The NFT market is not just limited to a single type or genre of NFTs. In fact, there are many different types or genres of NFTs, each with their unique characteristics and value propositions. This means that collectors and investors in the NFT market have a wide range of options to choose from when it comes to purchasing NFTs, depending on their interests, preferences, or investment goals. In the following section, we'll explore some of the most popular genres of NFTs and provide examples of each.
1. Branded NFTs
Branded NFTs are non-fungible tokens launched by companies or brands as a way to engage with their audience and provide them ways to own branded assets digitally. Examples include CloneX by RTFKT & Takashi Murakami, Into The Metaverse by Adidas, and UNDW3: The Emerge by Lacoste.
2. Profile Pictures (PFPs)/ Avatar NFTs
Profile picture NFTs, also known as PFP NFTs, are a sub-genre of collectible NFTs that represent unique digital avatar images used as profile pictures on social media or other digital platforms. Popular PFP projects include Azuki, Bored Ape Yacht Club and Pudgy Penguins.
3. One-of-one artwork NFTs
These NFTs represent digital art, including paintings, illustrations, and animations. One of the most popular examples of this genre is Beeple's "Everydays: The First 5000 Days," which sold for $69 million at a Christie's auction.
4. Generative art NFTs
Generative art NFTs are digital artworks created through computer algorithms and code. They are valuable due to their rarity and unique creation process. For example, CryptoPunks is a collection of 10,000 unique 8-bit characters, each generated algorithmically and representing a one-of-a-kind piece of digital art.
5. Collectible NFTs
These NFTs represent unique collectibles such as trading cards, stamps, rare items and even moments in history! A great example is the NBA Top Shot NFT collection, which represents unique video clips of NBA game highlights that can be owned and traded by collectors.
6. Photography NFTs
Photography NFTs are a type of non-fungible token that represents a unique digital ownership of a photographic image. An example is Twin Flames by Justin Aversano who is an established figure in the photography NFT scene and the founder of an NFT marketplace centered around photography-based NFTs called Quantum Art.
7. Music NFTs
Music NFTs represent a unique digital ownership of music and associated content, such as album artwork, lyrics, and exclusive experiences. These NFTs offer a new way for musicians to monetize their work, and for fans to own a unique and valuable digital asset. Some examples of Music NFTs by popular artists include the "Royal" album by DJ 3LAU and Snoop Dogg's B.O.D.R album (Born on Death Row).
8. Gaming NFTs
Gaming NFTs represent in-game assets and can be used to enhance gameplay or sold for real money. One of the most recognized examples in this genre is the game Axie Infinity, which has NFTs that represent creatures that players can use in the game for a variety of functions such as battling and breeding.
9. Ticketing NFTs
These NFTs represent a unique digital ownership of a ticket to an event, such as a concert, festival, or sporting event and offer a secure and transparent way for event organizers to sell and verify tickets, while allowing ticket holders to prove their ownership and the authenticity of the ticket. Examples of platforms focused on providing ticketing solutions include YellowHeart, which is an NFT marketplace which has worked with iconic artists such as Kings of Leon and Maroon 5.
