This hand-picked list of the best NFT projects to invest for 2022, is chosen based on certain criteria’s. At the bottom of this article are present all the factors we considered for choosing them.
* Bored Ape Metaverse Land ‘Otherside’
( get it HERE )
We all know that one of the most successful NFT projects is BAYC. The next big thing that is coming from this team is “Otherside”. It is a Metaverse project that is massively funded and most expected by every blockchain enthusiast. So much so, that all the land in the Metaverse got sold out in a few hours and breaking the entire Ethereum chain itself due to the massive trade volume. Many institutional VCs and celebrities have invested in the project. And the total number of available land is limited. The game play is expected to launch in a few weeks. Once it goes live, there will be extreme bidding by big companies to setup their presence in here. The community and team behind the project are super experienced with deep pockets 👌.
Some of the land parcels have extremely rare artifacts hidden inside, that will have many perks when the project is launched. For ex: the below land has the ‘Super Box’ artifact, that will provide extraordinary super power to characters in the game. Once the Metaverse is launched, we can expect the price to shoot up like BAYC or even more!
* SandBox

Considered one the Blue Chip NFT collections, SandBox is a Metaverse backed by many multi-million dollar NFTs. It is infact considered one of the top rivals for Meta ( formally Facebook ). Everyday we see news of a celebrity or a multi-national brand buy land inside here. All the land parcels inside are limited and sold out already. The company is so cash rich, that they are funding other Crypto initiatives with huge grants and funds. The developer and player ecosystem in Sandbox is big and active. The project has many modules and marketplaces etc. functioning within that are way to much to discuss in this article. The company will be launching its game in a few weeks, which can make the land parcels price go sky high.
6. Girlies NFT
( get it HERE )
This NFT project is the recent talk of the town. One of the biggest factors supporting this collection is a incredible Art. Girlies is a collection of 10,000 hand drawn illustrations. Each one is very unique and has excellent attention to detail. Its drawn by a 14 year old girl. If this collection manages to become a hit, it has all the potential to become the next ‘World of Woman’. The NFT project has a rapidly growing trading volume so far ( 3600 ETH ). Also there seems be very good daily trading activity happening. Seems some of the proceeds will be donated to charities that support girls.
* Keys to the Metaverse
( get it HERE )
This collection of 10K generative art NFTs have many interesting things to it. For starters, they will be launching on the top 10 blockchains. The team behind the project aims to launch 1000 on each of the blockchains ( Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Tron, ICP etc.). Named ‘Keys to the Metaverse’ the project has some uniquely satisfying features. Each of the machine generated artwork portray a KEY that has an animal head on end & a set of unique traits on the other end. The vision of the project is to make all the 10K unique NFTs cross-chain. Also the entire collection will be having an open secure API layer so any application or game can integrate the NFTs in their project as per their innovation.
This is one of the best NFT projects to buy for 2022, for the following reasons:
- Each of the Key’s have so many different traits and properties to it. And if some application is integrating the collection based on these traits, the outcome can be something amazing. Thus increasing the demand for these quickly.
- Since the NFTs are launched across all the major blockchains, it will leverage the community present in each of the chains.
- Also since the NFTs will be cross chain, we will see a lot of movement of the NFTs across chains soon.
* Decentraland

This is a very famous project with already millions of users using it actively. It is a virtual world entirely on the Blockchain. People get to choose their avatars and roam about freely in this Metaverse. You can buy land inside Decentraland and build anything there. Many build houses, estates, exhibition centers etc. in the land they own inside. The Land ( parcels ) you own in DCL is an NFT. This NFT can be traded outside DCL on any marketplace.
All the land in DCL is already taken and is rising rapidly in price. Infact many people from countries like South Korea, Thailand etc. are already planning a future with the land they own here. The land you own in DCL earns you revenue in the following ways: Rental income, Sale income as the land appreciates in value, promoting your products and other NFTs to the visitors that come to your building on the land. DCL land parcels are selling hot in marketplaces like Opensea. It is one of the best NFT projects and Tokens to Buy for 2022.
* Axie Infinity
( get it HERE )
This is a famous blockchain game already played by millions globally. Infact many people play this game as a full time job to earn a living. Playing Axie Infinity one can earn 3 types of items. One the games governance tokens AXS, which is already selling at $140 at the time of updating this article. The company has also recently launched a feature to stake these tokens. The second item is SLP ( Smooth Love Potion ) that users purchase inside the game to feed the little monsters. The price of SLP has also trading at $0.093 per token. Third item is the NFT collectible ie. the Axies. These NFTs are actively traded on NFT marketplaces like Opensea. There are 283.8K items listed in Opensea at the time of updating this article.
These can be one of the best NFT projects to buy and invest in 2022. Simply because these NFTs have a purpose behind it ie. can be used to play and earn. Also in future the company can innovate on top of these NFTs which will only increase the price in the coming days. Like how the Krypto kitties was hot in 2017, the Axie infinity collectables are for sure going to stay for long. MOre than just being a piece of art, these NFTs are more dynamic in nature which makes them stand out from the rest.
