12 NFT Projects Changing the NFT Space in 2022

3 min read

Take a detailed look at twelve investment-worthy NFT projects in 2022. Here, I’ve embedded every project’s important information to help make investment decisions.

Thousands of NFTs and hundreds of new NFT projects launch every day, but how do you sort through all the noise to find the most promising NFT startups to follow and possibly invest in?

While talking about investing, I must hint at this popular axiom: Buy Low, Sell High. Well, it’s safe to say that the NFT space predominantly thrives according to this axiom. Celebrities, influencers, digital artists, and game developers have successfully used it to monetize their digital assets and fan bases. The non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are used to purchase and prove ownership of digital assets in a decentralized and secure manner utilizing blockchain since they are non-fungible (not interchangeable and unique).

So, what constitutes an Investment-worthy NFT project?

Well, it’s a combination of the following factors;

  • A Robust Community – A high community involvement is always a positive sign for an NFT initiative. Because it is your passport to enter into an exclusive community, possessing an NFT is far more valuable than owning a JPG in a healthy community.
  • Long-term Utility – NFT ventures that benefit their holders are far more valuable and likely to succeed. For example, take Ethereum Name Service (ENS), a blockchain-equivalent of the traditional domain naming system. You can link your ethereum wallet to a human-readable domain name if you own an ENS domain.
  • Social Presence – A project lacking awareness will have difficulty obtaining investors, which means that social media presence is critical — not simply the number of supporters but also their tone of voice and activity.

Now that we know the basic characteristics of a good NFT project let’s look at some of the NFT projects that possess them.

Twelve NFT Projects for 2022

  1. VeeFriends

Gary Vaynerchuck – a serial entrepreneur and the founder of VeeFriends NFT collection. He founded VeeFriends to realize his dream of creating a community around his artistic and business interests by utilizing NFT technology and smart contract capabilities. Gary mostly focuses on three categorical tokens: Access, Gift, and Admission. Every token holder receives a three-year pass to VeeCon – the first-ever NFT ticketed conference in the world.

  1. Decentraland

Decentraland is one of the space’s most established and mature metaverse projects. It’s also the first fully decentralized virtual environment to use the DAO model. The DAO uses smart contracts to manage activities and events in the virtual world while letting users explore, experience, and create inside MANA’s ecosystem. The Caribbean island nation Barbados set to open the first-ever Metaverse embassy on Decentraland.

  1. Bored Ape Yacht Club

The project’s value has risen in a few months since its release in April 2021, making this collection one of the quickest appreciating collectibles in the business. Owners of these NFTs are given a Yacht Club membership card, which comes with a slew of benefits, including invitations to private digital concerts.

  1. BeyondLife.Club

BeyondLife.Club – an NFT launchpad/project – has launched high-profile celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and Stan Lee’s Chakra NFTs. With technological backing from GuardianLink (the NFT Tech facilitator), BeyondLife.club has exciting projects lined up for 2022. As of now, the project focuses on celebrity-specific projects with plans to widen (its horizons) during Q2 2022.

  1. Art Blocks

The term “generative art” refers to work that was developed in whole or in part with the help of an autonomous system. Art Blocks is a generative art collection NFT platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. These compilations might include various artists, each with their distinct voice and style. To create their art, artists might use multiple materials and tools.

  1. Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity is a trading NFT gaming platform where players acquire, breed, grow, battle, and trade digitized creatures known as Axies. Players earn tokens (to monetize) every fourteen days in this Ethereum-based enterprise. New players must purchase at least three Axies before they can play.

  1. The Sandbox

Individuals can construct, own, and play in a virtual world in the Sandbox, an online metaverse-reality environment. Unusually, this computer-generated environment is constantly created by players/creators and developed by dedicated gamers and coding specialists.

  1. MekaVerse

Mekaverse is a sophisticated collection of 8,888 algorithmically-generated Mekas that draw elements from the Japanese universes (Mecha). Through its roadmap, the MekaVerse team envisions a future in which the MekaVerse is expanded and brought into the real world. Through a partnership with other franchises and projects, a Meka Multiverse will eventually emerge.

  1. CryptoPunks

The 2017-launched CryptoPunks project is (still) relevant in 2022, with punk #5822 (one of only nine alien punks) raking in $23.7million recently. CryptoPunks is an algorithmically-generated collection of 10,000 NFTs, ranging across categories. These punks revolutionized the NFT space. As an NFT admirer, I predict the value of CryptoPunks to remain (as such).

  1. NBA Top Shot

It is an NFT marketplace platform, developed by the Canada-based Dapper Labs, officially licensed by the National Basketball Association (NBA). The makers embed each highlight (of the tournament) into digital assets, which they sell for a considerable profit. When you buy (a pack), those digital assets go straight into your wallet, which you can resell on the marketplace.

  1. Autograph.io

A Tom Brady-owned (the American football player) NFT marketplace project focused on sporting athletes, entertainment, and culture. It will be intriguing to watch this idea unfold due to the support and endorsement of all those involved. Keep a lookout for a swift growth into entertainment and innovative digital/in-person experiences, even though it is currently primarily athletic-focused.

  1. Gas Squad

Gas Squad is a group of 1111 troops created from scratch with hundreds of unique features. Each soldier has been in several gas wars, and he has his extraordinary tale and character. Your mission is to evacuate soldiers, organize a team, and send it to BSC’s safe zone. If you have two or more soldiers, you are automatically entered into regular NFT-art giveaways.

Over To You!

Choosing the best NFT project to invest in in 2022 can be complex. However, first, ensure what you need/require from an NFT project: do you look for a long-term value or just want to show it off? Or else, you wish to base a business model on NFT projects, Umm?!!

  1. It’s a great article with a lot of NFT information. That’s serious, the main reason for people’s desire to own non-fungible tokens is that they represent something unique and are inherently unique as well. However, for you to get a token, someone else has to sell it to you. The deal can certainly be finalized by private communications but that method is neither safe nor secure for both parties.
