I believe the most promising NFT project is
@normiesART .
Financially (this is just my personal opinion, not financial advice, DYOR) and historically, I think it has the potential to become one of the most important projects in the space.
To explain why, I’d like to compare it with
@cryptopunks .
CryptoPunks ignited the NFT movement because it pioneered the generative PFP format and sparked an entirely new artistic movement. At first, only the nerds understood it. It took a long time to mint out. Many people had the chance to mint but didn’t. Those who did were true technology enthusiasts with a collector’s mindset. They understood the significance of CryptoPunks before almost everyone else.
Many OG holders never sold their Punks, and the community kept growing. Over time, more people recognized their importance. Today, CryptoPunks live in the wallets of some of the world’s most influential collectors and in the permanent collections of major museums and galleries. They’re now widely recognized as one of the true grails of digital art.
I see NORMIES following a remarkably similar path.
Today, it’s a project primarily understood by the nerds because beneath the surface is a carefully engineered system built by
@serc1n and
@YigitDuman . NORMIES is the first project to combine NFTs with AI agents to create programmable canvases. It also turns holders into active participants in the creative process, making the collection dynamic while its deflationary mechanics help it remain compelling over time.
I still believe most people don’t fully understand the technical innovation behind NORMIES.
Yet even at this early stage, NORMIES is already finding its way into the wallets of major collectors and the permanent collections of museums. That’s why its trajectory reminds me so much of CryptoPunks. My expectation is that, over time, more collectors and institutions will add NORMIES to their collections, allowing it to grow into something far bigger than most people imagine today.
Being here to witness the beginning of the NORMIES story, and being part of this community, feels incredibly exciting.
