Links for the Top 25 drops are HERE.

So many good AI NFTs

The AI x Blockchain collision seems to be accelerating these days. 

Many such drops. Hard to keep up. 

Here’s a visual tour of what’s next: 

EarlyGANs by Far

Link • March 12 • Bitcoin 

For the NFT archeologists looking for prehistoric AI images (aka ones made in 2018).

Dreamlike landscapes that give off “if M.C. Escher were in charge of Google Earth” vibes.

On These Streets by Andrea Ciulu

A mind-bending exploration from someone who grew up in Italy but had “artificial memories” of NYC stemming from hip hop culture. 

Memento Mori by Richard Nadler 

Link • March 18 • Bitcoin

For those looking for a reminder that life is less permanent than the blockchains these artworks are stored on. We wrote more words here.

Total Recall: All Clear by Thomas Noya 

Link • April 1 • Ethereum

Nightmare-fuel photos of Tom Cruise that show how our remix-obsessed culture is about to lose its collective mind in the age of AI. 

Future Skying by Sky Goodman

Link • April 8 • Ethereum

For those who want to wake up in what looks like a mid-2000s PlayStation RPG that never quite existed (but is nostalgic nonetheless).

NOTE: These drops are lightly curated. Our only requirement is that they have recognizable founders. As usual, DYOR. To learn more go here.

chromaware by p1xelfool

If you’re an RGB lights enjoyer, you’ll appreciate this upcoming Foundation exhibition by prolific computer artist p1xelfool.

It features a set of generative art pieces where pixel objects dressed in flashing lights dance hypnotically on a black canvas.

For GIF collectors.

ARCADEGEN by Timpers

Following Magic Eden’s recent marketplace launch on Ethereum, creators are already funneling into this royalty-respecting side of the market.

Among these is Timpers, the creator of the popular Chimpers PFP, now launching the ARCADEGEN edition.

This celebration of web3 culture features a bunch of characters from different collections, showcasing the artist’s distinctive pixel style while offering benefits to Chimpers upcoming gaming projects.

Velocity Series 2.0

Red Bull, Bybit and AOI are running it back after seeing the success of the first Velocity Pass last year and I, for one, am a bit intrigued.

While mint details are limited, mostly shared via Discord, we know that half of the supply will be a free mint for holders of the first pass, and that the new series will feature similar perks, including early access to mints and free art airdrops.

The first one was #26 on my list of top 2023 NFTs, in major part thanks to the surprisingly impressive artist roster, and I’m curious to see how they follow up.
