The Solana-based NFT collection Meegos swiftly ascended to the apex of NFT marketplaces’ rankings a mere day following its debut. This collection garnered considerable favor within the Solana community and among influential NFT personalities, achieving a complete sell-out mere hours after release.
Meegos is an NFT collection of 10,000 artworks minted on the Solana blockchain. The project made its debut on August 24, swiftly soaring to prominence. Merely within a day, by August 25, it ascended as the prevailing choice for trade across diverse NFT marketplaces.
In an astonishing feat, this collection surpassed even the renowned Bored Ape Yacht Club—a blue-chip NFT venture unveiled by Yuga Labs back in 2021.
Meegos was created by Blocksmith Labs, a web3 B2B SaaS company that builds products around the NFT lifecycle. Behind the company are co-founder and co-CEO Harmy, co-CEO Alex, Chief Operational Officer Gee2kay, and Chief Technology Official Wozgun.
Blocksmith Labs centers its efforts on streamlining the utilization of Solana NFTs through its innovative platform, Atlas. This platform aims to simplify the use of Solana NFTs, enhancing user experiences and enabling seamless entry into the realm of Solana NFTs. Users benefit from a straightforward approach to discovering novel projects, engaging in giveaways, submitting wallets for allowlist allocation, receiving notifications, and accessing insights.
Furthermore, the company previously introduced the “Smyths” NFT collection, comprising 4,444 distinct pieces—a Solana-based project that currently commands significant popularity.
One pivotal catalyst for the Meegos NFT collection’s acclaim is the supportive Blocksmith Labs community. Nonetheless, such community backing alone might prove insufficient in propelling a new collection to the zenith of NFT trading.
Meegos is also supported and promoted by several NFT influencers. The list includes SOL Big Brain, who is a Big Brain Holdings investor and Azra Games advisor.
Among the other crypto influencers “shilling” the project is Sting Tensor, head of trading at Tensor, the leading NFT marketplace on Solana.
Notably, Tensor also supports trading and bidding for Meegos NFTs. More than that, the platform offers 1.25x TNSR Points to individuals who bid on and list the collection within the next week, which might also be the reason why the collection became so popular.
At the time of writing, the Meegos floor price stands at 6.763 SOL, roughly equivalent to $138. Since the collection’s inception, trading activity has amounted to 20,000 SOL.
Incidentally, influencer marketing has long been a staple for NFT projects. Yuga Labs’ Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection, it is reported, achieved considerable acclaim through strategic partnerships with notable figures like Justin Bieber and Madonna.
