NFT news | Ethereum NFT market relay, Token + chain games become the absolute main line

Read this article in 17 Minutes

This article grasps the latest status of the Ethereum NFT market. What projects are worth paying attention to?

Over the past week, Ethereum NFTs have been booming, forming a second wave of market growth following the first wave of recovery from late October to early November. Compared to the first wave of recovery, art-related NFTs were relatively weak in the second wave, with chain games and NFT projects with token expectations becoming the absolute main trend.

Although art-related NFTs did not receive much attention in last week's market, Jack Butcher's "Trademark" series saw a 4x increase, demonstrating the appeal of this new leading crypto artist. What's even more interesting is that on November 25th, Jack Butcher changed his Twitter profile picture to "Glass Punk" by @piv_piv, which instantly brought a 30x increase to "Glass Punk". Currently, Jack Butcher has changed his Twitter profile picture and the floor price of "Glass Punk" has dropped from a high of 0.09 ETH to 0.04 ETH.

Aside from Jack Butcher, the second phase of the "consumer-grade art" leader Anomaly A.I is about to begin, and the project also gained nearly a 2x increase last week.

Simply put, after discussing art, let's now delve into last week's market analysis of tokens and NFTs in the blockchain gaming industry.

Everyone's favorite is still Token

A number of projects with expected tokens experienced a major surge last week. Among them, The Grapes, BlockGames, and YogaPetz received the most attention.

The Grapes has seen an 8x increase in the past 30 days, and a 2x increase last week. At its peak, the floor price was just one step away from 4 ETH. The project was launched in May of this year with a minting price of only 0.039 ETH. In just six months, "Grapes" has matured with a hundredfold increase, and its token $GRAPE is about to be released.

"Pu Tao" seems like an ordinary PFP, but it has been used in games and animations, and is backed by Animoca. The concept of Animoca is actually a hidden mainline, and there will be many Animoca-related projects mentioned when introducing blockchain game stars in the future. Due to the recent outstanding performance of Animoca-related projects, optimistic foreigners have already called Animoca the next Yuga Labs.

BlockGames is a Web3 gaming platform that plans to airdrop its token $BLOCK in the first quarter of next year. If you are a reader who has been supporting the "NFT News" column, you must have an impression of this project. This project was almost ruined by OpenSea's bug during its launch, but it successfully overcame the crisis with textbook-level public relations. As a Free Mint project, BlockGames has been incredibly successful. Last week, its NFT series "BlockGames Dice" reached a floor price of nearly 0.9 ETH and gained nearly 5 times the increase.

YogaPetz is more dramatic compared to The Grapes and BlockGames. In September of this year, YogaPetz achieved nearly 9000 sales with 0.2 ETH, but quickly plummeted. The project team had promised a refund, but later claimed that adjustments to the NFT market's royalty policy made it impossible to generate enough royalty income to sustain operations and canceled the refund.

Last week, project founder Keungz announced again that you can get a refund by sending back the NFT to me, and I will send you 0.2 ETH. At the time of his announcement, the floor price of YogaPetz had already exceeded 0.5 ETH...

Take a look at the most common reaction emoji below the announcement, which is "clown"...

YogaPetz came very close to a floor price of 1 ETH during last week's peak, and has seen nearly a 10x increase in the past 30 days. This project has many similarities in gameplay and planning to Memeland, and its token $PRANA is claimed by the project team to be launched earlier than originally planned and listed on a CEX.

The above three star projects have actually experienced some pullbacks. In addition to them, I have also selected four other projects that have performed well and are still relatively stable. Everyone can observe more.

First is the "Polygon flagship" Pluto Misfits, which was the only NFT project outside of the Ethereum mainnet that received attention and achieved good gains last week. The largest increase last week exceeded 2 times. (Recommended reading: NFT transaction volume exceeds 1.2 billion US dollars, will Polygon repeat the NFT boom on Solana?) Some English-speaking KOLs have tweeted their attention.

Pluto Misfits has announced that they will issue their own Token, with plans to do so in the first quarter of next year. The project is backed by Polygon Ventures.

Seekers of Paragon, this is the first PFP project that aims to create an NFT marketplace and gamified discovery platform. After the Free Mint on November 16th, it briefly surged to 0.04 ETH before falling back to 0.01 ETH. However, last week, the project regained momentum and saw a 7x increase in value. Players are looking forward to more potential connections between the project and the platform token $PGON.

Balthazar raW Pass, the pass for the GameFi project Wallet Wars built on zkSync, backed by Animoca. The project was already one of the stars among Animoca's projects in the first wave of the market at the beginning of the month, with a maximum increase of about 7 times. It is clear that there will be Token $BZR, but there is currently no detailed plan or timeline.

FUTR One By Mintify, the PFP series of professional NFT trading platform Mintify, gained nearly 2 times increase in value last week. Mintify recently announced that this PFP series will also receive the platform token $ME airdrop. The platform maintains a good relationship with the Alpha community and some foreigners, and its functionality is closely following the needs of Degen and hot projects. Currently, its influence is mainly in the English-speaking community.

Token's expected market performance relies more on the influence of the English-speaking community. In the upcoming blockchain gaming sector, both the Chinese-speaking and English-speaking communities have their own stars, and there are even projects from the Chinese-speaking community that have an impact on the English-speaking community.

Chain games enter a new era?

Personally, I think the most impressive player in the blockchain gaming sector last week was Matr1x. During the week, Matr1x's PFP series Matr1x 2061 rose by 50%, breaking the floor price of 3 ETH, with a cumulative increase of nearly three times in the past 30 days.

Matr1x's FPS mobile game, Matr1x FIRE, completed a very successful round of testing not long ago. In addition to the game's high quality, the Token's expectations were also an important factor in this round's success. With a good market performance, Matr1x is about to launch a new NFT series, Matr1x KUKU, which is highly sought after. I have seen people in various group chats buying guaranteed white at a price of 1000U.

At the same time, I also noticed that the rise of Matr1x and the expectation of Token have attracted attention from the English-speaking community, which is very impressive.

Another highly popular game in the Chinese-speaking community is "Web3 Diablo" SERAPH. SERAPH launched a new round of testing last week, presenting highly completed and high-quality game content. On November 19th, SERAPH released 3,000 game equipment boxes at a price of 0.06 ETH. After selling out, the floor price once rose sharply, breaking through 0.4 ETH and achieving more than 6 times the increase. Moreover, many players who want to experience the game quickly even purchased test activation codes outside the market.

In the English-speaking world, I have not seen projects with such high heat as Matr1x and SERAPH, and the previous market leader Parallel Avatars only maintained stability last week without further breakthroughs. Nevertheless, there are still some projects that have performed well.

AI Arena, a fighting arena game that trains NFT AI for battles, with a new and innovative theme and backed by Paradigm. Its Mint Pass has gained a 2x increase. (Recommended reading: "AI Arena: Paradigm-led NFT AI Arena")
