How to find your next NFT.
NFT’s are exciting, but how do you find upcoming projects and also spot which ones are going to be worth purchasing?
Let us share some valuable steps in order to give you confidence before buying your next NFT.
Upcoming Projects
There are many ways you can come across upcoming projects, from social media, upcoming mint calendars, discord servers and marketplace launchpads.
Upcoming Calendars
Upcoming calendars are a great and easy way to see the latest projects launching soon. Here are just a few;
HowRare.is — Upcoming Drops
NFTCalendar.io— Todays Drops
Upcoming NFT — Upcoming Events
On these websites you will find information such as mint date, price, supply and a brief description of the upcoming projects.
Social Media
Twitter is buzzing with NFT mania & there are many influencers in the space that share projects they like. There are also NFT accounts that post upcoming projects and you can see the engagement each project gets to potentially spark your interest. Here are some twitter accounts to follow, including our own :)
@SolMintDaily — Updates on Solana mints happening today. DYOR.
@nftcapitaluk — “Ones to Watch” every Sunday pm!
Marketplace Launch Pads
Launchpads can sometimes be a safer place to mint NFT’s rather than the projects own process.
Magic Eden — The launchpad on ME is extremely popular for Solana NFT’s and has been the go to place to mint some of the biggest projects.
Discord Servers
Discord is a fantastic place to discover new NFT projects and meet new people.
r/NFT — With over 95k members, r/NFT is one of the most active discord servers with like minded people discussing and sharing everything NFT.
“Ive found the one !”
Once you have come across a project that looks a bit of you, theres a few more steps you should take in order to make sure the project is right for you and also to avoid potential scams.
Artwork
The artwork of an NFT collection alone can be enough to invest into. Many projects have long roadmaps with future utility and holder benefits being worked on by the devs & communities. But if you’re happy to give back to an artist for their creation and show off your NFT on your socials i’m sure they would appreciate it.
Utility
NFT’s can come with mind blowing utilities for holders, from P2E gaming in the metaverse, staking or even profit sharing revenue streams. You can read about passive income through holding NFT’s in our article here;

Be sure to read the roadmap and/or white-papers of the collection and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Community
Community driven projects can be the most rewarding NFT collections to be involved in. Holders of these NFTs can participate in DAO voting and be apart of the direction the community funds are invested or spent. Most recently the Dazed Ducks community voted to spend some of the funds on a Billboard in NYC Times Square! Being part of communities can also give exclusive access to hangouts and private parties.
Developers
The developers of an NFT project can mean everything, try to find out who they are, have they revealed themselves on social media? What other projects, successes or failures have they been involved in before? Are they active and how do they respond to questions and concerns from the community?
Conclusion… DYOR.
It can be overwhelming to learn everything there is to know about NFT’s when you begin your journey, but we hope we have highlighted some of the best places to explore and things to consider.
It is important to Do Your Own Research when deciding to invest into a NFT project to avoid any potential disappointment from scams and rug pulls.
