BitColors NFTs
- Price: 0.2 ETH
- No. of Tokens: 1,000
“Today’s 200+ BitColors were sold within 3 min or so and that is with huge net fees on top of it. That’s what happens with great projects.”
Beyond owning colors, the team is looking to promote BitColors to a mainstream audience through collaborations with artists. They have collaborated with the likes of the Romanus Numerus NFT collection, Butterflies Museum and The Hours.
Sol Disorders NFTs
- Price: 1.5 SOL
- No. of Tokens: 3,333
As for the gameplay, there are several puzzles and enigmas to solve. Solving each enigma reveals a word. By gathering all the words, a player unlocks a seed phrase that gives access to a wallet full of SOL. The first player to resolve every part of the treasure hunt will win the entire pot, currently worth 27 SOL.
IX Panthers NFTs
- Price: 0.065 ETH
- No. of Tokens: 10,000
Who doesn’t love big cats? This NFT collection arguably draws its inspiration from the 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character the Black Panther. However, the collection is not just about Panthers. There are lions, tigers, jaguars, snow leopards and a golden ape.
“IX Panthers is an NFT project that attempts to merge high-quality PFP art with a roadmap strongly focused on bridging the gap between the real world and the digital one. The Panthers' team has put in place partnerships with specialists in the Metaverse, AR, creative industry, and in immersive events to deliver first-class utilities to their community while they build ‘The Secret,’ an ambitious project that attempts to create new mythology on blockchain and blur the lines between the ideas of metaverse and real-life experiences and community.”
While the above description from the project’s website sounds quite abstract, token holders will have access to AR avatars, gamified mechanics, a private metaverse, live events, and high-end figurines in the future.
SolMandalas NFTs
- Price: 1 SOL
- No. of Tokens: 3,333
If an NFT series of mental disorders seem quite extreme to you, then one promoting calmness and meditation might tickle your fancy. Surprisingly, the number of tokens for Sol Disorders and SolMandalas are both 3,333 each. So, you can balance every mental disorder NFT with a calming animation.
Another interesting aspect of the artworks in this series is that they respond to the time of the day. The NFTs begin to spin during daylight hours, becoming more active until noon. They start to calm down in the evening and night hours.
Speaking of the utility of the NFTs, 20% of all minting sales will be channeled to a community wallet that will be used to provide practical real-world utility within the ecosystem. For instance, scholarships will be offered to a few lucky token holders to “improve their meditation practices.” Furthermore, at least 22 SolMandala NFT holders will receive unique light sculptures that will bring the project to life in the real world.

Coin League NFTs
- Price: 115 MATIC
- No. of Tokens: 11,000
Powered by Chainlink and BiTToken, Coin League already has a soft launch and is in the Beta phase. Although the role of the NFTs within the overall ecosystem is still sketchy, the main concept of the gameplay involves players making crypto predictions against other players.
According to the project’s roadmap, there are plans to release NFT mini games arcade rooms in Q4 2021. By the first quarter of next year, new NFT mini-games will be added to the ecosystem, along with a launch on Binance Smart Chain.
RuneClub NFTs
- Price: 0.07 ETH
- No. of Tokens: 10,000
There are three categories of rarity – common, rare and super rare, further differentiated by attributes such as body armor, weapons, boots, helmets and pets.
At 25% mint, RuneClub will debut RuneComics, a comic book series that will feature the community and actual RuneClub characters. Further down the line, token holders will receive RunePets, as well as limited edition physical art.
PAWNSHOP GNOMIES NFTs
- Price: 0.33 SOL
- No. of Tokens: 5,555
Although NFT appears to be the latest buzzword, decentralized lending is still very much active and is even expanding to the Solana blockchain.
The primary mission of the project is to create financial services and passive income sources to benefit community members. These include profit from the DAO-based NFT Pawnshop, royalties from secondary market sales, priority queue at future NFT sales and additional incentives in liquidity mining programs.
“The Gnomies’ NFT Pawnshop is a DAO-driven decentralized lending protocol built on the Solana Blockchain. It is designed to allow users to get instant loans from the protocol’s pools against their Solana-based digital assets. The protocol is ruled by DAO, whose members are the users holding one or more NFTs out of the Pawnshop Gnomies collectible.”

MoonWhips NFTs
- Price: 0.09 ETH
- No. of Tokens: 11,111
For clarity, nested NFTs (aka Matroyshka) are made up of a limited number of unique art-based NFTs embedded in a single larger release. In the case of MoonWhips, there are 9 categories comprising cars, trucks, ducks, horses, dogs and others.
Token holders will enjoy exclusive access to the MoonWhips Universe, which houses designer art figurines, a blockchain game and limited-edition lifestyle items.
Once the mint reaches 80% completion, the team will begin building its MoonWhips designer art figures, with a few users being able to win a version of their own NFT. And at 100% completion, work on the MoonWhips blockchain game will begin.

- Price: 0.08 ETH
- No. of Tokens: 8,000

The Drippy Zombies series draws references from anime, Asian culture, fashion and games. In addition to the collectibles, token holds will enjoy real physical utility, fashion and a play-to-earn game.
The NFTs are the access key to the play-to-earn game where users can collect mystery boxes that allows them to change the zombie’s clothing and appearance. Meanwhile, the mystery boxes include upgrades to patterns, clothing, items, and other customizations for the zombies. Above all, there is over 100 ETH in physical collectibles.

Soulcops Encrypted Project
- Price: 0.08 ETH
- No. of Tokens: 10,000
