One of the greatest scourges of NFT mania has been the
emergence of low-effort cash grabs Some are blatantly obvious
while some are harder to spot until it’s too late. I will go through
some examples and a case study so you can identify these in
future.
It is never fun or easy to write these threads. You must do the
research, gather information and be absolutely sure you get it
right when calling out projects. Having said that, the community
should absolutely do this to improve the space for us and future
participants.
So, what are the
typical hallmarks of
cash grab projects?
1. Low-effort art
repurposed / stolen
from cheap sources
2. Hyped launch
(twitter influencers),
large amount of
Sol collected then
community neglected
3. Vague promises
(“video game”)
4. Invite competitions
for whitelist.
The Saint EclecTIc
Red flag #1: Low-effort
art being repurposed.
We’ve seen some of this happen already with @solanabirbs and
@SolanaBullsNFT. People were quick to spot the repurposed
art and the projects have since suffered.

@PunksonSolana by @SolanartNFT is also another great
example of this.

The difference is
that
@PunksOnSolana
was used to
kickstart one
of the biggest
marketplaces on
Solana and it was
the first Sol mint to
sell out. You can
dislike the “low
effort art” but the
true art is in the code and historical significance of the project.
@sainteclectic Replying to @yellowfln
There is no cultural significance about Solpunks other than being
a barometer for bad taste. It is a straight rip of solpunks and run
as a cash grab project by Solanart, who have a track record of
doing these things. It has built no community. Accounts wash
trade solpunks.
@ShisoSlice Replying to @sainteclectic
Besides calling out, we can start to educate people to look out for
red flags for rugs or obviously shitty projects.
- High number of followers, but crap engagement.
- A really shitty website made with MS Paint.
- “Invite X people and stand a chance to win [some shit.]”

2877 holders on
6666 supply. A little
over 10% supply
listed. This has done
very well since mint.
Good luck hunting!

@RogueSharkTank
Due to the Fair Launch a
HUGE amount of unique
wallet address. 3657 of
4984. Almost 74%. Sadly
though 1564 are listed
for sale or just over
30%. Art is quality and
one of the most hyped
drops!

@NFTreesOnSol 3289
Holders of 10K supply. Not
great, but not bad. They are
listed on FTX as well so dig
in and see if you like the
TREES :)
@MechNFTs Saw many
people hyping this one
up but I did not look into
it too deep. We got the
data up so start digging in
and looking for your OWN
rares. Art is solid!

I like redistribution of royalties and no I don’t think it
makes NFTs a “security”. But overall they are only useful
and you should only keep them if your holders are making
at least .5 $SOL a week at minimum. If not just use them
to do stuff for the community and get on FTX.
@TurtlesNFT did the right thing by dropping royalties
from them. I’m not going to say how much they were
going to airdrop, but I think it was worth getting listed on
FTX over keeping royalty sharing.

“Choose your partner of the digital age” A tech-welcoming
future still requires companionship. Purchase a
full build, or purchase .ai parts to assemble/trade with
others to assemble your own custom ai partner. Solo
