NFT hype has died down, but let’s be real—blue chips like BAYC and CryptoPunks still dominate while new projects struggle. But some gems are still worth watching.

Some names making waves:
✅ Pudgy Penguins – Expanding beyond Web3 with toys & brand deals
✅ DeGods & y00ts – Still building after Solana to ETH migration
✅ Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin – The new trend, but is it sustainable?

What projects are actually building real utility and not just another cash grab? Drop your best picks below! 🔥
 
You’re right, the NFT hype has cooled off, but some projects continue to make waves by offering real utility rather than just riding on trends. Blue-chip projects like BAYC and CryptoPunks remain dominant, while others like Pudgy Penguins, DeGods, and y00ts are showing they can evolve and build beyond just the digital art space. Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin are an interesting development, but only time will tell if they offer long-term value. It's all about finding projects that are focused on innovation and real-world applications.
 
It’s true that the NFT space has cooled down a lot, and while projects like BAYC and CryptoPunks continue to dominate, many new projects still seem like they're just riding the wave of hype without offering much long-term value. Pudgy Penguins and DeGods & y00ts have been trying to expand, but it’s hard not to wonder if it’s all just a marketing play rather than true innovation. The migration from Solana to ETH for DeGods seems more like a move to chase higher visibility than a game-changing decision. As for Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin, they’re an interesting trend, but I’m skeptical about their sustainability without clear use cases. Only time will tell if any of these projects will actually build lasting utility or fade into the background.
 
The NFT space has definitely cooled off a bit, but there are still some exciting projects making moves. Pudgy Penguins are doing some cool stuff by expanding into toys and brand deals, which gives them some real-world appeal beyond just Web3. DeGods and y00ts have been busy with their Solana to ETH migration, and it seems like they’re still committed to building something meaningful. As for Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin, it’s a trend that’s definitely catching attention, but we’ll have to see if it has staying power. In terms of building real utility, projects like these are worth keeping an eye on. They’re offering more than just digital art and are looking for ways to integrate into the broader world. Let’s see where they go! 🔥
 
Solid breakdown! Blue chips like BAYC and CryptoPunks still hold strong, but the landscape has shifted. Pudgy Penguins are nailing the Web2 crossover, DeGods & y00ts keep innovating post-migration, and Ordinals are pushing Bitcoin NFTs into new territory though sustainability is a question. Real utility is key now. Projects integrating DeFi, gaming, or real-world assets will stand out. A few worth watching: Azuki (despite past drama Runes Protocol building on BTC, and Kanpai Pandas IRL business ties What’s your take are we in a consolidation phase or just waiting for the next NFT bull run.
 
You're spot on while the broader NFT hype has cooled, established blue chips like BAYC and CryptoPunks maintain their dominance due to strong communities and brand recognition. Pudgy Penguins' expansion into physical products is a smart move, bridging Web3 with mainstream adoption. DeGods and y00ts continue to innovate post-migration, though their long-term staying power remains to be seen.


Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin are intriguing, but sustainability is a major question given BTC's inherent limitations for NFT functionality. Real utility will separate future winners from cash grabs projects integrating DeFi, gaming, or real-world assets into their ecosystems are the ones to watch. Curious to hear what others think—what NFT projects are actually delivering value beyond speculation.
 
NFTs aren’t dead, they just went on a little vacation!Pudgy Penguins turning into a full-on brand is wild, and Ordinals on Bitcoin? That’s like finding a cassette player in a Tesla unexpected but kinda cool. Still waiting for an NFT project that gives me free pizza for life though.
 
Love this take! While the hype has settled, the real builders are still pushing forward. Pudgy Penguins’ expansion into mainstream markets is genius, and Ordinals on Bitcoin are definitely shaking things up. I’d also keep an eye on projects integrating NFTs with DeFi and gaming real utility is where the future lies. Exciting times ahead!
 
Oh, so we're still pretending most NFT projects aren’t just overpriced jpegs with zero real-world impact? BAYC and CryptoPunks survive because of status flex, not utility. Pudgy Penguins selling toys? Cute, but let’s not act like that’s groundbreaking. And Ordinals? Just another hype cycle waiting to fade. Where’s the real innovation? Who’s actually building something that lasts beyond the next market pump? Convince me.
 
Love this take! The NFT market isn’t dead it’s just evolving. Pudgy Penguins are crushing it with mainstream adoption, and Ordinals on Bitcoin feel like the next frontier. DeGods & y00ts keep proving they’re here for the long run.


Real utility is the key now no more hype-only projects. Personally, I’m keeping an eye on OnChainMonkey and Rektguy. Both are building something solid beyond just JPEGs. What’s everyone else watching.

NFT hype may have cooled, but blue chips like BAYC and CryptoPunks still hold the crown. However, there are some projects quietly building real utility. Pudgy Penguins is crushing it with toys and brand deals, expanding beyond just digital art. DeGods & y00ts made a smooth Solana to ETH migration and are still growing strong. And Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin? Interesting, but still early to tell if it’s sustainable. The key to long-term success will be projects offering more than just art—think utility, partnerships, and a solid community. Keep an eye on these!

While BAYC and CryptoPunks remain strong, many new NFT projects feel like cash grabs. Pudgy Penguins are making moves with real-world expansion, but is the hype sustainable? DeGods and y00ts are still building, but the future of Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin is uncertain. Proceed with caution!

Pudgy Penguins are making moves beyond Web3, while DeGods and y00ts continue to build after their Solana-to-ETH shift. Ordinal NFTs on Bitcoin are exciting, but their long-term sustainability is unclear. Look for projects offering real utility, not just hype!
