For many airdrop hunters, simply "farming" has lost its cost-effectiveness. In addition to tedious tasks, the uncertainty of time and money costs, there is also the risk of being "witch-hunted." In contrast, NFT ambush has become a more attractive airdrop gaming strategy. As more and more crypto projects lock airdrop targets to NFT holders, especially with the substantial returns from some successful cases, the market demand for equity NFTs with potential airdrop expectations has surged, driving their floor prices continuously upward. For project teams, leveraging NFT airdrops not only allows for low-cost marketing but also effectively attracts more users to participate, enhancing the project's exposure and popularity.

This article by PANews reviews seven popular equity NFTs that are backed by high-financing projects, most of which have not issued tokens. From a value perspective, many NFTs have already undergone actual value empowerment. Moreover, stimulated by airdrop expectations, several issued NFTs have achieved significant price increases.

Sign: Seeing Signs NFT

Seeing Signs NFT is the official NFT of the token distribution infrastructure Sign. Sign launched the minting event for Seeing Signs NFT in January this year and subsequently destroyed NFTs involved in unfair minting, announcing the repurchase of some NFTs to distribute to the community.

According to OpenSea data, as of February 21, the floor price of Seeing Signs NFT exceeded 2 ETH, rising over 900% from the minting price (0.2 ETH), with a total trading volume of approximately 362 ETH. Notably, the floor price of Seeing Signs NFT once surpassed that of the leading NFT project Azuki. However, Sign CEO Xin Yan emphasized that the positioning of this NFT series is as a community-exclusive honor badge and not for public sale, advising against blindly following trends before seeing official signals from the project.

It is reported that Sign was established in 2022 and recently announced it has raised $16 million in financing. Currently, Sign has accumulated over $28.65 million in three rounds of financing, with investors including YZi Labs, Hack VC, Amber Group, Animoca Brands, HashKey Capital, Sequoia China, Sequoia Capital, NGC Ventures, GBV Capital, and Matrixport Ventures.

Kaito AI: Kaito Genesis NFT

Kaito Genesis NFT is a series of 1,500 NFTs launched by the crypto search engine KaitoAI, which has officially snapshot NFT holders to allocate 15% of the airdrop pool and collectively hold 50% of the voting rights. Currently, Kaito has opened the airdrop, with NFTs and Yaps receiving a 10% airdrop of the token supply.

However, due to the airdrop scale being lower than community expectations and favorable outcomes, the price of Kaito Genesis has significantly dropped. The latest data from NFTPrice Floor shows that as of February 21, the floor price of Kaito Genesis NFT reached 2.42 ETH, up 2320% from the minting price (0.1 ETH), but it has fallen over 50.4% in the past 24 hours, with a total transaction volume exceeding 16,000 ETH.

Kaito AI has publicly secured two rounds of financing, totaling $10.8 million, with the latest valuation around $87.5 million, and participating institutions including Dragonfly, Mirana Ventures, Sequoia China, Folius Ventures, Caladan, Superscrypt, and Spartan Group.

MegaETH: The Fluffle

On February 15, Ethereum L2 solution MegaETH recently announced the launch of the soul-bound NFT series The Fluffle, with a total of 10,000, and a whitelist price of 1 ETH. NFT holders enjoy rights including a future 5% token distribution. However, this sale sparked significant controversy in the community, being accused of being a disguised ICO. In response, MegaETH recently announced adjustments to the minting rules for NFT The Fluffle, adopting a random draw (RNG) system. On February 13, MegaETH announced that 5,000 of these NFTs (minting price of 1 ETH) had sold out, raising 4,960 ETH, worth over $13.1 million.

MegaETH has secured $30 million in financing, with investors including Dragonfly, Robot Ventures, Figment Capital, Big Brain Holdings, Folius Ventures, and Vitalik Buterin.

0G Labs: One Gravity

One Gravity is the first PFP NFT series of the 0G ecosystem, with technical support provided by 0G, totaling 1,888 pieces, currently in the whitelist phase.

0G is a modular AI blockchain with a scalable programmable DA layer suitable for AI dApps. 0G has secured $70 million in public financing, with investors including Hack VC, Delphi Digital, OKX Ventures, Samsung Next, Bankless Ventures, Animoca Brands, Alliance DAO, and Delphi Digital.

OpenSea: Gemesis

Gemesis is a limited edition NFT series released by OpenSea Pro, which users could mint for free. Recently, OpenSea announced the upcoming launch of the SEA token and the OS2 open beta version, introducing an XP points system, with 49,785 Gemesis NFT holders gaining early access to the OS2 platform after the snapshot. It is speculated that accumulating these points may lead to token rewards. However, due to the mechanism being accused of fostering wash trading and neglecting builder contributions, OpenSea suspended the airdrop reward system.

Data from NFTPrice Floor shows that as of February 21, the floor price of Gemesis reached 0.04 ETH, rising nearly 55.9% over 30 days.

OpenSea is one of the leading NFT trading platforms, having raised over $420 million in its last five rounds of financing, with the most recent Series C round raising $300 million at a valuation of $13.3 billion, with investors including Paradigm, Tiger Global, a16z, Coatue Management, 1confirmation, Standard Crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Blockchain Capital, Animoca Brands, and Blockchain Capital.

On February 14, the NFT project Doodles officially launched its token $DOOD and plans to issue it on the Solana chain, with a total supply of 10 billion, of which 30% is allocated to the Doodles community. As a result of the token launch, Doodles' NFT trading volume significantly increased during this period.

Data from NFTPrice Floor shows that as of February 31, the floor price of Doodles reached 3.71 ETH, with trading volume increasing nearly 144.2% in the past seven days.

Doodles raised $54 million in 2022 at a valuation of $704 million, with investors including Seven Seven Six, FTX Ventures, 10T Holdings, and Acrew Capital.

Linea: Memenomics NFT

On February 19, Linea announced that it would issue Memenomics NFT at 10:00 AM Beijing time on February 20, inspired by the article "Memenomics: The Economy of Memes," showcasing some of Linea's well-known Memecoins, including Foxy, CROAK by Efrogs, and Ethereum Frogs. However, the official stated that this NFT focuses on honoring MEME culture and community spirit, unrelated to Linea's TGE (Token Generation Event).

Data from Element shows that as of February 21, the floor price of Memenomics NFT was 0.054 ETH, with a total trading volume of 19 ETH.
