Minted Projects
Gh0stly Gh0sts (78%) – PFP
Medium – Twitter – OpenSea
Gh0stly Gh0sts is a collection of 7,710 NFTs and the first collection built using LayerZero, a transport layer allowing smart contracts to easily communicate between blockchains. What this means for Gh0stly Gh0sts is that they are the first fully omnichain NFT project. Gh0sts were rolled out sneakily on April 4th, 2022, free to anyone who minted. Of the 7,710 NFTs, only 3,084 were originally minted on Ethereum, the remainder of the NFTs were split between Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Polygon, Fantom, and Optimism. Since minting, over 2,000 of those NFTs have been transferred to Ethereum.
At the time of writing, Gh0stly Gh0sts is #11 in top collections over the last seven days on OpenSea, trading over 4,333 ETH in volume. A video on how to bridge NFTs to other chains can be viewed on the project’s Twitter.

10KTF (75%) – Collectibles
Website – Twitter – OpenSea
10KTF is an NFT collection from NFT studio WENEW Labs. WENEW was founded by famed artist Beeple, manager of U2, Madonna, and Yuga Labs, Guy Oseary, and Tim Smith. WENEW has some of the top investors and partners in the space including Warner Music Group, TIME Magazine, Coinbase Ventures, Alameda Research, and Digital Currency Group.
10KTF allows holders of parent NFTs to take their collections to WAGMI-San, a fictional artisan in New Tokyo, and generate collectibles based on the parent NFTs. For example, a Bored Ape owner can take their ape to WAGMI-San and make a pair of digital sneakers donning the ape. Parent NFTs that have collaborated with 10KTF thus far include BAYC and its offshoots (MAYC & BAKC), World of Women, and Pudgy Penguins.

6.5 | 10 | 7 | 8 | n/a | 8 | 5.5 | 6 | 10 | 75% |
Team:
WENEW Labs wields one of the strongest teams in the NFT space. Founded by Beeple, whose “5,000 Days” piece broke the record for the most expensive piece of NFT art. Guy Oseary, has been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years working with major acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Amy Schumer. Last year, Bored Ape Yacht Club creator, Yuga Labs, signed with Oseary. Other team members flaunt experience at cutting-edge firms such as Facebook, IBM, and Walmart Labs.
Utility:
Holding the NFTs gives users access to the “Back Alley” section of New Tokyo. This section is similar to the Bored Ape’s “bathroom.” WAGMI-San has also expressed interest in expanding his ambition beyond the metaverse, hinting at potential for physical collectibles in the future.
Social Media Metrics:
10KFT has nearly 38,000 followers on Twitter and just over 32,000 members in their Discord channel.

Pre-Mint Projects
Ultraman – Gaming
Ultraman is an upcoming NFT gaming project based on the 1966 Japanese television series Ultraman. This project was first announced on April 6th, 2022, so it is still very early. Not much is known about the project besides the fact that the collection will consist of 7,800 tokusatsu superheroes NFTs from Nebula M78, where the television show was based. Ultraman is widely known and referred to in Japan similar to Superman in the United States. There have been 60+ television shows based on the original Ultraman series, almost 50 Ultraman movies, and almost 100 Ultraman video games. You may read more about the history and relevance of Ultraman in Japanese culture here.
Team:
The project’s Twitter states that it is created by DWEB Studio, a game development studio based in Bangkok, Thailand that has created multiple Ultraman video games with over 5 million downloads worldwide across Google Play and Apple App Store.
Utility:
There is no information about the utility of these NFTs; however, we can speculate that since the project is created by a game development studio, the NFTs will be used in an upcoming Ultraman blockchain video game.
Social Media Metrics:
Ultraman has ~15K followers on Twitter and no Discord launched yet.

Mystics – PFP
Mystics is a magical animation project inspired by the wildly popular and successful GIF NFT project Invisible Friends.

This allows anyone to use the art for commercial and any other purposes without giving attribution to the original creators.
Popular CC0 projects include Mfers, Cryptoadz, and NounsDAO. There were some community concerns about the similarity between Mystics and Invisible Friends; however, the team reached out to Motion Markus (creator of Invisible Friends) and the Motion Design School (legal owners of the “sneaky walk cycle” animation) and received permission to continue with the project. The project consists of 5,000 GIF NFTs.
Team:
The project’s Lead Trait Artist is Russian artist Grood, the project’s Animator is Motion Designer Brad Eaton, the project’s Co-Trait Artist is Latvian graphic designer Valentine Kitchenzky, and the project’s Director is Third Age. You may check out the team’s profiles here.
