If you&#8217;re new to the <strong>NFTs <\/strong>field, we&#8217;ll make your journey into this world even more exciting and help you understand the basics. Experienced crypto enthusiasts will also find great tips here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes an <strong>NFT project<\/strong> successful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even browsing through the many <strong>places to find hidden-gem NFT<\/strong>, you will not be able to spot a promising option if you do not know how to search. Here is a list of points you should pay attention to first of all when looking for another <strong>new NFT project:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First of all, the collection should be one of the most complex in terms of <strong>rarity <\/strong>(percent of unique images). The more different properties a character has, the better (or there should be several characters in the collection). Most collections have only a low rate of rarity images, and more than half of the images in such collections are similar to each other and are of little value. Information about the degree of <strong>rarity <\/strong>of the collection should be present on the <strong>NFT project<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The level of detail of the characters should exceed or be at the same point as the <strong>top<\/strong> <strong>NFT <\/strong>collections. The characters themselves should evoke positive emotions in <strong>NFTs <\/strong>collectors and other people. If someone sees an image and asks where to buy one, that&#8217;s a good sign! Preferably, the <strong>NFTs <\/strong>collection should be in 3D, it allows you to use <strong>NFTs <\/strong>in various creative contexts (for example, making character videos).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A community isn&#8217;t just the number of members on<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alphaguilty.io\/crypto-discords\"> <strong>Discord<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>or subscribers on social networks. As a rule, a community chat in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alphaguilty.io\/crypto-discords\">Discord<\/a> <\/strong>reflects the general vibe. If people are interested in the project, the authors, and the meanings &#8211; that&#8217;s good. If the community in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alphaguilty.io\/crypto-discords\">Discord<\/a> <\/strong>or social media is only interested in how to make money on resale &#8211; this is bad for the future of the <strong>new NFT project.<\/strong> Team members should communicate with the community (for example, in <strong>Discord<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not welcome to use scams, bots, and other automated means to increase hype around the project and <strong>NFT performance<\/strong>. It is better to try to create a natural growth of people&#8217;s interest in the<strong> upcoming NFT<\/strong> collection. If part of the community becomes a famous collector or a celebrity &#8211; this is very cool!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearly defined standards, charity, and creating some unique work are good examples of <strong>NFT projects&#8217; early<\/strong> values. At one time, this is exactly what distinguished the largest NFT projects of today. It&#8217;s cool when collection users get some additional features &#8211; for example, closed access to some content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also about the team, the project must reveal as much information about the participants as possible. It is incredibly cool when the profiles of the founders are stylized as the characters of the project. Be sure to check out all of the team members. If these artists have worked on well-known projects, that&#8217;s a definite plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to find good <strong>NFT projects early<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>NFT sector<\/strong> is one of the most popular and fastest growing in the crypto economy right now. The problem is that it can take a lot of effort to find promising <strong>NFTs <\/strong>projects. Crypto-enthusiasts spend their days on <strong>marketplaces <\/strong>and other resources waiting for a miracle. Now we will try to highlight some tips and tools you can use to optimize your search for the most prospective <strong>NFTs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of hype in <strong>NFT tracking and analytics<\/strong> is due to the fact that tokens are now interesting and more community-oriented than most other things, and a thoughtful buy on the mint or <strong>marketplace <\/strong>can bring huge profits. This powerful combination makes the hunt for cool <strong>various projects<\/strong> in the <strong>NFTs <\/strong>field very appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Where to start when you want to<strong> find good NFT projects<\/strong>? Here are some helpful hints that you should definitely consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some <strong>NFT projects<\/strong> are one-offs, but many others are building their first NFT collections with more long-term or incremental income opportunities. Either way, keep a close eye on the communities you&#8217;re interested in because by doing so, you&#8217;ll be one of the first to know important information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s a whole wave of new apps. The task of working with these apps is to find people who you think have great analytical skills in this area, and then, copy their actions. But in addition to these apps, you can go to social media to find out about interesting events and accidentally search for a <strong>new NFT project<\/strong> that will become a real gem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep an eye on trends. If you find a new trend and get a free mint early on, you&#8217;re probably going to make very good money. So wherever you see the <strong>NFT project<\/strong> narrative becoming a trend, there&#8217;s a tremendous amount of opportunity out there. Remember that even the <strong>largest NFT<\/strong> projects today once started from small.