What are some notable NFT projects on a pre-launch blockchain?<br><br>

By: blockbeats|2024/12/24 14:45:01

In the previous issue of the NFT Project Review (related reading: 8 New NFT Projects Worth Following Recently), we mainly highlighted some new opportunities on the Abstract chain. People may feel that the new projects on the Abstract chain are currently quite active, with many NFT content creators doing Twitter shoutouts, trying to take the lead in the whitelist war, making it increasingly difficult.

When the difficulty of obtaining whitelist spots not only increases for individual projects but for the entire ecosystem, the opportunity space naturally becomes compressed. In this article, we shift our focus beyond Abstract to primarily explore the growing presence of Monad NFT, complemented by the Story Protocol. What are the things worth paying attention to?

Monad NFT

First, go ahead and complete the whitelist task for @monadverse. Although there are only 100 whitelist spots available for task completion, if you don't even step out the door, you won't have a chance to get hit by the pie.

Aside from answering a favorite Monad NFT project, the tasks involve following, retweeting, and commenting on Twitter, which can be done in 5 minutes. (Portal)

For the next projects, NFT veterans should be familiar with what they need to do for the whitelist – crazy Twitter interactions and boosting presence on Discord. I won't go into detail on those; I'll just directly screen which ones are worth the effort. There's no need for lengthy explanations; it's just about high activity and passing the quality check in terms of materials.

Woolly Eggs (@WoollyEggs) - Abstract eggs, with a total supply of 5000.

lil chogstar (@chogstarrr) - A PFP series inspired by one of the important mascots in the Monad ecosystem, "Chog," whose popularity has already taken off. Here, you must participate in their whitelist lottery of 100 slots on Premint as well. (Portal)

Spiky Nads(@spikynads) - A pixel art-style Monad NFT, not too many around, this one looks good.

Motatoes(@Motatoes_) - Also in a pixel art style, giving off a Cryptodickbutt + potato vibe, but the total supply seems to be only 504.

B00(@theBooDAO) - The ghostly image is quite eye-catching, requires further observation, awaiting more information.

Story Protocol

Story Protocol has a strong funding background, with cases such as $PENGU and $VANA NFTs bringing lucrative token airdrops. The Story Protocol - Onchain Chronicles NFT series is seen as a potential proof of eligibility for receiving Story Protocol token airdrops. In the past half month, it has already increased fivefold, with the current floor price at around 0.05 ETH.

Apart from this series, since this is an IP chain, IP NFTs are naturally worth paying attention to. One currently worth watching is Globkins(@globkins). This NFT series has already sold out, but there is currently no secondary market for NFT trading.

Berachain

There have been numerous NFT projects on Bear Chain, many of which debuted on Arbitrum first. The hottest new project is undoubtedly steady teddys(@steadyteddys), where the off-chain whitelist is almost 1500U each, and it's now quite difficult to get into the whitelist.

Eclipse

This chain can be summarized in one sentence as "Solana on Ethereum," with its official NFT series called ASC (@asclubnft), which has now risen to around 0.6 ETH floor price.

The era of AI hype has transitioned into an era of utility. As we move through Q2 2026, the market is no longer rewarding "narrative-only" projects. At WEEX Research, we are seeing a massive capital rotation into Decentralized Compute (DePIN) and Autonomous Agent coordination layers. This guide analyzes which AI tokens are capturing institutional liquidity and how to spot high-conviction setups in a maturing market.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.

The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.

Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.

Simplified Trading Experience: No KYC Required, Opening a Position in Five Steps

Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.

The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:

· Choose the trading asset

· Select long or short

· Input position size and leverage

· Confirm order details

· Confirm and open the position

The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.

Social-Native Trading: Strategy and Execution Completed in the Same Context

Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:

· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members

· End-to-end encrypted voice communication

· One-click position sharing

· One-click trade copying

On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.

By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.

Referral Mechanism: Non-institutional users can receive up to 60% fee split

Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:

· Users can join with an invite code

· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards

· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings

This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.

Self-Custody Architecture and Built-in Privacy Mechanism

Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:

· Separation of transaction account and asset storage

· User full control over assets

· Platform does not custody user funds

· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure

The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.

A New Path for On-Chain Derivatives

Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.

The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.

Regulatory Background

Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.

This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."

The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.

About Mixin

Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.

Its core capabilities include:

· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations

· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets

· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries

· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
