A Rookie’s Guide To Discovering Upcoming NFTs

If you’re new to the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) space, then you may have trouble finding great upcoming NFT projects to follow. We’ve been in this space for awhile and have noticed that it’s easy to stay “inside of the box” when you primarily use reputable sources of information (i.e. Reddit, Telegram, Medium posts 👈). But if you want to find the best upcoming NFTs before they’re listed in public, then you need to tap into the communities of HODLers who are actively looking for these gems.

How do you find NFT projects that won’t fail?

The answer is simple: you don’t.

You can read the whitepapers and watch the YouTube videos and try to tell yourself that this is an opportunity and not a bubble, but most of it will fail.

Take a look at a list of recent NFT launches — many of them are already dead or dying. Even some of the biggest names can have trouble maintaining traction after the initial mint.

And yet, there’s still a chance for newcomers to make waves in the space — if they play their cards right.

Where are the tools to find compelling NFT projects?

Lately there have been a lot of conversations around NFTs. The reasons for this no doubt include the recent boom in Ethereum and the record-breaking sale by Beeple.

However, the tools today for finding upcoming NFT projects are not good enough. Most of the time you need to rely on Twitter or Telegram channels to find out what new projects are coming up next. And if you want to see a list of all NFT projects that have launched over time, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything useful on Google.

We saw the problems that exist today finding great NFT projects and decided to build the solution.

We have been deep in the crypto space for several years now. We are block explorers and crypto enthusiasts. We love NFTs and wanted to provide everyone with a simple way to find them. So, we created Janus.

Why Janus?

The first problem we see is discoverability. It’s difficult to find relevant NFT information in one place, especially when you have limited time to scour the internet every day. Janus solves this by aggregating all the information from the hive mind of the community.

Secondly, vetting all of your favorite NFT projects is a hassle! With so many new projects popping up each day, it’s easy to be taken in by a seemingly endless sea of exciting opportunities. With Janus, you can quickly determine if a project is worth its mettle.

Lastly, the NFT space should be lucrative for those willing to participate in new projects. Our goal is that through our platform, we can provide financial incentives to users that provide value through curation. We aim to create an experience that benefits beginners and veterans alike.

Conclusion

There’s plenty to be excited about in the NFT landscape at the moment and there are a number of highly promising projects that are slated for introduction this year. If you’re as interested in staying on top of the latest trends as we are, then check us out at: https://janusnft.com. You can follow us on twitter to receive updates or join the community on discord.

Just like this Janus, the most successful NFT investors will be looking forward as well as backwards. You’re just a few steps away from being ahead of the curve.
