Party Degenerates, The Walking Dead avatars and more
Traversing the world of non-fungible substances is a daunting task. With so many new NFT projects, artists, and major collections popping up weekly, it’s become nearly impossible to keep up with each successive development.
In the past, a simple review of OpenSea was enough to find the latest NFT craze. But things have changed drastically since the NFT boom of 2021. Now, NFT enthusiasts have to be very careful about what and where they collect.
To help uncover awe-inspiring NFT work both new and old, nft now presents Undervalued: a weekly column highlighting innovative projects, collections and artists pushing the NFT space forward.
