Tier List: NEW NFT Collections 2026
While continuing to track the NFT market and the new founders emerging in the space, I couldn’t ignore the project @heyshellmates
The project minted at 0.003 ETH and is now trading around 0.0175 ETH (6x).
This isn’t just another PFP collection - in the future, they plan to implement a pet-growing mechanic where you’ll log in every day and level up your pet if you hold a Shellmate NFT
It’s basically a mini-game where, over the course of 60 days, you’ll need to feed and take care of your pet, and after that you’ll be able to mint it
I’m really interested to see how this whole mechanic works in practice - it sounds genuinely fun and refreshing.
The founder himself, @Ty0xide , currently holds 163 NFTs and continues accumulating more
Supply: 4444
Royalty: 5% - which feels healthy and sustainable for the market.
Hopefully the founder won’t abandon the project, but instead continues building long-term, introducing interesting mechanics, and developing the ecosystem with dedication.
I think in the current NFT market, it’s important to pay attention to new founders who are gradually building their communities and products every single day - rather than projects that launch only to profit from the mint and collect royalties.
Tier List: NFT Collections 2026
I’ve been watching the latest NFT launches, and we can all see that most of them are launching simply to catch the hype wave currently happening in the ETH NFT market
At the same time, I see people forgetting about projects that already finished their mint and choosing not to join them anymore - but the founders are still there, continuing to build and evolve, which ends up delivering great results for holders of those collections
Another point I want to make:
For those who only mint and constantly jump into new projects - remember that sometimes it’s worth following strong founders
They can bring you much more value in the long run than chasing small short-term profits
This list is based only on NEW projects from recent months. Of course, you could make a broader list including all NFT projects and BLUE-CHIPS, but this discussion is focused exclusively on NEW PROJECTS
S Tier:
@normiesART - A breath of fresh air in terms of innovation and approach within the market - different mechanics, ecosystem scaling, and overall execution
In my previous posts, I’ve already talked a lot about @serc1n , so I’ll keep this one short
Everything looks extremely promising, and this is only the beginning
I highly recommend taking time to explore all the mechanics and future plans if you’re not familiar with them yet
A Tier:
Collections that continue to build and also have strong aesthetics and a distinct 2022-style vibe:
@DedGorgez@FlorentinesNFT@GoblynzNFT@giraffies_nft
A few words about @MichaelHirsch - someone who builds every single day. The launch of The Slops Machine ($SLOP) is coming soon, and I’m really curious to see both the mechanics and how the market values it. If everything aligns well, it looks very promising compared to $uPeg / $SATO
B Tier:
Ten Thousand Tokens by @token_works
I actually didn’t want to place this project in B Tier - I would even consider A Tier. The biggest question is how viable launching personal tokens on ETH will be going forward and whether the V4 meta continues gaining traction. That said, the project has a strong founder behind it - @Rhynotic - and the art was created by @jackbutcher
If the ETH market continues performing well and token demand remains strong, the FP of this NFT collection could rise significantly again.
Pixel Pups - @OxSimpleFarmer
Another founder bringing something unique and interesting to the market through @ClutchMarkets , but not receiving broad support yet
There are two possibilities here: either the project is undervalued, or the founder may need to adjust the approach
Congrats on the launch of $PUCUP and the new experiment. The NFT collection supply also remains relatively small (1,123), and the FP is holding surprisingly strong
C Tier:
@D3lMundos - An ART project that reignited excitement in the NFT market at the beginning of 2026, but hasn’t received enough support from new holders
Even so, FP remains around 0.046 despite mint and secondary prices previously being almost free
Some downsides:
• 10% royalties remain quite high for an NFT project
• Holders stopped receiving many WL opportunities
• Future plans for the community are unclear (or maybe I missed them)
There’s a chance something is being prepared behind the scenes, but I couldn’t confidently evaluate the upside.
Still, considering how long the project was built before launch, I doubt they’ll stop here - Del Mundos could still surprise.
D Tier:
Projects that are extremely fresh like @unipixnft - still too early to understand where they’re heading. ATH was 0.06, current FP around 0.016.
Also @freaksone1 - a free mint project that continues building with agents and a game ecosystem, although I haven’t explored it deeply enough yet.
That’s my breakdown of recent NFT launches.
Most of these projects already have plans, roadmaps, and established communities.
I want to wish all of them success because the NFT market isn’t built only on blue - chips - it’s also driven by new founders and new ideas proving that:
NFT = NOT DEAD
Post written by me - @BodenhonCrypto
Tell me: which new project did I miss, and what do you think about this ranking?
Normies +54%
Over the past few days, @normiesART have grown and reached 0.51 ETH
The chart looks very attractive and the next resistance is 0.7 ETH-0.8ETH
Zombies / Arena / Pixel Market is waiting for us next
Also @AdamWeitsman burned a huge amount, thus strongly supporting the project, and the supply is now 7,854 - I wonder if we can go lower?!
ATH NORMIES 0.64 at ETH = $2000
NOW NORMIES 0.51 ETH = ETH = $1600
- Now Supply is less
- ETH is cheaper
- More events are waiting for us
Think for yourself, is it cheap now or expensive By the way, you can track the charts on this great tool

Normies Agent
@normiesART
I’m still trying to fully understand Agent technology combined with NFTs, how it can actually be useful for people, and what can eventually be built on top of it.
Of course, I’ve been discussing it with GPT to better understand the possibilities and think deeper about the future of this technology.
Can Agents eventually be used for:
Trading
Arbitrage
Useful crypto analytics and information
In reality, Agents can probably integrate almost any function that someone with deep crypto experience can imagine.
As I understand it, you could potentially train your Agent to trade on your behalf across different markets - NFTs, DEXs, and more.
The Agent could execute trades based on a predefined strategy, handle transactions automatically, and use your ETH to interact with markets if the algorithm detects profitable opportunities.
NFTs stop being just pictures and become AI assistants.
They could:
analyze markets,
find profitable opportunities,
track whales,
warn about risks,
search for arbitrage,
evaluate NFTs,
and eventually even trade autonomously.
Access to tools could also be tied directly to NFT ownership.
That means NFTs evolve from simple JPEGs into digital AI assistants capable of generating value - or even profit - for their holders
And if an Agent is trained with a successful system or strategy, theoretically the entire trained Agent itself could later be transferred or sold to another person together with its knowledge, setup, and functionality
Am I understanding and reasoning correctly?! @serc1n
Normies - 0.55E
The next resistance is at 0.69 ETH
After that, it's a straight shot to 1 ETH
Normies have the following ahead: @NFCsummit / Arena / Pixel Market
@normiesART Bullish
Normies – Road to 1 ETH
@normiesART
Mint: 0.005 ETH
Current FP: 0.43 ETH
However, there are still many mechanics ahead, and the next major resistance level is around 1 ETH
@opensea is supporting Agents
@serc1n is building Agents.
@reidhoffman stated that Agents need NFTs
The infrastructure is coming together - now it’s just a matter of waiting a little longer
Normies – Road to 1 ETH
@normiesART
Mint: 0.005 ETH

Baoli: $7 -> $35
@baoliart
888 supply
MP 0.0035 eth

Many influencers are talking about this project, and I wonder what will happen next?

@aspenshredder New NFTs Collections are now on the market, and they really offer mechanics. It reminds me of the vibe of 2022, when there were a lot of interesting projects
