👉🏼 Want to make an impact on the NFT scene? Here’s your chance: Lazy.com is hiring a web3 front-end developer with React experience. Tens of thousands of collectors use Lazy.com to display their NFTs. Shape what they see. Apply now by sending a sample of your work. 👀

All eyes were on Bored Ape Yacht Club this week after the collection’s creators acquired CryptoPunks and Meebits and then airdropped ApeCoin. It will takes some time for the volatility to subside. Until then the full impact of these developments are unknown. One thing is for certain: NFTs are entering a new stage that few could have predicted.

So, what’s next? In search of answers, we present three of this week’s best Twitter threads on the future of NFTs.

1) Overview of the NFT / Metaverse Landscape by @JavierAng_

We’ve been saying for awhile that NFTs are a lot more than profile pictures. In this recent thread, @JavierAng_ does a good job showing the true breadth of the NFT technology and scene. It serves as a helpful reminder that the future of NFTs will happen in many different fields: from marketplaces to identity layers and blockchains to DeFi. Read the full thread here.

2) “A few NFT trends I can’t stop thinking about” by @gregisenberg

Greg Isenberg shares a few thoughts on the NFT trends that have captured his imagination. Good ideas and good examples makes this an interesting read. Although, to be honest, Greg makes a couple arguments that we find hard to accept, we appreciated the provocation. Read the full thread here.

3) Data analytics of NFTs by @Curiotools

Curio, an app for NFT research, posted an analysis of whether collectors should sell their NFTs pre-reveal or post-reveal. The question is oddly specific and Curio has presented a lot of detailed analysis, which all makes this thread a satisfying read. It makes us wonder what kind of NFT analytics will be commonplace in the years ahead and how that will inform the behavior of NFT collectors. Read the full thread here.

These three perspectives on NFTs. Their opinions could be wrong. Always do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

Serious NFT collecting requires a lot of research. There are countless new projects spread across several blockchains. How to keep track of them all? How to find the projects that are diamonds waiting to be discovered?

This week we dive into three research tools that will help you curate your dream NFT collection.

1) CryptoSlam!

First up, is CryptoSlam!, a great place to begin your research each day. The front page of CryptoSlam! gives an immediate overview of the NFT collections that are generating the most sales. Dig deeper by clicking on a collection, and CryptoSlam! provides detailed information on recent sales, how long the NFT was held before being sold, it’s rarity rank, etc. All super useful and interesting information.

2) Context

Next, check out Context. The beauty of this site is how information is presented. Context makes it easy to track the activity of NFT collectors. For example, you can see which NFTs CrytoPunk holders are buying and selling. Context does a great job surfacing useful information out of the flood of transactions happening every day on the blockchain.

3) Coniun

Finally, jump over to Coniun in search of new projects. Coniun has taken a similar approach to CryptoSlam! with a few notable differences. The most useful being their analytics on new mints. And they’ve done some work to automatically identify the new projects that are likely to be scams. Unlike CryptoSlam! and Context, full access to Coniun is not free.

These three tools can be helpful in identifying NFTs that are worth adding to your collection. However, always do careful research: some canny scammers can manipulate minting data or floor prices.
