Onchain land art from a dynamically generated, onchain 3D world.

Terraforms by Mathcastles is a collection of 11,000 on-chain land art NFTs from a dynamically generated, on-chain 3D world.

Each Terraform can become an on-chain generative mini app paint program, that can then become on-chain 1/1s artworks, should the holder Terraform a drawing permanently into the piece. When pieced together the entire collection makes up a giant 3D hypercastle.

These Metaverse artworks are not social 3D worlds but rather are eternally stored data open to interpretation to specific visual presentation with licenses that permit creative use.

As interest in NFTs continues to grow, this disruptive new industry has begun to spark debate around the way to define and value art. Due to their intrinsic scarcity and provable ownership, NFTs now provide a unique means for facilitating value across a wide range of digital assets, including music, video, collectibles, video-game items, and digital artwork.

In fact, some of the most expensive NFT sales, such as collections from Beeple and Pak, are worth considerably more than bonafide masterpieces in the traditional art world. For example, Pak’s “The Merge” sold for $91. 8million, which surpasses the inflation-adjusted valuation for “Nymphéas en fleur” by Monet, “Laboureur dans un champ” by Van Gogh, and “Au Lapin Agile” from Pablo Picasso.

With such exorbitant values, more people than ever are eager to get involved in the NFT space, either by investing in prominent NFT collections or by becoming NFT artists themselves. But, before you jump in, you need to make sure you have a true understanding of what NFT collections are, what gives them value, which ones to avoid, and how you can get the low-down on NFT collections before they drop.

▶ What are popular Terraforms by Mathcastles alternatives?

An NFT collection is an assortment of digital assets released by an artist (or group of artists) containing a limited number of individual NFTs. Typically, most NFT collections consist of numerous NFTs that all conform to the same artistic style, with slight variations across each individual token.

With that said, NFT collections come in a variety of different forms, such as virtual real estate (Decentraland and The Sandbox), music albums, and even sports trading cards (NBA Top Shot and Sorare).

Who can make an NFT collection?

One of the most attractive aspects of the NFT world is that anybody can become an NFT artist and make their own collection. Unlike the traditional art scene, which generally requires extensive formal training and a significant amount of skill, the barriers to entry are considerably lower when it comes to NFTs.

For starters, since NFTs are created digitally, artists can lean into graphic design and other computer-based skills, which are generally much simpler to master than becoming adept with a paintbrush. Second, many of the most popular NFT collections are rather simplistic in nature, such as the aforementioned Bored Apes Yacht Club, as well as other highly valued collections such as Crypto Punks.

As you can see, Crypto Punks avatars are made up of pixelated characters that would not require a high level of skill to produce or even replicate. However, this illustrates that a large portion of the value in NFT projects is not directly tied to the creative flair of their creators but rather to the artists’ ability to tap into demand, trends, and how they market their collections.

Of course, that is not to say there aren’t any highly skilled artists in the NFT space. Take Beeple, for example, who produces magnificent NFT collections that provide thought-provoking social/political commentary through bizarre abstract images that would certainly not look out of place in a modern art gallery.

How to make an NFT collection

Wondering how NFT collections are made? Well, the good news is that it’s probably much easier than you imagine. With that said, let’s start off with the first and most difficult step – creating the art that will make up your collection.

Creating your art

To begin with, you need to carefully consider the type of content that you want to produce. Whether you are creating music, memes, avatars, video, or digital art, try to find a niche that suits your interests and has some level of market demand. After all, if your goal is to make money with NFTs, you will want to appeal to as wide a demographic as possible.

As for the production itself, it’s up to you what medium you decide is best for your particular type of NFT. If you’re considering going down the digital art route, many artists use software such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. If you’re new to these programs, there will be a fairly steep learning curve, although there are plenty of free resources out there that will help you develop your skills.

You can even use an NFT maker that will assist you in generating unique digital art within a matter of minutes. In fact, some of these tools require no artistic skill whatsoever. For example, you can use Hotpot. ai to create beautiful digital art by inputting a few keywords into the AI interface. After tweaking a few preference settings, the AI will present you with a piece of digital art that you can mint into an NFT and sell on the marketplace – and the best part is that it’s completely free!

Remember, since you are creating an NFT collection, you will need to produce at least two unique artworks. The number of pieces you include in your collection is entirely up to you. However, try to take a look at similar artists in your field to see what works for them. Both CryptoPunks and the BoredApeYachtClub have 10,000 unique avatars, but that doesn’t mean you need to match that volume.

Set up a crypto wallet

On top of this, many of the leading NFT exchanges offer a lazy minting service, which means that you do not need to pay any fees to mint your artwork as an NFT. In this process, the NFT is made available off-chain and only gets minted once it has been sold to a buyer. In some cases, the NFT gas fee is passed on to the buyer too, which means the artist does not foot any of the cost for minting. Some of the most popular websites that offer this functionality include:

• OpenSea
• Mintable
• Rarible
• SupeRare

Set the price of each individual item

Now that you have created your NFT collection, you need to decide on the price you will initially offer them on the market. Generally speaking, the more pieces that you have in your collection, the less valuable each individual item should be. However, that is not always the case. To use the BoredApeYachtClub as an example once again, each Bored Ape was offered for a flat price of $190 during launch in April 2021.

