Sailing the OpenSea: SlimHoods, Worldwide Webb Land, NounPunks & More
Ahoy and GM, weary traveler.
Traversing the vast expanse of the world’s largest NFT marketplace has become a bit daunting, hasn’t it?
Well fret not. I’ve been venturing far and wide with the simple goal of unearthing the most innovative and awe-inspiring NFT projects out there!
In this weekly column, I’ll share all sorts of discoveries with you — big, small, new and old. So all aboard the S.S. WAGMI to marvel at what I’ve found whilst Sailing the OpenSea …
SlimHoods
SlimHoods was the first-ever collection from the increasingly popular Random Characters Collective. A collection of 5,000 randomly generated NFTs, these hoods sold out months ago and have mostly flown under the radar till now.
Although SlimHoods weren’t exceedingly popular when they first launch, as Random Characters Collective’s forthcoming project Invisible Friends has started to pick up steam, so too have secondaries for these hooded NFTs. The SlimHoods floor is currently 1 ETH.
Worldwide Webb Land
Worldwide Webb is a pixel art MMORPG game where players can buy land and build out their own unique metaverse spaces. Featuring 9,514 NFTs, WWL was launched in late November 2021 and has started to pick up some serious speed over the last week.
The game uses NFTs for in-game avatars, pets, lands, items, and quests. As players can own land, equip their NFTs in-game & more, the popularity of the project has brought the floor up to around 1.8 ETH.
NounPunks
As you probably guessed from the name NounPunks is a collection inspired by CryptoPunks and Punk4156’s popular Nouns project. Featuring 9,969 NFTs, this project aims to be the first “hybrid culture with a FU attitude that !vibes in the fabric of block and time.”
Considering the popularity of Nouns, CryptoPunks, and Gremplin’s CrypToadz, it’s no wonder these colorful, quirky NounPunks are completely sold out. Now only available via OpenSea secondaries, the floor currently sits at 0.045 ETH.
Things Never Go My Way
Things Never Go My Way is an NFT photo collection from popular crypto-artist TyeDied. Featuring 30 augmented reality NFT photos, Tye says this collection is first and foremost about the chaos in their head.
Launched towards the end of August 2021, the collection sold out incredibly quickly, almost immediately achieving secondary sales volume into the double digits. Now that the hype surrounding the project has slowed down, the floor for Things Never Go My Way currently sits at 0.3 ETH.
Coolman’s Universe
Coolman’s Universe is the first large-scale NFT project from celebrated artist Danny Casale (who is known affectionately and professionally as Cool Man). The collection features 10,000 NFTs modeled after Cool Man’s beloved character Spesh.
This adorable PFP project follows the story of Spesh as he’s searching for his best friend throughout the vast expanse of Coolman’s Universe. These cute lil NFTs currently sit at a floor of 0.9 ETH.
GhostsProject
GhostsProject is the first-ever large-scale PFP endeavor from coveted crypto artist Mr. Misang. Featuring 10,000 NFTs, the project has been slowly rolling out, only awarding minting privileges to those active within the GhostsProject community.
The lore of GhostsProject is set before the series Modern life is Rubbish from Mr. Misang. In an unknown dark space, a black portal opened, releasing a wide variety of ghosts depicted by the collection’s NFTs. Although the collection has yet to sell out, the current floor is sitting around 0.28 ETH.
Noodles
Noodles is a lighthearted NFT art project that was derived from Doodles. The collections 5,555 NFTs are a direct representation of how the project started as a late-night joke between two NFT collectors and bloomed into a noodle-themed community.
For those that can’t afford a Doodle, Noodles may be the next best thing! With a goal to create a positive and fun community, the Noodles project has been gaining prominence alongside Doodles and currently has a floor of 0.53 ETH.
