A summary of 7 NFT projects worth paying attention to recently
Author: Cookie, BlockBeats
Ephemera
Erin Redwing (@realizingerin), host of the Bitcoin podcast "Hell Money," which also features Casey Rodarmor, the founder of the Ordinals protocol, has jokingly been referred to as "Ordinals Mommy."
Ephemera is Erin Redwing's new series. From the artistic image presentation, it is a dynamic, interactive 3D time recording instrument. Ephemera views Bitcoin from a new perspective—a decentralized clock. It decouples the new currency of this generation as a timing method (imagine an alien civilization visiting Earth thousands or tens of thousands of years later and digging up a Bitcoin full node?) from the centralized Gregorian calendar timing method, combining it with the decentralized timing method of nature—astronomical timing.
The screen of the Ephemera timing instrument will display corresponding planetary ephemeris data, lunar phases, and solar phases based on the mining date of the satoshis it records. At the start of each Bitcoin block difficulty adjustment (approximately every two weeks), 16 Ephemera showing different dates will be available for bidding. Bidders can choose their preferred dates to bid on, and at the end of the Bitcoin block difficulty adjustment, the 16 Ephemera instruments corresponding to the highest bids will be sent to the successful bidders.
We cannot imagine how we will rise, fall, or even perish, but we believe in the eternity of Bitcoin and hope to leave a trace of our existence.
Airhead
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and one of the prominent figures in the crypto space, directly tweeted about the project (@AirheadFun).
So why? Because behind this project is the Bitcoin wallet Oyl Wallet, in which Arthur Hayes has also invested.
The project is a 3D PFP series with a total supply of 10,000, and the official Twitter's operational style tends to provoke discussions and excitement within the community. From one of the tweets, it is highly likely that this will not be a Free Mint series. Therefore, despite its significant backing, we still need to observe whether the final minting price is reasonable.
honzomomo
Although UniSat's Bitcoin native scaling solution Fractal is not expected to officially launch until September, the testnet has already attracted a large number of participants from both domestic and international users, claiming no testing rewards.
honzomomo (@honzomomo), as the first NFT series on Fractal, will launch in September, and its official Twitter has already begun operations. Given the popularity of Fractal, we should keep an eye on this project.
Terpolly
TerpLayer is a Bitcoin infrastructure project that covers a variety of areas, including stablecoins, oracles, and cross-chain solutions.
Terpolly (@TerpollyBTC) is an NFT series launched by this project, with a total supply of 3,333. Compared to the previously introduced Scribbles by 0xVM, the current empowerment details have not been revealed, so it is temporarily categorized as a PFP. However, if there are any token airdrop-related empowerments in the future, it would not be surprising, as its official Twitter description mentions "empowered birds."
OctoGlyphs
These cute pixel octopuses (@OctoGlyphs) are not only etched on Block 9 satoshis but are also "rune inscriptions." They have etched a total of 10,000 runes at an average rate of 25 runes per block across 400 blocks, containing adorable pixel octopus images and maintaining alignment and neatness with a single parent inscription.
In the future, each OctoGlyphs holder will also be able to claim 88,888 of the runes they issue.
Although the artistic style easily evokes thoughts of Node Monkeys, and shortly after the runes went live, players spontaneously created a series of images by assigning one image to each rune ticker, OctoGlyphs currently has the most complete overall narrative, and a reasonable pricing could give this project a chance to perform well.
Inscribed Fakes
The Ordinals Pepe-themed PFP project Inscribed Pepes has collaborated with Fake Rares to launch an art collection, with over 20 artists participating in its creation. Rumors suggest that Jack Butcher and "the father of BOME" @Darkfarms1 will also join. Considering that Fake Rares founder @ScrillaVentura is also an OG-level Rare Pepe creator, I wouldn't be too surprised if this rumor turns out to be true.
This series (@inscribedfakes) currently does not have a specific minting date, but from the image above, we can see that they mentioned an Ordinals event to be held in Nashville (which is not the same event attended by Trump; it is organized by the Ordinals community itself), and more details are expected to be disclosed at that time.
Moon Zero
At first glance, it appears to be a Japanese anime-style PFP project (@MoonZeroHQ), but in essence, it claims to build a Web3 IP, anime, and gaming accelerator. Based on previous experiences, its empowerment will likely lean towards providing whitelist opportunities for collaborative projects within a large community ecosystem.
Behind it is The Parallax, a Web3 media company founded by Patrick Dang. Patrick Dang started his sales career at Oracle and later became a teacher, training over 50,000 students on how to sell.
As he said, many Web3 projects are confused about how to better market themselves. Given that he is a successful salesperson, I have included this project. Buddy, can you negotiate a reasonable price with Luca Netz?
