- **Guide to Polygon NFTs**
With a string of a-list partners and an ever-expanding ecosystem, Polygon is a network that’s worth paying attention to. However, Polygon NFTs are relatively lesser-known, perhaps because many wallets don’t fully support them.
In this post, we explore Polygon NFT marketplaces and top NFT collections.
📈 **Polygon NFT marketplaces**
Many NFT marketplaces support Polygon — below are the leading ones in terms of volume.
**1. OpenSea**
The best-known NFT marketplace, @opensea.lens added Polygon in August 2022. Despite lots of competition, OpenSea has the largest trading volumes for Polygon NFTs.
Besides trading, OpenSea also lets anyone easily create Polygon NFTs with “lazy minting”. With this method, no gas is paid until the NFT is sold.
**2. MagicEden**
Originally focused on Solana, MagicEden has grown into a cross-chain NFT giant. The marketplace added support for Polygon in November 2022.
MagicEden also has lots of tools to help creators successfully sell NFTs. This includes whitelists, launchpads, and auctions. This isn’t open to all, and there is a vetting process for creators to ensure quality.
**3. Dew**
Currently in invite-only, Dew.gg is a dedicated Polygon NFT marketplace aggregator tailored for pro traders on the Polygon network. Despite still not being fully open, Dew has been steadily gaining trading volumes.
Dew offers features that help traders, such as fast listing updates, floor sweeping, and advanced charts. To get access to Dew, you need an invite from one of the existing users (each user gets 5 invites).
🔍 **Polygon NFT collections**
While Polygon has lots of run-of-the-mill PFP collections, it’s also home to some of the most interesting NFT experiments.
**1. Y00ts**
Launched in September 2022 on Solana, y00ts is a generative art project with 15,000 NFTs.
The project made headlines when De Labs, the company behind y00ts, got a $3 million grant from Polygon to move the collection from Solana to the Polygon blockchain. The transfer started in March, and now over 12k NFTs are on Polygon. With a 2 ETH floor, it’s currently the top collection on Polygon.
**2. Lens profiles**
@lensprotocol handles are a hot commodity — still, only whitelisted addresses can mint the handle.
While mining is free, the floor price is over $200. The total volume traded is over 4.2 million MATIC, according to MagicEden.
Collected Lens posts are also Polygon NFTs. However, a different collection is created for each post. So the market is somewhat fragmented and posts rarely feature in the lists of trending NFTs.
**3. Reddit Collectible Avatars**
Reddit chose the Polygon blockchain to launch the sale of their collective avatars. Reddit sold over 10 *million* NFTs with a total market cap exceeding $75 million.
Recently, Reddit launched the second wave of avatars from 100 different artists. Each artist has a separate NFT collection.
**4. Sandbox land NFTs**
In November 2022, Sandbox, the popular metaverse and gaming platform, started to sell their digital land as Polygon NFTs, moving on from Ethereum.
Most Sanbox land plots are now traded on Polygon with a total volume of over 6.2 million MATIC. The land isn’t cheap: the average price is over 1,000 MATIC.
**5. Unstoppable Domains**
Similar to ENS, Unstoppable Domains offer domain names as NFTs. Unlike ENS, these NFTs live on the Polygon blockchain.
There are over 3 million domain NFTs. So the floor price is extremely low. However, shorter and more memorable domains could be valuable.
**6. Galxe OAT2**
Galxe OAT (On-chain Achievement Token) are free NFTs issued for taking parts in various campaigns on Galxe. Over 9 million OATs were issued.
While OATs are minted for free, some people buy them. Perhaps they expect to qualify for some whitelisted, allowlists, or other on-chain opportunities.
**7. Gaming NFTs**
Polygon is the network of choice for many blockchain games. Some of those games use NFTs to represent characters and items in the games.
Game NFTs are often even more volatile than other collections. That’s because the value of NFTs can depend on the in-game mechanics (which can change). Games can also quickly go viral and can fall out of favor just as fast.
To find interesting game NFTs on Polygon, you can simply filter collections on OpenSea. MagicEden also has a dedicated Games tab, which features various blockchain games.
👀 **How to view your Polygon NFTs**
Not every crypto wallet adequately displays Polygon NFTs.
However, Zerion Wallet fully supports the Polygon blockchain, including NFTs. You can easily import your existing wallet via a seed phrase or private key.
When you mint or buy NFTs, you can see them in your transaction history. After that, the NFT will show up in a dedicated part of the portfolio that tracks NFTs across all chains.
Alternatively, you can connect your existing wallet to the Zerion web app and see all your Polygon NFTs.