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you don&#8217;t need to look for <strong>upcoming NFTs<\/strong> giants such as blue chips. Very often you can just look for a new NFT project, and not have a firm opinion on whether you want to keep the token for a long time or try to make money right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to find the best <strong>NFT projects early<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly, the main tool for finding NFT collections, projects, and artists is Twitter. Most of all <strong>NFT projects<\/strong> start their way on Twitter. Also, there are a lot of sites with quality and selected information, so you can safely use them. Such resources allow you to keep track of news that concerns the whole NFT sphere and help you find information about most collections.Many well-known <strong>NFT projects<\/strong> use whitelists to manage their giveaways. So now it is often not enough just to find cool projects at an early stage, you also need to secure a place on the whitelist if you want to get tokens from good collections at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"687\" src=\"http:\/\/78.47.81.216\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-10.png 960w, https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-10-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-10-768x550.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for <strong>NFT calendars.<\/strong> More than a few sites offer <strong>NFT calendars<\/strong> where you can view upcoming developments in the area. Check them out just in case and you&#8217;re sure to find promising <strong>NFT projects early<\/strong>. You can also use Gem. This is a <strong>marketplace <\/strong>aggregator that was recently acquired by OpenSea. Nansen is also great for search purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to buy new <strong>NFT projects<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s best to shop on popular platforms, including Solanart, Rarible, SuperRare, or OpenSea. That way you can protect yourself as much as possible. To avoid becoming a victim of scammers in transactions with NFT projects, you should adhere to standard security measures and work only with verified objects of art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why do you need to be skilled at finding prospective NFT projects at an early stage?

But it\u2019s a reality, which has already come to transform the world and people\u2019s understanding of finance. Let\u2019s examine a case study of DeFi, the industry that is going against the traditional financial system step by step.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"78c1\"><strong>What is DeFi?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"cc88\">Decentralized finance, or DeFi, refers to the part of the crypto universe that aims to build a new, internet-native financial system. It utilizes blockchain and other web3 technologies to replace traditional intermediaries and deploy innovative trust mechanisms.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"37e7\">Each DeFi ecosystem consists of cryptocurrency, software and hardware to develop decentralized applications. The infrastructure for DeFi, as well as its regulation are constantly evolving.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"a0f2\"><strong>How DeFi emerged<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"245b\">It\u2019s believed that the term DeFi was invented in 2018 by Ethereum developers during a chat. However, some agree that it all began in 2009, with the introduction of Bitcoin, which was the first blockchain-based peer-to-peer currency in the world.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"1271\">Today\u2019s DeFi took off after 2017, when people began to understand the true blockchain\u2019s potential for the global economy. Developers wanted to enable cryptocurrency owners to do more with their money than just transferring it between accounts.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"9e0d\">It was the period when crypto lending, hedging, arbitrage, staking and other operations appeared. Pioneers who created the first lending protocols were MakerDAO and Compound Finance. Now their ideas are being deployed and improved by many other industry players.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"d083\"><strong>Conquering new users<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"1ea2\">As of today, approximately 4,8 million active wallets are into DeFi, which is twice as much compared to 2021, and the number of users is constantly increasing. However, DeFi is still not as widespread as traditional finance: as of 2022, three-quarters of all people on the Earth have accounts in traditional banks.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"80dd\">The main constraints are skepticism about crypto, lack of awareness and poor internet connectivity in some areas. At the same time, more and more crypto firms, such as 3air, see their goals to help users from underserved regions enter the digital economy.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"e2f9\"><strong>Why do people choose DeFi?<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"84ab\">The traditional centralized financial system, the main elements of which are banks and governments, cannot give users the true financial freedom and control over their own assets. So, various limitations, high fees and intermediaries are the main problems DeFi deals with.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"8b33\">DeFi empowers individuals with peer-to-peer digital exchanges, based on trust and blockchain protocols. It also eliminates the fees that banks and other financial companies charge for services.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"4565\">Individuals hold money in a secure digital wallet, can transfer funds in minutes, and anyone with an internet connection can use DeFi in any place in the world.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"ba65\"><strong><em>So, is DeFi the new era of finance?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"0045\">As for now, we can only witness how DeFi is evolving, improving its infrastructure and core principles, challenging and sometimes trolling the traditional financial world with innovations. It\u2019s not such an en masse trend now, however it has all chances to become something common for future generations.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p id=\"09f2\">Yes, DeFi is the new Fi for those users who have already connected to it and can feel all its advantages.

