On December 2, 2021, the NFT took off with the launch of CryptoKitties, a game promoting the collection of unique felines imitating the Kitties, which sold for around $ 100,000 on occasion. Today, NFTs number in the millions and some of them sell for tens of millions of dollars as well.
Brief history of NFTs
A post from L’ADN devoted to NFTs evokes a rocky start for non-fungible tokens. Indeed, the idea of a Monetized Graphics came from the creative community of Tumblr, which aimed to give credit to an image, video or Tweet as a reward to its author.
In order to strengthen the powers of artists, to protect their works against any form of plagiarism, Anil Dash (CEO of Glitch) and Kevin McCoy (digital artist) had to use blockchain technology.
Unfortunately, this idea could not see a beautiful realization. However, it had repercussions on similar projects like Namecoin, Colored, Counterparty or CryptoArt.
Currently, it is difficult to inventory all of the NFTs deployed on the market. To give you a glimpse of contemporary existing ones, OpenSea, the largest marketplace for non-fungible tokens, has recorded a transaction volume of $ 10 billion and nearly 80 million NFTs since its inception.
What if we gave up on popular NFTs?
With a blockchain ecosystem that rains millions of NFTs per month, we risk getting easily lost in this jungle.
Unless you decide to put your trust in a blockchain savvy like Ashky. Here is his proposal: instead of focusing our attention on the most popular projects, why not consider the least rated, but with a solid foundation.
The aforementioned expert put forward the following 3 NTFs:
– TheTigersGuild
TheTigersGuild is not an ordinary NFT collector’s item as it is the result of creating 3D artwork. Apparently, this is a tough bet for the Guild of Tigers team, but the results seem mind-boggling. Looks like its promoters wanted to get ahead of the implementation of the next version of the Internet.
– Alto City
It is the coding which makes the particularity of this NFT. Moreover, it is from the coding that we were able to obtain Alto City as well as the exchanges on which it can be exchanged. Developed on Ethereum, this token conveys the concept of generative work accompanied by physical products that can be monetized.
– Soccer Doge
Far from imitating BAYC, Soccer Doge is presented as a collection of NFTs generated by an algorithm on the ETH blockchain since July 2021. The existence of the Soccer Doge Club brings together Dogecoin and football fans whose ambition is to organize a football match on Mars in 2035.

To say that we had, for a long time, the habit of hanging physical works of art on our walls. Now, with NFT helping, we will have to develop other practices such as highlighting our virtual collections in our Zoom backgrounds.

The blockchain and crypto revolution is underway! And the day when the impacts will be felt on the most vulnerable economy in this world, against all hope, I will say that I was there for something
