#Intro
The market is nearing the finish line again, and many are discussing the start of a ‘crypto rally.’ What does this mean for ordinary users? It means the opportunity to earn and explore new projects that may potentially bring profits. But how do you distinguish what holds value from what doesn’t?
In this article, I offer you a look at several NFTs that hold genuine value and will continue to do so, unlike most mere ‘pictures’ whose value amounts to nothing.
So let’s dive in!
#Trends in 2024
As I wrote, the main focus will be on trends that provide value to NFTs, namely those that will have the following criteria:
- Value (buyback functions, etc.);
- Support from major influencers and trusted personalities (company founders);
- Real-world asset backing (real estate, Rolex watches, etc.) legally.
Of course, this doesn’t guarantee that a project won’t shut down, be hacked, etc. But it will help you at least preserve, and ideally grow, your assets.
The legal aspect, akin to ETFs, will become the next trend in NFTs, and some are already conducting this through public auction houses. After this, many NFTs will inevitably transition into the realm of collections and “blue chips,” opening up access to the mass market and wider investor acceptance of NFTs
#Projects worth putting on your radar
#Heart of Gold (HoG)
Heart of Gold (HoG) is a unique new project in the world of NFTs that combines blockchain technology with art and collectibles. HoG is a digital collection of unique and exclusive one-of-a-kind items — HoG NFTs.\
One of the important aspects of HoG is the use of the “deus ex machina” concept. It is a term borrowed from theatrical and literary tradition that means “god ex machina.” This allows users to make a “cashback” or buyback; by purchasing an NFT, the user automatically participates in the lottery and is guaranteed a 2/5/100 return on the amount of purchased NFTs.
The project may fall into the category of “blue chips” and have the potential for widespread adoption among investors.
#Blast Pingues
The Blast Penguins NFT project is an innovative initiative within the BLAST L2 blockchain ecosystem, combining community engagement with technological advancement. It goes beyond traditional NFT ventures by featuring a meticulously planned roadmap that includes community development, testnet activities, deployment of NFT smart contracts on the mainnet, and the creation of PengSwap DEX along with the $PENG token.
This initiative aims to create a sustainable and interactive blockchain environment, offering valuable learning opportunities for blockchain developers and enthusiasts alike. Deploying NFT smart contracts and building PengSwap DEX and $PENG token require intricate steps, providing advanced insights into blockchain development and deployment processes.\
Because there is already a token on this Dex, these NFTs can become an additional stimulator of the site’s growth and the rate will depend on the success of the project as a whole.
#Solmap
Open Solmap introduces a groundbreaking concept in the blockchain realm by offering digital real estate on the Solana blockchain. Each plot, consisting of 1,000 transaction slots, is customizable and visually represented. This initiative allows plot owners to develop their digital properties freely. Additionally, the project prioritizes community engagement and governance, directing mint proceeds to a multi-sig wallet managed by key community members to ensure transparency and collaborative fund allocation decisions.
This collection is made by analogy with Bitmap and contains part of the “map” of Solana. The project was supported by MagicEden and Solana and has the potential to be adopted by the community. The meaning is based on and related to the Solana project itself.
#DN404 Standard
The DN404 Standard represents an innovative standard in the world of NFTs, defining fundamental principles and requirements for creating and managing digital assets. This standard ensures transparency, security, and interoperability within the NFT ecosystem, fostering the development and expansion of opportunities for artists, collectors, and developers. The DN404 Standard aims to standardize metadata, manage property rights, and introduce innovative features such as multi-platform compatibility and cross-chain operations. This standard opens up new avenues for creating and exchanging unique digital assets in a secure and transparent environment.
These new standards were one of the topics of the closed ETH Denver discussions; those who quickly understand this new standard will be able to earn a lot of money. At the moment, new mechanics for launching NFTs on them are being tested.
#Conclusion
In conclusion, it’s essential to emphasize that the insights provided in this article are not financial advice. Rather, they serve as a guide to highlight emerging trends worth considering in the NFT space. As with any investment or decision-making process, conducting thorough research and due diligence (DYOR) is crucial. The landscape of NFTs is dynamic and ever-evolving, presenting both opportunities and risks.
Remember, the key to success lies in informed decision-making and a cautious approach. Wish you success and profit!
