worldwide apocalypse, it won’t be forgotten. This last bit is essential. Although an ISIS supporter may have previously experimented with the immutable properties of blockchain technology as a way to keep hateful propaganda online forever, this is very much the exception and not the rule. As such, multiple projects have propped up over the years to leverage this core feature […]
The Top Music NFT Moments of All Time
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic effectively cut musicians off from all of their primary sources of income. Live shows ended, merchandise sales slowed to a crawl, and the money stopped coming in. The months dragged on, and things didn’t get better. But then a new kind of music art came onto the scene, and in 2021 the inevitable occurred — the music industry embraced non-fungible tokens (NFTs). We say this move was inevitable with good reason. Artists, especially independent musicians, were more than eager to find alternate revenue streams. What’s more, the music industry is — and always has been […]
12 Unique Ways BAYC Holders Are Monetizing Their NFTs
In just over a year, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) became one of, if not the biggest brand in all of NFTs. Seen as one of the largest money makers in the NFT ecosystem, throughout most of 2022 it was nearly impossible to purchase an original BAYC NFT for less than six figures. Yet, it may (or may not) come as a surprise to some that buying BAYC NFTs low and selling high isn’t necessarily the only way to profit from the ecosystem. We’re not talking about companion collections or social tokens though, but rather profiting from the use […]
5 NFT Projects on Tezos You Need To Know About
Looking to dive further into the NFT space? You can start by straying off the virtual beaten path and exploring projects hosted on blockchains besides the monolithic Ethereum network. One such blockchain that’s worth looking into is Tezos. Built by Kathleen and Arthur Breitman in 2017, this blockchain sets itself apart from its contemporaries in a few notable ways. Firstly, it’s capable of evolving and self-amending, which enables programs hosted on it to scale themselves up relatively quickly and reliably. Perhaps more importantly, though, Tezos is also renowned in NFT circles due to how it runs on a Proof-of-Stake consensus […]
