5 disgusting PFP NFT collections you might not know about

PFP stands for “profile picture”. An avatar in social networks or games gives the first impression of a person on the Internet, telling others about his/her character and tastes. In virtual reality, many people prefer to be anonymous, so they would rather use a different picture than their photo for this purpose.

The abbreviation NFT stands for a unique non-fungible token. It is owned by the person who bought it and is displayed on the blockchain as a digital certificate. Each NFT has its metadata and is stored in a decentralized IPFS file system. Such an asset cannot be exchanged for another. It can only be resold. 

Thus, PFP NFTs are unique digital tokens-images for profiles that demonstrate that one is keeping up to date with current trends. In some cases, it also shows that he/she is pretty wealthy.

The first NFT avatars were cryptopunks. They appeared back in 2017 when almost no one knew about non-fungible tokens. Now they are at the top of the all-time sales on the OpenSea platform. 

NFT PFPs have taken a dominant position in marketplaces and became incredibly popular in 2021. Their sales are still growing.

Essentially, a PFP NFT is the same non-fungible token but is meant to represent a person’s profile in social networks, metaverses, or blockchain games.

Almost every PFP NFT project has its community. This means that the owners of such assets receive the right to participate in its further development, and sometimes they are provided with additional bonuses and access to real events.

Many offerings on the market also have their own roadmap, which says how the project will develop and what benefits it has.

What is more, it is possible to monetize a PFP NFT by creating your collection of real-world items with this image. In a nutshell, such collections offer more monetization opportunities.

In addition, an NFT online profile picture emphasizes a person’s progressive personality and indicates his/her status. PFP NFTs have a particular value for the cryptocurrency community because if someone has a conventional cryptopunk, it proves that he/she has the means to make risky investments.
