Most Popular NFTs: Week of October 26

Social media platform Reddit, known for its role in GameStop stock, now has a similar influence on non-fungible token (NFT) use. Last week, the message board platform revealed that users had created over 3 million Polygon wallets. As a result, secondary market sales of Reddit’s Collectible Avatars NFTs have increased by 800% in the past week. Spooky Season is the latest NFT sale with Reddit users and leads our list of NFTs of the week.

Spooky season

Spooky Season is a new collection of avatars created by Reddit user Poieeeye, as part of the social media platform’s transition to NFTs and avatars. Spooky Season has been a huge hit among users of the message boards, selling nearly 1,500 avatars for $1.4 million with a base price of 0.17 ETH ($260). Secondary market sales for Reddit’s Collectible Avatars are up 800% in the past week.

Reddit’s new digital collectibles have been a revelation with the platform bringing in millions of users looking to customize their avatars. Twitter and Meta Platforms both tried to get user support for NFTs, but it looks like Reddit may have found the right combination for social media and Web3.

Noun

Noun is an Ethereum-based collection that also targets an avatar theme. The collection saw sales increase by 488% in the last 7 days to $430,000.

The exciting part of this collection is that the NFTs are only dropped one at a time, over a 24-hour period, which the project says is forever. That’s why the weekly sale of nouns is currently at 1 item, with a price of $70,000. The development team at Nouns says that the NFTs are an experiment to improve the current state of avatar communities on the chain.

“Cryptopunks have attempted to start up digital community and identity, nouns are trying to start up identity, community, governance and a treasury that can be used by the community,” the project’s website says.

Dreadfulz

Dreadfulz is an Ethereum-based collection of 7,777 scary characters that sees a spike in sales ahead of Halloween.

The project has a multi-step roadmap in place with holders able to stake their NFTs for DREAD tokens and gain ownership in the stake vault. The “DAO of the Dreadfulz” will follow and be used for members of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to vote on initiatives aimed at expanding the wealth of the DAO. NFT holders will later be able to claim a full-body 3D avatar to link to compatible metaverse projects.

Dreadfulz surged a whopping 164,000% over the past week, and each has a floor price of 0.015 ETH ($23).

Killabears

Killabears is a collection of 3333 NFTs designed, animated and randomly generated on Ethereum by Mexican artist Memo Angeles. The project was done in collaboration with the hit game developer Umbrella Games.

Killabears holders can participate in exclusive events, such as NFT drops, raffles, giveaways and more. Killabears can also be staked with a “stake-cation” at the Kilton Hotel, and these will offer rewards after a 30-day staking period.

Killabears saw a sales surge of 87% in the last week with a floor price of 1.55 ETH.

Street machine

Street Machine is a new Web3 anime brand and NFT collection by award-winning video game artist SpenzerG. Each NFT is hand drawn by the artist himself with over 500 unique features.

The collection of 8,000 NFTs reached $1 million in sales this week with an 11,000% increase. Street Machine plans to create an online graphic novel with the help of the community, and the NFTs will be a character in the world of sci-fi, cyberpunk and anime.