The rise of digital currencies has brought with it a surge in interest, innovation, and, unfortunately, cyber threats. Crypto enthusiasts embark on a quest for financial freedom, but this journey requires an essential companion: crypto wallet safety. In this article, we'll explore the critical aspects of wallet security and delve into the art of securing your crypto wallet for a safe and prosperous crypto journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Significance of Crypto Wallet Security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of your cryptocurrency wallet as a fortified online vault protecting your wealth. Security for your cryptocurrency wallet is how you can safeguard your digital assets, much as any intrepid explorer would secure their fortress. It's important to make sure that your wallet is protected against evil forces, not just that you own one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding Crypto Wallets<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1340,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"http:\/\/78.47.81.216\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Understanding-Crypto-Wallets-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Understanding Crypto Wallets\" class=\"wp-image-1340\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we dive into securing your crypto wallet, it's essential to understand the two primary types of crypto wallets:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Hot Wallets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: These are wallets connected to the internet, making them convenient for daily transactions. However, they are more vulnerable to cyberattacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cold Wallets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Cold wallets are offline storage solutions, such as hardware wallets or paper wallets. They are considered the most secure because they are not directly connected to the internet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Secure Your Crypto Wallet<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":1341,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"http:\/\/78.47.81.216\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Secure-Your-Crypto-Wallet-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"How to Secure Your Crypto Wallet\" class=\"wp-image-1341\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Choose the Right Wallet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The first step in securing your crypto wallet is selecting the right one. Research different wallet types and choose a reputable one known for its security features.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Use Strong Authentication<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to provide a second form of verification in addition to your password.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Secure Your Private Keys<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Your private keys are the keys to your crypto kingdom. Store them in a safe place, preferably offline. Hardware wallets offer a secure way to manage your private keys.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Update Regularly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Keep your wallet software up to date. Developers often release updates that patch security vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Beware of Phishing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Be cautious of phishing attempts, where attackers pose as legitimate entities to steal your wallet information. Always verify the authenticity of the websites and emails you interact with.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Backup Your Wallet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Regularly back up your wallet data in case of hardware failure or loss. Store backups in multiple secure locations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Encrypt Your Wallet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Enable encryption on your wallet to protect your funds from unauthorized access.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Use Strong Passwords<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Create strong, unique passwords for your wallet and change them periodically. Avoid using easily guessable passwords.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Practice safe browsing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Avoid visiting suspicious websites or clicking on suspicious links, as these can lead to malware infections that compromise your wallet security.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Stay informe<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d: Keep yourself updated about the latest security threats and best practices in the crypto world. Being informed is your best defense.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safe Wallet Crypto<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By understanding the importance of crypto wallet security and following best practices, you can navigate this exciting terrain with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that a secure cryptocurrency journey starts with selecting the correct wallet and continues with ongoing attention to detail and security precautions.