- So what are the best protocols on web3 right now that are not yet decentralised, and will survive bera?
Here is my list worth keeping an eye on.
For stablecoins, I like https://twitter.com/trustlessfi and https://twitter.com/MaltProtocol
Trustless is based on #Liquity and is on zksync
Malt is a unique take on stablecoins. Yet to prove its peg mechanics. But if it works, it will be fabulous!
Both will reward LPs/community with tokens (rather than VCs)
I love L2s, and am not a big fan of alternative L1s
@zksync is a particular favorite due to its commitment to give away a majority of ownership to the community
I am increasingly hearing good things about the https://twitter.com/arbitrum team's focus on its ecosystem (wish they would stop teasing their airdrop though)
Have already spoken about @Starknet. Resource rich... with great valuation pre bera. So enough runway to make an impact
Another interesting L2 is @Scroll_ZKP. Great team pedigree. Run their node if you are technical enough.
Then there is @fuellabs_, an optimistic rollup
There is also an in-stealth L2 coming soon. Will write about it when the time comes 👀
**----Follow me here if you want this #alpha before I post on twitter----**
Also, speaking of #alpha and @fuellabs_, here is a in-development project with a unique take on providing uni-directional liquidity
Check out @poolsharks_labs. Currently on #arbitrum, but will be on #fuellabs soon. Opens up many investment strategies (needs a separate thread)
If games end up being big on web3, NFT market places will be in demand.
@blurio.lens is good, but @opensea.lens is the OG. And they are under significant pressure due to blur's success. Competition is good
Also @gemxyz v2 beta
Also like @ourZORA because of their commitment to decentralizing with a vast majority being owned by the community (https://market.zora.co/manifesto)
Then there is @nftperp. It allows you to go long/short NFTs with leverage
Then there are real yield generating protocols (not vegetable farms)
@GearboxProtocol (already decentralized) and https://twitter.com/paxofinance are good protocols to leverage and farm.
https://twitter.com/ithil_protocol is another interesting protocol (they have already started decentralizing)
If done well, you can execute a zero-interest (or better) leveraged long/short
.@BrahmaFi for less risky farming that allows smaller sums to benefit from #Gearbox
@PolynomialFi allows you to take a directional view of the market while benefiting from their expertise in choosing conservative parameters for capital preservation
@pikaprotocol for perps
Opyn (@opyn_) is probably one of the MOST innovative teams in defi
They constantly push the envelop on what is possible. In particular, check out their Crab-USDC strategy for the current market conditions
Love @DeFiSaver. This kind of automation for returns is a great usecase for defi
Having said that, I am disappointed by their rate of development. Their non-mainnet apps are bare, integrations are minimal (no gearbox?). Can the devs do something?
If you think social media is a good use case for web3 (and I do), then there is @LensProtocol
Twitter is too erratic under Elon. But imagine curation/tagging of content incentivized by tokens. And you subscribe to what you want. No censorship ... but no crap either!
This may be controversial and unethical for some
But crypto is the only way you
- get truly fair (as can be) casinos and betting odds
- can be on the 'other' side i.e. the house
Look at @ZKasino_io and @azuroprotocol (and LP if you like the idea of betting against the bettors)
And cannot forget @taho_xyz, a community-owned wallet
For swaps, I think the only big one still without a token is @SlingshotCrypto
There is also this whole space of under collateralized lending + real world asset monetisation
This usecase still developing and winners will evolve
Will write a separate thread about this. Want it sooner? Show some love with some likes/collects (Free) 🙂
Ofc these aren't the only good ones around. Just the ones that are top of mind for me right now

✅ $LENS info
On Feb 1, @stani.lens, Lens' Founder, published a tweet with Ξ16460695 ETH block.
That block was mined in Jan 22. Could it be a snapshot?
🔗 https://etherscan.io/block/16460695
https://twitter.com/stanikulechov/status/1620802163843928064
2/11
✅ $LENS info
Stani spoke about governance in a Podcast in May 2022
TLDR: It's a progressive approach. Lens in-protocol fee collection is 0 atm, but if switched "on", they could go to a community owned treasury
I tweeted about this in Jun 2022 👇
https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1533846684480024581
3/11
✅ $LENS info
There is no official info yet, this is all speculation, however it's natural for a protocol to eventually pursue decentralization via token governance.
So let's stay tuned and see how this evolves, we are early

