📈 The Biggest Movers

Createra 

Every day new projects launch.

And every week, we go through the mud to give you the rundown, the alpha, and upcoming gems.

This week, Createra took center stage.

Going from 0.2 ETH to 1.75 ETH, making an impressive 775% pump... In this economy?

What is it?

Createra is a blockchain-based metaverse game. The focus of the project is not on the game, though.

Its main focus is the user: Createra is about allowing users to be the creators of their own world.

It's like a giant sandbox where you can build and play with other people.

It's not easy to be a creator, but this team knows how to create easy-to-use platforms for creators of all ages. The team behind Createra has tons of experience with similar projects, amassing over 30M+ active users and generating $400M in revenue on past creator-focused projects.

Safe to say they're good at it.

The reason for the pump: Createra raised $10 million in their series A round from a16z.

A16z is one of the most prominent web3 investors with a squeaky clean reputation.

But in NFT world, floor prices can drop down just as fast as they shot up.

Watching how this team uses the funding and how well they execute their plan is essential.

Check it out on Opensea.

Btw, our NFT analyst Mishu spotted this play on December 3rd. Make sure to follow him 🐐:

YugaVerse, Sewer Pass, Dookey Dash

Yup, you read that right. "Dookey Dash" is on the biggest movers list.

The Yuga Team has created an interactive mint, and it starts with the Sewer Pass. It's exactly what it sounds like. It's a pass that you need to play a game called "Dookey Dash."

There, you race, collect and play games to get your NFT.

If you own BAYC/MAYC, you can get a Sewer Pass for free.

Just claim it before February 8th.

Once you have a Sewer Pass, you can play Dookey Dash.

If you get a score higher than 0, your Sewer Pass will be validated, turning into a new NFT on February 15th.

There are four different types of Sewer Passes.

Dookey Dash will start on January 19th at 1:30 pm EST.

Check them out on OpenSea.

⚠️Beware: It's yet to be seen what the Sewer Pass will turn into or what will happen to them after the game.

To put it lightly, the value of Sewer Passes has been volatile.

• Tier 1 passes started at 2 ETH and dropped to 1.2 ETH but then went back to 1.6 ETH.

• And Tier 4 passes were trading as high as 6.5 ETH today.

Some people might dump them after the game, which might decrease their value.

But since it's Yuga, the possibility of it holding value is not impossible.

🤫 Upcoming Projects (Mishu Alpha)

First up: SKY

SYKY is a new project and only a select few know about it.

But with a solid team and real utility, it could have the potential for a nice flip!

SYKY is a platform for fashion designers and people who like to buy fancy clothes.

A marketplace + community to help develop the digital fashion industry.🪡

The person who started SYKY is named Alice Delahunt. A fashion goat.

She used to work at big fashion companies like Ralph Lauren and Burberry. An expert in all things style and fashion.

Recently, SYKY raised $9.5 million from prominent investors.

One of them is Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit!

Pretty cool.

Release details 👀

SYKY will release its first NFT on January 20th, called "The Keystone."

There will be an allow list and also a public mint.

The first NFT has a mint price of 0.2 ETH and a total supply of 1,000.

They don't have many followers on social media, the engagement seems poor, and the marketing could be better.

So this is your chance to have a mint ON LOCK if you catch it the day of launch.

Official SYKY Website to Mint

Next Up: Wen Sandwich

If you like meme projects, this one is for you.

Made by @migwashere. The artist behind collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club, Sneaky Vampire Sindicate, and HoFGL.

His new project is called "Wen Sandwich," allowing you to customize your sandwich.

Choose what kind of bread, meat, cheese, and toppings you want and then mint it.

You can make as many sandwiches as you want for a week with no supply cap as long as you pay the mint price of 0.05 ETH.

People have been discussing this project in different groups because of the artist's connection to BAYC, and the website is smooth.

The project has 4,800 followers on Twitter, outstanding engagement since it launched two days ago.

Launch details have only been confirmed for January 2023.

You'll have to keep up on their Twitter and Website for an exact date.

P.S. This project doesn't have any utility. It's just for fun, letting people customize their own NFT.

Beware of prices pumping and then dumping on the same day.

The future of the project is in the hands of the community.

🛠 Developing Project

Bitmates

Bitmates is an O.G. that's been around since August 2021.

It's a game where you play as monkeys and tries to rule lands and complete quests.

The team has been working hard to make the game for months.

Working closely with the Treasure DAO team, they have a strong community of people who are excited about the product and are diamond handing.

They announced that their beta game would be out by the end of this quarter.

And said the people who own Bitmates would get a special reward soon.

The reviews?

Good.

Source: Trust me, bro.

The team has been teasing more about the game on Twitter, and the community's reaction has been positive.

After the announcements, the price of Bitmates went up to 0.17 ETH.

Even when the market is not doing well, the team has kept the people happy.

Creating:

• A playlist on Spotify

• A comic book

• Weekly game meetups.

The volume of Bitmates is low, only 846 total, BUT because there is ONLY a small percentage available.

326 out of 10,000.

Projects come and go.

But, when a project still does numbers, has a strong community and has been around for this long; it's a bullish sign.

Check them out on OpenSea.
