Cardano is a GREEN technology. Unlike most other NFT platforms, all Cardano NFTs, or CNFTs, are environmentally friendly. The Cardano Blockchain uses a proof of stake consensus, which basically means it doesn’t require very much computational power to mint an NFT.
Smart contract are just getting implemented. This means that much of the utility you see in NFTs on the ETH blockchain are being added to CNFT projects. Meaning getting in early on projects now could mean you will be holding a blue chip CNFT project later!
NO GAS FEES!
Very low prices. due to the fact that CNFT’s are new in the eco system and there are no gas fees CNFTs are considerably cheaper to mint and to purchase aftermarket.
Things to look for in a project.
1. Utility, UTiLity, UTILITY!!! If it doesn’t do something besides look pretty or be the first in some area its not worth investing in. Many CNFT’s come with the promise of future airdrops or free CNFTS for holders, access to special drops or products. Some even have a DEFI element which create passive income for the CNFT holder. Choose wisely and you can MINT a cash cow that pays you weekely just for owning it!
2. Large twitter and discord following. If they have a large community they will likely have a large resale market and thus longevity.
3. A team that shows it face on the website. Although this is rare this inspires confidence in a project in a space where “Rug Pulls” are rare but not uncommon.
4. Find and follow youtube CNFT experts. There are teenage MILLIONAIRES around the world who do NOTHING but research and make videos about projects they are going to buy. Let them do the research for you. (I’ve included 2 of my favorite CNFT youtubers below.)
5. Make sure the project has a policy ID.
Lastly, Have FUN! This is an amazing way to collect cutting edge art and technology as an investment. It’s not that serious but it can also make you rich…literally!
