There is Something More Than Just NFTs
We’ve heard crazy stories of people in the NFT community making crazy flips on Jpegs. After looking at how Bored Ape Yacht Club, Azuki, VeeFriends and Doodles form real communities and lately this NFT membership trend, do you still think that they are really just Jpegs? We are seeing more and more projects building utilities into their projects. And of the commonly used ones are providing membership. In the previous year, NFTs have progressed significantly, and they may now be used as keys to gaining admission to private social groups and networks.

NFT Mint Passes
Back in the early days, members of the community had to “grind” for whitelist, the trend is shifting and NFT projects no longer want users to grind whitelist by leveling up on the chats. You have to contribute much more than before, in order to have a chance to get whitelisted and subsequently mint for the project’s NFT. We’ve been noticing a lot of mint passes popping up on OpenSea. What are NFT mint passes? These mint passes allow users to participate and mint NFTs. A mint pass allows a user to mint a certain number of NFT as a whitelisted member before the public sale.
If you do not have the luck to win or work your way into the whitelist, you could purcahse a mint pass and still get discount on mints. These mint passes are usually given to holders who already own the NFT projects and get a mint pass to mint the next and they can choose to sell these passes on the secondary market. Which acts as a utility as being in a holder of the NFT project. Do note that at the time of writing, some projects would have already mint and these mint passes serve as references only.
Below are a list of Mint Passes examples.
