We chose to cover Cets on Creck because of two reasons. First, it stands as one of the few NFT projects that remains unapologetic about what it is. Second, it has some of the most loyal community members across Solana. And the art is truly exceptional too, despite being one of the ‘older’ collections. And Peblo is a marketing genius. What is Cets on Creck (CoC)? Cets on Creck (CoC) is a web3 brand built at the crux of community, culture, and freedom that epitomizes the candor of the urban streets.

A significant chunk of the web3 and blockchain industries are fueled by memes, from memecoins to meme-powered NFT projects, and now, the Memetaverse. Goblin Town makes an excellent example, having raked more than $30M (and counting) in secondary sales despite being a free mint, having no utility at launch, no marketing budget, and no roadmap nor promise made to holders. Why did it see such tremendous success in such a short time? Its community, many of which were speculators, kept spreading memes of the goblins pissing all across Twitter, until it came to a point where the cheapest goblin NFT…
The music industry has delivered countless beautiful and expressive tunes that have dynamically evolved over the last three decades. But the sad truth remains, many artists are prone to exploitation, with unscrupulous record labels and production companies known to milk every ounce of value, leaving them with less than their fair share. This has been a huge hurdle for up-and-coming artists considering that signing a record label became synonymous with success, even up to this day, to some degree. For the most part, a record deal could make or break your way to stardom. In the 1990s, the Internet was…

Gaming is more than just a pastime, at this point. It is a cultural phenomenon that spans more than half a century, from the time Physicist William Higinbotham created the first electronic game Tennis for Two right down to the Golden Age of Arcade Video Games, when gamers saw a rapid evolution in gaming technology. And today, players are being introduced to a new and rather perplexing concept called the metaverse, which is touted as the next stage of the gaming industry that will make video games far more immersive than ever before. One of the timeless gaming platforms that…
Blockchain is one of the most unique and advanced technologies today that allows different worlds to exist within the metaverse. The once empty spaces were suddenly filled with blockchain-powered platforms, creating empowered projects that provide value to communities where they belong.

One of the platforms that recognized the growing opportunities in this space is Decentraland, where blockchain and gaming enthusiasts can do multiple activities: create, explore, and trade. Decentraland is currently one of the market leaders…
The current market is quite hostile to the vast majority of non-fungible token (NFT) projects, with many of the smaller collections going under mint due to global financial concerns and other bearish sentiments. In fact, the number of projects that are launching also appears to be dwindling this August. However, top-of-the-line projects are still stronger than ever, albeit with slightly fewer secondary sales than before. Remember, the higher the secondary sales, the more money project founders get, which in turn, translates to a bigger budget for continuing development. Let’s explore the most dominant NFT collections in the web3 world. Note…

Blockchain and NFTs. The Sandbox sets a clear goal that aims to change the norm: to bring blockchain into mainstream gaming, providing both crypto and non-crypto enthusiasts with a gaming…
A non-fungible token (NFT) is one of today’s modern ways to represent ownership of unique assets that can mostly be seen in digital form. However, NFTs need not be bound to cyberspace as they can also represent items in the physical world. In fact, there is a specific category for them. Physical NFTs are a type of NFT that guarantee rights to real-world assets through an immutable certificate recorded on a blockchain like Ethereum, Cardano, or Solana. Blockchains make physical NFTs verifiably scarce and non-interchangeable as the stored item data cannot be tampered with thanks to the design mechanism of…
