In the last week of June, all the old Ethereum blue-chip NFT projects rebounded. CryptoPunks rebounded by 24%, BAYC rebounded by 30%, Pudgy Penguins rebounded by 50%, and Azuki rebounded by 35%. Solana's top brand Mad Lads also rose by 40%, and Bitcoin's top projects NodeMonkes and Bitcoin Puppets also rose by more than 20%.

Is it a signal that NFT has bottomed out? The editor believes that it is too early to open the champagne at this time. However, we can first look forward to July, which has already arrived, and see which NFT projects are worthy of our attention.

Abstract Chain (formerly Frame)

As an NFT Layer2 chain, Frame has been silent since the official tweet announced the extension of the airdrop pre-claim period on January 30 this year. Until last week, Frame finally came up with its big move - the chain was acquired by Igloo, the newly established parent company of Pudgy Penguins. So far, all three brands of the Igloo ecosystem have been unveiled - Pudgy Penguins, the on-chain IP licensing platform Overpass, and Frame.

Frame has been rebranded. In addition to changing its name to Abstract, the overall vision has also been upgraded from empowering creators and providing a more convenient and secure NFT user experience to targeting mass consumers and promoting the large-scale adoption of Crypto.

This chain will have mandatory royalties at the protocol level to protect the rights of creators. In addition, it has previously cooperated with Azuki's fragmented series Bobu on the technical adoption of ERC-6551. After the Pudgy Penguins team intervened, the editor is looking forward to how this chain will bring breakthroughs in mass consumption.

However, the editor believes that what is more promising in the short term is that Abstract will become the "new paradise" for NFT players. Previously, Bitcoin (Ordinals) did not fully absorb the NFT core player group of the Ethereum mainnet, and Base also absorbed some old NFT players, but the wealth effect has always been relatively weak. On the contrary, Blast, a chain that is actually not very centered on NFT, has been quite lively in terms of dApp transaction volume through the promotion of dApps such as fantasy.top and Yolo and foreign NFT big Vs.

Can NFT players welcome back a "Silver Age" of hype on Abstract? "Bronze Age" is fine, as long as it's lively...

Based VC

Based VC, as its name suggests, is a licensed VC whose investment partners include well-known NFT projects such as CyberKongz and NeoTokyo.

They will issue a Free Mint NFT series with a total supply of 2,000, and NFT holders will receive $BASED token airdrops, Alpha network access rights, and priority access to private/public offerings after $BASED tokens. In addition, NFT holders can also pledge $BASED in the future to increase the equity level of NFTs.

This is the first time I have seen a VC with strong NFT correlation issue a pass NFT series to connect more retail investors and form an Alpha community. Who among us doesn’t like Free Mint?

Champions Tactics - The Champions

The Web3 multiplayer tactical competitive game from gaming giant Ubisoft has previously released a Free Mint series “The Warlords” with a total supply of 9999.

Although the total supply of the new series “The Champions” is as high as 75,000, according to the description on the official website, players need to form a “3-person team”. The new series will be issued on the Oasys network, Free Mint, and minted on July 15 (The Warlords holders) and July 18 (whitelist and public sale).

The closed beta of the game will also start on July 4. You might say, Ubisoft came up with this after going to Web3?

Although, the trailer on the official website is still pretty good. Given that this is a Free Mint series, we can reserve Ubisoft's breathing rights until the actual game experience.

CybeReator

CybeReator has received high expectations among Chinese NFT players because of the Chinese NFT legend "Teacher Guan" @jivacore behind it. Although the project has been temporarily silent in the past few months, SoSoValue, a crypto financial research startup under Imagine Labs, just announced a $4.15 million seed round of financing last week.

Is the tavern owner brewing a new surprise?

Pizza Pets

The first Bitcoin full-chain game jointly brought by Bitcoin NFT projects Pizza Ninjas and MegaPunks. The series will be airdropped to multiple Ordinals communities including Pizza Ninjas and MegaPunks, and will present a full-chain "Tamagotchi" style pet development game based on Bitcoin.

I had some conversations with Pizza Ninjas founder @TO at the Hong Kong Bitcoin Week in May. The bearded Trevor was very enthusiastic about this series, which made me look forward to it. Given that there will also be a large Bitcoin event in Nashville, Tennessee, USA on July 24, will Trevor bring surprises to the "Ninjas" at that time?

PROFILES

PROFILES is a PFP series, but also a digital fashion ecosystem. The project was created by @MONKEEMOTO, the first artist-in-residence of Adidas' Web3 Digital Artist-in-Residence Program. PROFILES will feature a variety of digital wearables that users can equip on their PFP, allowing for extensive customization and personalization. By staking PROFILES PFP, new "clothing packs" will be available every quarter. @MONKEEMOTO hopes to provide designers and fashion enthusiasts with the tools, resources, and platforms to bring them into the world of Web3.

I am still quite attracted by some of the clothing features that have been revealed, and I think this project will be very suitable for using ERC-6551, but the current plan for the project is to be released on Solana. According to the Q&A on the official website, the planned release time is early July, and the minting price is still to be announced.

ChronosWorlds

ChronosWorlds, a blockchain game project produced by SphereStudios and jointly incubated by Web3 game incubator Seedify (@SeedifyFund) and Web3 game platform Elixir Games (@Elixir_Games). This will be a mobile game where players can obtain loot through real-time combat and exploration, upgrade their characters and build their own homes.

The Free Mint series with a total supply of 2250 will be released on July 3, and the Token $SPHR is also scheduled to be released in the third quarter of this year.

Scribbles

Scribbles @Scribblesby0xVM is the NFT project of @0xVM_BTC. 0xVM is a "modular Bitcoin execution layer". The partners mentioned so far include Razer, Jump Crypto, Huobi and Zentry.

From some of the art previews that have been released for the project, plus the answers from the mods in Discord, this is not a PFP project. From the perspective of empowerment, this is a Pass card. The official tweet mentioned 0xVM's future token airdrops, pre-sale priority, and benefits for ecosystem partners.

The total supply is 888, Free Mint. Since the deadline for white wallet submissions is approaching and white list applications will also be closed on July 7, the editor believes that the project is likely to be released sometime in July.

Chooky Records

A music-related NFT project. Chooky Records is an on-chain record company. Their first song with American rapper Busta Rhymes has received 1.5 million plays on Spotify. In addition, they also announced a partnership with Disney's streaming service Hulu and American ticket sales and distribution company Ticketmaster.

The core benefit of NFT holders will be to obtain 10% of the platform's music and IP peripheral product sales revenue, which will be released on the Base network in 1 day.

UniTap

What UniTap does is to bridge the gap between Tap Protocol (an improved version of BRC-20 protocol previously developed by TRAC) and BRC-20 and Runes, and will support the mapping of Tap Protocol Token to BRC-20 and Runes, as well as seamless swaps between the three.

They will issue a total of 3,000 OG Passes on July 3, priced at 0.0049 Bitcoin. Holders will receive 592 official Token airdrops (296 on Tap Protocol and 296 on Runes) and no platform fees in the future.

Given that TRAC just announced that the Tap Protocol market will be launched soon (it’s been a long time...), maybe the Tap ecosystem will get some attention?
