Why I Built NXT as an Artist
For a long time, I believed the problem was me.
I felt slow. I felt overwhelmed. I felt like I was constantly swimming against the current. The exhaustion was not loud or dramatic. It was quiet, persistent, and deeply familiar. It came from moving endlessly between platforms, searching for serious artists and meaningful projects, while being surrounded by noise.

The Biggest Mistakes NFT Creators Made in 2024(and What 2026 Will No Longer Forgive)
Let's be honest. 2024 was brutal for NFT creators.
Not "tough but we learned a lot" brutal. More like "98% of projects died and only 0.2% made any profit" brutal. The kind of year that separates the dreamers from the builders, the hype chasers from the community cultivators.
But here's the thing: the carnage wasn't random. It was predictable. And if you're still creating in this space—or thinking about jumping in—you need to understand exactly what went wrong. Because 2026?

The NFT landscape has transformed dramatically. Gone are the days when a pixelated JPEG and a viral tweet could mint you millions overnight. In 2026, the market has matured, the speculators have retreated, and what remains is something far more interesting: a thriving ecosystem where only the serious survive.
If you're a creator launching an NFT collection, an investor looking for the next blue-chip opportunity, or simply curious about what separates the winners from the for

Why Most NFT Calendars Are Broken
NFT calendars originally emerged as a solution to a growing problem in Web3: how to keep track of upcoming NFT drops in an ecosystem that moves at high speed. The idea was simple and necessary. Centralize information, reduce friction, and help collectors and creators navigate the market more efficiently. However, as the NFT space evolved, many of these tools failed to evolve with it.

NXT: Rebuilding Discoverability in the Web3 and NFT Ecosystem
The Web3 space has never lacked creativity. It has never lacked artists, projects, or ambition. What it lacks today is something far more subtle and far more important: sustainable discoverability.
NFT artists and Web3 creators are exhausted. Not because they no longer want to create, but because visibility has become fragmented, short-lived, and dependent on constant promotion across too many platforms at once. Projects appear for a moment, then vanish. Communities scatter.

The Problem With NFT Drops Today (And Why Creators Are Exhausted)
Creation didn’t fail. The launch system did.

Behind every NFT drop, there is weeks or months of work: creation, storytelling, community building, technical setup, partnerships, marketing, and constant online presence. Yet, despite all this effort, many projects struggle to gain visibility or traction. This disconnect has become one of the most pressing NFT launch problems today.

What Is NXT and Why the NFT Space Needed It
NXT - The app of the future! The NFT ecosystem did not collapse. It expanded faster than its discovery infrastructure could support. As more creators entered the space and more projects launched every day, visibility became increasingly dependent on noise rather than substance. Collectors, meanwhile, were left navigating fragmented tools, endless social feeds, and unreliable listings just to identify projects worth their time. This imbalance revealed a fundamental issue withi