* Enjin
Ok, this is not an NFT exactly. The Enjin project aims to provide a cross-chain blockchain platform for developers to develop and deploy their E2P games on. The platform also makes it easy for developers to convert their in-game assets into NFTs. The Enjin coin backs the NFT’s so they can be sold and traded out in the real world or on any exchange. Whenever an NFT is minted here, it is infused with certain amount of Enjin tokens, which are then burnt from circulation. The most interesting feature we noticed is the ‘melting’ functionality, wherein the NFT owners can any point of time destroy their assets and retrieve the equal value in Enjin coins.
Enjin token can be one of the best NFT projects to Buy for 2022, as it derives its value from all the NFTs it backs inside its platform. So investing in this token equates to collectively investing in all the Non-fungible tokens created on the entire ecosystem.
* Rouge Sharks
( get it HERE )
We have reserved this spot for NFTs that are pure fun with a purpose. Also the ones that have just launched and kicking. Rouge Sharks is a collection 5000 random generative art 3D NFTs. The team backing it has been on fire even before launch. They have built a vibrant community around the concept on social media. The entire collection is minted on the Solana blockchain. At the time of writing this, around 1500 of the total NFTs have been listed on Solana ART marketplace that has been traded for ~60K SOL. Very impressive viral growth the project has achieved. In this momentum, the project easily become like the next BAYC collection on Solana blockchain. So it is one of the best NFTs to Buy for 2022.
Owners of the NFT’s will get exclusive access to the ‘Rouge Sharks’ club. Also they will be able to participate in the ‘Treasure Chest’ lotteries.
* Moshi Moshi
( get it HERE )
There is always craze for cute cat like images on the internet. Moshi Moshi is yet another cute art collection. The artwork across the project is steady and overloaded with cuteness. The NFT project sports 8000 squishy Japanese style cat art. The community seems to love it, as we already see 2900 ETH worth trade volume. The team behind the collection also has a decent roadmap for the project. They speak about a Mochiverse that holders of the NFTs will enjoy access to. If they can come up with such a Metaverse, the project has huge scope. The daily transaction and activity looks to be strong. Also as part of the roadmap, the project looks to create more partnerships, launch Mochi merchandise and provide their community with various perks as being pert of the DAO. This is for sure one of the best NFT projects to buy and invest in 2022.
Before diving into the specifics of the best NFT projects to invest for 2022, lets take a minute to understand on what basis we have selected the following projects:
- Cost factor: The aim is to catch those projects that are about to take off. That has high return potential in the near future. So we have decided to choose those NFT projects that are economically viable to buy. Which means we will be leaving out the costly ones like Cryptopunks, BAYC etc.
- Sentimental value: There is a famous saying “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”. Just a glance at the NFT crypto art should give a sort of a unique feeling that pushes to own it. This is what will create the demand. So we will concentrate a lot on the sentimental value of the NFT token.
- Story: Be it the most innovative technology or the most beautiful art, nothing works better than a strong story supporting it. As story sells. We looked for NFT projects that have a good storyline backing it.
Future plans: While most of the NFT tokens concentrate more on the engineering and pictorial values, we look forward for the roadmap in the project. Beyond the obvious things each Non-fungible token has, the future plans play an important role to choose the best NFTs to Buy of 2022.
- Traits: When it comes to NFT’s, the traits and properties of each NFT is very important. Not now, but for the future. The more innovative and myriad of traits a project has, the more it can be used by many other platforms in the future. Thus adding a lot of value to the NFT tokens.
Industry News:
( updated May 27, 2022 )
Recently, comedian Seth Green’s Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT and a few other NFTs were stolen from his wallet. The following day, he tweeted that he was a victim of the Phishing attack where four of his NFTs were stolen, list of NFTs that he lost included some of the Popular NFTs for sale, Bored Ape Yacht Club BAYC NFT #8398, two Mutant Apes #9964 and #19182, and a Doodle #7546. He requested everyone through a tweet that no one should buy till he figures out how he can get back the NFT. Green mentioned that he fell victim to the phishing attack while trying to mint a GutterCat Clone NFT, it all went wrong when he realised that the site he was trying to mint was a fake one. Before he realised, he had already given the site access to his wallet and the NFTs were taken from it. Phishing employs complex social engineering techniques to dupe the user into clicking on a link that then takes them to a website where their fiat currency or cryptocurrency or NFTs are stolen.
Green was in the middle of producing a TV show that was created around the NFTs he owned. The concept of the show involved explaining how his NFTs would be used to give him access to certain services and privileges that came along with owning the NFTs. It was created to show how owning a digital asset was easy and safe (Ironically). It’s uncertain whether he’d still be able to go through with creating the rest of the show as the NFTs are needed to demonstrate the features. Yuga Labs, the company that created the Bored Ape Yacht Club & Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFTs have broad licensing rules for the usage of individual NFTs. The company said that the NFT offers the holder an unlimited fair usage, it allows them to share the artwork, the license also allows the holder to create a derivative work based on the artwork of Bored Ape Yacht Club & Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFTs. In a blogpost on the Yuga Labs website, it says that the holder has complete access to the NFT and the artwork that is associated with the particular NFT in its entirety. The technicality that prevents Green from creating rest of the show is that since the secondary buyer who purchased from the hacker now owns the rights to the NFT and can choose to sue Green.
