MY GO-TO NFTS WITH ANALYTICS UTILITY.
NFTS whose utility is giving access to analytics tools are top of mind for me because the Solana ecosystem is huge and with projects dropping nearly every day, it can be difficult to navigate and without a compass, newcomers are more likely to get lost and overwhelmed. My first NFT’s utility was access to an analytics tool because at the end of the day as much as I love the art and the communities NFTs are early stages and they are investments and I need to have the right tools in my arsenal to ensure I make the right decisions, keep an eye on and protect my investments. So, knowing how important analytics tools are to your investments, I will share with you NFTs whose tools I use constantly.
1. SOLLUMINATI
Solluminati is a collection of 4343 NFTs and each holder of the NFT is granted access to their analysis tools for the Solana ecosystem. Their tool suite consists of the navigator, compass, & radar, and holding one of their NFTs also grants you access to the solluminati order which also operates as a DAO.
The Radar: this allows you to track drops, discord & twitter metrics for other collections, before or after they’ve minted
The Navigator: this lets you see rare NFTs listed below their floor price, allowing holders of the solluminati to get rare picks at a discount
The compass: displays current statistics about a collection, like floor price, volume, etc.
Solluminati does have another collection called the eye which does offer its own array of perks and they also recently released some new features for the pfp holders however I haven’t really explored them fully as they are still early stages, the tools above are the ones I use the most.
If solluminati sounds like a collection you may be interested in, you may want to take a look at their blackpaper as well as follow them on Twitter to learn more about their project and interact with the community. I am currently the owner of Solluminati #2669, it was my first ever NFT and I have not once regretted it.
2. RADRUGS
Radrugs is an auditing company with a collection of 5555 NFTs that aims to help alleviate the pressures of rug pulls. They review projects and provide a risk assessment that allows investors to make wise decisions that won’t lead to a loss of their investments. On their website, they have a section dedicated to community alerts with warnings about projects or confirmed rug pulls. Holding a radrug allows holders to participate in the governance of the project, giving them access to the DAO. Holders of 3 or more radrugs allow holders access to a premium version of their tool as well as in-depth analysis on reviews and comments by the auditors. There is also an alpha channel for the premium holders on their discord. Although they’ve mainly done audits for projects on Solana, they’ve recently announced they will be doing audits for projects on Ethereum. The DAO receives 20% of the revenue of audits as well as 30% of the royalties from secondary sales.
I rarely make any decisions without consulting the radrugs community first because they help steer me in the right direction and away from potential scams and rug pulls. Be sure to check out their Twitter to stay up to date with the team and the community.
3. BUGBEARZ
Bugbearz is a collection of 555 NFTs that allows each holder access to their fast buy tool on ME. This comes in handy when a project is having crazy volume and you aren’t able to snag one and when you find yourself in a situation like that, you will be glad you have this.
Alternatively, if you are in the business of flipping NFTs, then this tool will quickly become your friend, especially with the recent release of their V2 which they added an auto sweeper function that allows you to pick a quantity and the price at which you would like.
At this point I’m sure you’re asking questions as to how this all works, I didn’t make the tool I just love it. However, if you head over to their Twitter there is a pinned video explaining how the tools work and you get a chance to interact with the creators of the project as well as the community.
4. MR. BOT
Mr. Bot is a collection of 1111 NFTs and being a holder allows you to track the floor price, quantities listed, and last sale price of a collection. In their recent version release, they have allowed holders to do this by traits, so you can now view the floor price of a certain trait in a collection. There is a gold, silver, and bronze version of the NFT however all version gives the same access to the tool. Instead of constantly refreshing ME to get updates on a collections volume and what is currently going on, I just go to Mr. Bot.
I’m sure that you can see how having access to 2 or 3 of these tools and using them to guide your decisions will allow you to make better investment decisions. These are the tools that I use and the best part is the creators of these tools are still working on improved versions of their tools, having them work more efficiently and giving holders new features they’ve demanded.
Bottom line, none of this is financial advice and I highly suggest you do your own research to see if or how these tools will benefit you. If you know someone that will benefit from knowing these tools exist please share this with them and help me on my journey, exposing the Solana ecosystem to the world.