If you are struggling to find a suitable launching price, then carry out some research on similar artists and see what they are charging. That way, you can assess the quality of your work compared to theirs (as well as your audience and the marketability of your brand) before setting a realistic price.

What makes an NFT collection valuable

With that said, you may be wondering what makes one NFT collection more valuable than another? Let’s take a look at some of the major factors that influence the floor price of individual collections.

Artist reptation

We see examples of this all the time, with celebrities and well-known artists cashing in on their brand by releasing an NFT collection in their name. Even Sir Tim Berners-Lee got in on the act after he sold an NFT of the original source code to the World Wide Web for $5. 4 million in 2021.

Ownership history

Utility is one of the more popular buzzwords in the wider crypto sphere. In general, the term refers to the usefulness of a digital asset (usually a cryptocurrency token) and the value that it brings to its ecosystem. In other words, does the asset do anything, or is its value simply dependent on the speculation of other investors?

In addition, there are plenty of other use cases for NFTs, such as yield farming through providing liquidity, staking, renting, and even royalty payments.

Similar to the traditional art world, the rarer a collection is, the more valuable it becomes. Although, rarity can be viewed from two separate angles. First of all, artists can create one-off bespoke artworks for each of the items in their collection. This would be similar to how Beeple created his “The First 5000 Days” collection, where he made a unique picture every single day from May 1st, 2007 – January 7th, 2021.

Where do NFT collections sell?

While some of the most expensive collections in the world are sold at traditional auction houses, such as Christie’s, the vast majority of NFT collections are bought and sold across NFT exchanges. Not only do these websites offer a great platform to market and display NFTs, but they provide increased security and liquidity, benefiting both the buyer and the seller. Some of the best NFT marketplaces include:

How to find NFT collections that are minting soon

If you are planning to invest in NFT collections and want the best bang for your buck, your best bet would be to find exclusive NFT drops so you can jump on projects early before their prices increase. Back in June 2017, the CryptoPunks collections were offered for free on a first-come-first-served basis. Over the subsequent few years, the CryptoPunks collection became one of the most sought-after projects in the entire NFT space, making those who participated in the drop very wealthy without having to invest a single cent.

While it is going to be next to impossible to replicate that feat, there are still plenty of tactics you can use to keep your ear to the ground and find out about hot NFT drops before the general public catches wind.

Understanding the different NFT blockchains

Terraforms by Mathcastles is an Ethereum-based NFT collection that introduces land art as a concept. The collection has had a tremendous week in terms of performance, generating more than $3. 19 million in trading volume in the past seven days.

Terraforms introduces an innovative concept that presents on-chain land as a generative NFT artwork. The Terraforms virtual world is a 20-level 3D castle, created by 11. 104 unique land plot NFTs. Interestingly, each of these land plots comes with a live on-chain art depiction of the code behind the NFT. This adds a rather intriguing visual element to the virtual land concept.

All other properties of the NFTs correspond to different characteristics of the art connected to each unique land plot. For example, the zone property represents the color palette of each NFT, while the chroma property represents the animation speed of the land art piece.

The combination of all these properties creates a vibrant 3D virtual space and a rather intriguing NFT art collection. Considering this, activity for the Terraforms collection has been booming recently.

Terraforms dropped on December 17th, however, the collection has seen remarkable growth in valuation and trading volume in the past week. The average price for a Terraforms NFT increased by 2500% reaching $50. 000. Additionally, the project generated $3. 19 million in trading volume.

This significant boost in pricing pushed Terraforms to the top of DappRadar NFT Collections charts. Impressively, these land art NFTs managed to outperform hot projects in the NFT space like Doodles, and the rising star LinksDAO.

An interesting thing to note is that Terraforms creators Mathcastles have not been very active in promoting the project or interacting with the community. The official website where the mint happened is completely empty at the time of writing, and all information in the project’s Discord was assembled by community members.

Despite the lack of involvement from the developers, the Terraforms community is growing with more than 5000 Discord members already. This is also visible by the increasing sales prices and the rapidly growing trading volume Terraforms generates.

DappRadar will continue monitoring the Terraforms collection, as the virtual 3D castle gains traction among the NFT community.

Final Word

Whether you are an investor or artist, the NFT industry provides a wealth of opportunities to connect, engage, and trade digital art with people from all over the world. While the technology is undoubtedly in its infancy, its rapid rise to the mainstream signifies a drastic (and arguably) much-needed shake-up of the art world as people finally have an authentic means to monetize digital art.

Hopefully, after reading this article, you now have all of the tools and knowledge you need to capitalize on this exciting market. That said, if you’re new to the space, remember to keep your wits about you and watch out for some of the scams mentioned above. Other than that, there’s not much more to say other than good luck and happy hunting!
