NiftyNoon: Grail Season

For October 3, 2022

Nifty Analysis

• Although the Azurian profile picture art was not well received, it is commendable to see founders take community feedback so quickly. Their decisive action to delay the Bored & Dangerous burn for these profile pictures was likely the correct one as they work with the community to create more universally accepted art.

• Although overall NFT volume is still relatively low, there is clearly still strong demand for high-end collectibles as demonstrated by the recent CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club sales. Many of these purchases are done using fresh ETH coming from either inactive wallets or central exchanges. As the sellers use their new earnings to purchase other NFTs, they begin to circulate this new liquidity into the broader NFT ecosystem. In this sense, everyone is a winner for these large NFT sales.

• Jenkins The Valet delays Azurian profile picture burn process following negative feedback on teaser art:

  Jenkins The Valet 🍌 Is Exploring Azurbala @jenkinsthevalet

  We see and hear all of your feedback to Azurians and will be opening up a space soon. We’ve always been guided by one principle which is to do right by our community members. This remains absolutely true today. The Azurbala you end up getting will be one that makes you proud.

  Jenkins The Valet 🍌 Is Exploring Azurbala @jenkinsthevalet

  We've decided to postpone the Bored & Dangerous burn due to feedback on the @azurbala PFPs. At @TallyLabsNFT, our goal has always been to do what's best for the community. We'll continue to do so. This is an opportunity to rethink our process and bring the community in earlier.