✅ How to get a Lens handle?
Many people doesn't know that Lens profiles are NFTs and can be purchased in Polygon Opensea: https://opensea.io/collection/lens-protocol-profiles
Floor price has been slowly inceasing, right now it costs 86 USDC to get one that's already minted.
5/11
If you buy a Lens handle in Opensea, you can start using it immediately. However you can't pick up the @ handle, since it was already minted by someone.
Also, floor price will probably dump hard when Lens Profiles are unlimitedly open to the public. No ETA on that.
6/11
✅ How to get a Lens handle?
The other way to get a handle is mint it yourself, but right now minting is closed, and they open it for some users from time to time.
Latest way to get whitelisted is to have +700 DegenScore and mint via Phaver App 👇
https://twitter.com/StaniKulechov/status/1625134666867933185

✅ Lens Quests in Phi
Lens launched a series of Quests in @philand.lens on Feb 7.
They last until Feb 22, so there's still 10 days to participate and claim free NFT rewards plus generate Lens real activity in the protocol.
8/11
✅ Lens Quests in Phi
How to participate?
1. Go to 🔗 https://quest.philand.xyz/campaign/lens-yasai
2. Own a Lens Handle
3. Set your default Lens handle in Lenster if you own more than one
4. On the campaign page, click the "Apply" button
5. Start completing the quests! 👇
9/11
✅ Lens Quests in Phi
Here is a Step by Step tutorial en how to complete all six quests: 🔗 https://phi-xyz.notion.site/Yasai-Walkthrough-Guide-6f99640b0b894f6fbb7f9fc42997a999
It's quite straightforward
10/11
✅ Claiming rewards
Phi says that claiming rewards will start on Feb 22nd.
There is no info yet as to what those rewards are.
However, when you complete each quest, you earn one free NFT that can be traded via OpenSea. There's one for every quest, so there are 6 NFTs.
11/11
Not many people know that you don't need a Lens profile to follow someone on Lens.
Give it a try:
1. Go to 🔗 https://lensfrens.xyz/olimpio.lens
2. Connect any wallet, with or without a Lens profile
3. Click follow
4. Sign the #1 txn
5. Submit the #2 txn to the blockchain

- **The Rise Of UGC 2.0: User Generated Collects**
Everyone has seen the power of User-Generated Content 'UGC' in the age of social media. Here's why UGC 2.0 or 'User-Generated Collects' will be the next evolution of this format unlocked by the blockchain.
I have been posting snippets here on Lenster the last few weeks about these themes as I framed out my article.
Here is the final piece: **https://mirror.xyz/chrissyb.eth/r0SyE9QdvQribykjXvdMqYElGQT8ZFnthV_rUlyNqNk**
#LMCC
Inspired by the following people: @ladidaix, @ryanfox, @bellosights (@levychain), @stani and @azeem.
**Cliff notes:**
In today's one-directional social media interactions, "likes'' are abundant & meaningless when it comes to generating authentic connections or content discovery. Instead of simply liking something, we would rather participate.
UGC 2.0 is not just a new format, it will revolutionize social media by unlocking far-reaching effects on content consumption than its predecessor. Collectable social content will enrich our experiences and create new forms of digital engagement between creators and users alike.
By giving creators and users ownership & control of their content without the impediments of gatekeepers they can leverage it into new opportunities across fandom, community connectivity, curation, data and monetization.
Creators aren’t defined by one platform or medium anymore. The creators, curators and communities of tomorrow will be empowered by data transparency aggregated across the entire social ecosystem without the gatekeepers and centralized databases of today. A more sustainable environment for the long tail and micro-creator to flourish as a result. Indexing less on numbers such as reach and likes, instead providing the tools to focus on quality and depth of relationship and content.
It will also mark the future of brand creation. Changing how brands interact with consumers as active participants in their own social consumption.
This is what @lensprotocol strives for. I hope this piece helps scratch the surface and inspires creators, users and builders to explore the possibilities.
