🎯 The Best NFT Starter Projects Under $1000
It’s 2022 and the NFT market has entered another massive wave of growth. With projects mooning on a weekly basis, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to secure an NFT from an influential collection before the floor reaches an unattainable price.
As BAYC, Cool Cats, Doodles and the like maintain dominance among the popular PFP project charts, we’ve compiled a list of projects that the average joe can ape into without breaking the bank. Here are some of the best starter projects available to collect for under $1,000.
💁🏻♂️ Who: Impact Theory Founder’s Key
💎 Cost: 0.10 ETH ($260)
❔ What: Founder’s Key is the first large-scale NFT collection from Tom Bilyeu, CEO and co-founder of the influential Impact Theory brand.

❔ What: The Mike Tyson NFT Collection was conceived collaboratively by Cory Van Lew and the boxing legend himself. The collection features 531 pieces and marked the first time Tyson ever released his own official NFTs.

❔ What: Larva Lads is a PFP project inspired by the ever-popular CryptoPunks. The collection consists of 10,000 NFTs that are fully on-chain and randomly generated.
Larva Lads plays off Larva Labs’ iconic characters in more ways than one. Both projects were given out for free, and both embody a similar set of attributes, but one key difference is that Larva Lads are CC0 public domain, while CryptoPunks give no intellectual property, copyright, or trademark to their owners.
💁🏻♂️ Who: MEV Army

❔ What: MEV Army is the first large-scale PFP collection from influential artist x0r. Featuring 9,999 animated NFTs, MEV Army is billed as a regime of “shadowy super coders lurking in the Ethereum dark forest, ready to exploit transactions and extract profit.”
MEV, standing for Miner Extractable Value, is part of x0r and his brother 3LAU’s continuing efforts to educate NFT enthusiasts on the tech at work behind nonfungible tokens. Considering both x0r and 3LAU’s prestige in the NFT space, while it’s a bit of a surprise that the current project floor is so low, it allows for enthusiasts of all levels to join the MEV Army.

💎 Cost: 0.21 ETH ($550)
