8 Exciting New NFT Projects to Watch Out For
The NFT resurgence has been going on for some time now, and with the recent airdrop of the official token $PENGU from the "chubby penguin" Pudgy Penguins shining light almost across the entire Crypto community, "blue-chip" projects like Azuki, Doodles, Cool Cats have set new all-time highs in the past year.
Compared to these already high-priced blue-chip projects, what are some new opportunities worth paying attention to recently? BlockBeats has compiled 8 NFT projects worth paying attention to in the near future for you.
Onchain Heroes - Genesis Hero (Abstract)
The Abstract NFT chain will go live on the mainnet in January 2025. Abstract, formerly known as an NFT Layer2 chain called "Frame," announced its acquisition by Pudgy Penguin's parent company Igloo and underwent a rebranding at the end of June this year.
In this year's July NFT Outlook, BlockBeats provided a detailed introduction to Abstract. If you've been following and obtained the "Elite Chad" role on the Abstract Discord, you've already harvested over 16,000 penguin tokens in the previous $PENGU airdrop:)
Onchain Heroes is currently the flagship of the Abstract NFT, and although the mainnet has not yet launched, the OCH Genesis Ring series issued on the Ethereum mainnet was sold out in seconds at a price of 0.2 ETH, almost soaring to a peak of 3 ETH. During the recent market downturn, this series remained strong and set a new all-time high of 3.5557 ETH.
Onchain Heroes is an on-chain game created by the former dev lead of Wolf Game @skarlywarly. Yes, this on-chain game is neither the kind of ultra-hardcore "autonomous world" that has not yet demonstrated strong playability, nor is it a "blockchain game" with sophisticated content on the PC or mobile side; it is the intersection of the two like Wolf Game. But as the team describes it, this is definitely not a "wolf-sheep copycat," and there won't be a sneaky A8 wolf that can steal your wool before your sheep has even been produced:)
This will be an easy-to-get-started but hard-to-master Idle Game, which may only require 15 - 20 minutes of actual gameplay per day, but will involve a lot of time after the game to reflect on one's strategy. It encourages players to communicate, based on their different risk preferences, to make their own decisions in a fair competitive environment facing an incomplete information environment.
The game will be launched shortly on the Abstract Mainnet, and the official game asset Onchain Heroes - Genesis Hero has undoubtedly become the most anticipated new series on Abstract. OCH Genesis Ring will ensure holders receive 1 free Onchain Heroes - Genesis Hero, 2 Onchain Heroes - Genesis Hero whitelist guarantee, and a $REDACTED token airdrop.
Of course, in addition to these, holding the OCH Genesis Ring itself has become one of the most convenient ways to whitelist for other popular Abstract new projects. The big picture of $PENGU makes most NFT players feel that if Blast is too VC PUA and APE is too focused on breeding rather than nurturing, then Abstract is a place where one can expect to produce a leader. Currently, the OCH Genesis Ring, and later the Onchain Heroes - Genesis Hero, carry the expectation of this leadership.
Moonsheep (Abstract)
Moonsheep is the first project on Abstract to claim to be an ERC-404 "Art Coin Integrated" project, with a good narrative dominance.
The project team's previous project, "The Sad Times," has recently performed well mainly because they were listed as a collaborating project in the "Elite Chad" role, which previously acquired the Abstract Discord. The new Abstract ERC-404 project paired with the expectation that the "Elite Chad" collaboration project will receive more Abstract token airdrops has led to the rise of the original series.
RUYUI / Kabu / Canna Sapiens (Abstract)
Of course, every blockchain has its share of new projects vying for the title of "IP," especially Abstract, a chain backed by the "Chonky Penguin," is no exception. The reason I am introducing RUYUI, Kabu, and Canna Sapiens together is that while these projects pursue different types of IP, the vision they present as "IP projects" is no different from what everyone heard during the last bull market...
A team with XX experience, XX partners... I don't think anyone is paying attention to or minting projects for these reasons. Let me analyze more directly the logic behind why these 3 projects deserve to be mentioned—Abstract will be one of the most vibrant NFT player communities in the recent period, with Onchain Heroes leading the way in demonstrating the wealth effect. Under these two premises, everyone will pursue more projects, and these 3 projects are currently the top 3 in popularity among new "IP projects" on Abstract.
RUYUI - Total supply 7777, sale price 0.07 ETH, has currently opened pre-sale slots to many highly active NFT communities. I can observe that these communities have almost smoothly absorbed the allocated slots and have a relatively positive attitude toward this project.
Kabu - Total supply 7000, has completed a 1000-unit pre-sale at a price of 0.038 ETH. Because the pre-sale suddenly started two minutes before the announced time by the project team and was instantly sold out, it encountered some FUD.
Canna Sapiens - Total supply 4000, price TBD, the OTC whitelist price is between 150 - 200U.
Petl (Abstract)
Petl is a generative art project that originated when Abstract was still in the "Frame" era, but Frame never went live and evolved into Abstract, so it waited all along...
This project has a total supply of 5000, all freely minted. The downside is that it has almost lost attention in the current Abstract environment. However, perhaps an opportunity will arise from such a situation—everyone loves clever ideas and free generosity.
Bitcoin Wizards (Bitcoin)
Bitcoin NFTs have recently not seen impactful new projects, except for Nakamigos' Fukuhedrons on Bitcoin and one project that received good feedback within the Bitcoin player community called Sleepyheads. Among the remaining new projects, the one that must be paid attention to is Bitcoin Wizards, as it is one of Bitcoin's oldest native memes.
The planned release of a 10K PFP series has sparked community collaboration, with approximately 37,000 submissions to date. Creating a 10K series of the oldest Bitcoin meme in this way is significant. Although the more well-known one may be the "Great Wizard" Taproot Wizards, behind the "Little Wizard" Bitcoin Wizards is the original creator of the "Bitcoin Wizard" meme, mavensbot.
It is currently uncertain whether this project will have free or paid minting.
Hypers (Hyperliquid)
Hyperliquid's price almost follows a standalone trend... So, I tried to search if there were any new NFT projects on this chain. Currently, there are few, and this Hypers may be one of the few projects that are most popular, as its Discord has already closed but is still buzzing...
There is no more valid information available; ongoing observation is required.

ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
