So, you might be wondering, what are the best Solana NFT projects?
Thanks to the high speed of the SOL blockchain, Solana NFT projects allow you to collect rare and valuable NFTs without having to worry about paying high gas fees, an often occurrence with Ethereum.
Now let’s take a look at what the best Solana projects have to offer!
Best Solana NFT Projects
1. SolPunks
SolPunks is the Solana version of CryptoPunks – the first NFT collection ever made!
Each SolPunk is a unique pixel art character with easily distinguishable characteristics. There are many different types of SolPunks. Aside from basic types like male and female, there are also unique types like zombie, alien or ape.
In total, this massively popular Solana NFT collection is made out of 10,000 SolPunks. All of them were minted almost immediately after the launch, and they are now very expensive!
Some of the most cool-looking SolPunks are listed on Solanart.io for as much as 3764000 SOL – over $438 million! But don’t worry if you don’t have that much. The cheapest SolPunks can be purchased for a modest price of under 7 SOL, or around $800.
2. Degenerate Ape Academy
At the first look, Degenerate Ape Academy is just the Solana version of the famous Bored Ape Yacht Club. But Degenerate Ape Academy is much more than just a copy. It’s a unique collection of beautifully designed Solana NFTs!
While Degenerate Ape Academy is inspired by the Bored Ape Yacht Club, it looks completely different. The apes of BAYC are simple 2d cartoons. The apes of Degenerate Ape Academy are 3d characters that look a lot like characters from a Pixar movie. Because of how unique they look, you can be sure that your Degenerate Ape won’t be mistaken for any other NFT collection.
There are 10,000 Degenerate Apes in total. Each can have one or more out of 137 traits. Furthermore, they are classified in 5 tiers of rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare and Mythic.
3. Solana Monkey Business
Solana Monkey Business is one of the most brilliant Solana NFT collections. The reason for that is that it’s a combination of two of the most popular NFT projects: CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club.
Solana Monkey Business NFTs are a collection of 5,000 unique monkey pictures similar to Bored Apes. However, they are drawn in the pixel art style of CryptoPunks. Because of that, they look really unique and stand out from other NFT projects.
Each Solana Monkey Business NFT can have one or more out of 99 character traits. The most unique Solana Monkeys are very valuable. So far, the most expensive one was SMB #790 which sold for 25001 SOL – almost $3 million!
4. Aurory
Aurory is one of the most unique and ambitious Solana NFT projects. Unlike many other projects, Aurory is not just a simple collection. It’s a fully functional Play to Earn (P2E) video game with NFTs!
Aurory features over 10,000 unique NFT items which you can buy, sell, collect and trade with others. For example, you can explore a beautiful virtual world and use your NFT characters to battle other players.
Aurory also includes a collection of more traditional NFTs called Aurorians. Because of that, you can use an NFT of your in-game avatar as your profile pic on Twitter!
So far, Aurory is already one of the most popular Solana projects with NFTs. Since Play to Earn games are becoming truly widespread, Aurory is one of the best NFTs projects on Solana to invest in!
5. Sollamas
Tired of seeing monkey NFTs everywhere? Sollamas is something for you. This unique Solana NFT collection features 8,888 cute llamas!
Each Sollama was generated out of 165 different attributes, and they can range from common ones to very rare “Artifact” ones. Furthermore, some Sollamas come in unique types like alien, zombie and robot, which makes them even more expensive.
Another interesting feature of Sollamas is the fact that each NFT has its own name and attribute. Owning “Nakiya, the Sociable” or “Tytus, the Chubby” feels much better than owning generic #3201 or #8124!
Since it’s not a very famous NFT collection yet, you can get your own Sollama at a low cost. The cheapest Sollamas on Solanart.io can be bought for 0.59 SOL – just under $70.
6. Solsteads
Solsteads is a Solana NFT collection that truly stands out from the competition. Most NFT projects feature characters, but Solsteads is all about homes!
If you ever wanted to own a beautiful home on the blockchain, Solsteads is something for you. This NFT includes 2472 amazingly looking home NFTs.
Solsteads is definitely one of the best-looking NFT collections ever created. Each NFT looks beautiful and very unique. The shape of the house, the colors, the background and even the weather – everything is customized.
7. Portals
Portals is a very ambitious NFT project on Solana. It allows you to own your personal room in the metaverse, and do with it anything you want!
Portals enables you to fully customize your own metaverse property and do with it what you want. You can add furniture, put posters on the wall, and invite friends to your place to have fun.
Portals is so promising that even major businesses are investing in it. Recently, Binance has announced that it will collaborate with Portals to create a Binance office in the Solana metaverse!
Best Solana NFT Projects: Final Takeaway
The Solana ecosystem is expanding rapidly, and there are tons of great Solana NFT projects to invest in. Whether you want a traditional NFT collection like SolPunks or an innovative metaverse project like Portals, Solana will have something that’s perfect for you!
