Today I’ll share with you a couple of stealth projects and a utility-focused NFT collection on StarkNet (everything is always good on StarkNet).

Not POAP

Before we dive in, POAP stands for Proof of Attendance Protocol. In short, POAP tokens are something you get for visiting events or doing something specific on-chain.

My POAP tokens. Check yours here.

Now that you know what a POAP is, the concept of Not POAP may sound weird. If it’s not a POAP, then what is it? It’s an interesting question but not the right one to ask.

The more appropriate question is: who is Cyan Rarson? This person is mentioned as the project’s creator, and they can’t be too famous judging by the project’s following. Unless…

The thing is, Not POAP’s Twitter profile follows only two accounts, one of which is famous NFT figure Ryan Carson. Therefore, Not POAP might be Ryan’s stealth project.

Ryan doesn’t follow Not POAP, but that’s likely for a good reason. Numerous bots are scanning high-profile accounts for new followings. He might not want the project to be discovered until NFTs are minted out.

If Not POAP is revealed to be Ryan’s endeavor, its price floor will likely skyrocket—especially since there are only 300 items to the collection. 

50 spots are available through a raffle. At this point, you might be getting skeptical, but consider that the project only has 207 followers on Twitter. I think the odds of winning are high due to the project being hidden from the public.

Shylock Early Access

Not all NFTs will get big, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t bring you profits.

One such project is Shylock. Like many mediocre crypto enterprises, Shylock has a way to farm social engagement—in this case, by making you interact with a fictional detective character. The project doesn’t have much substance on Twitter, but there’s a link to the early access form, which is all that matters.

Follow this link and click on “BEGIN.” A voice engine will greet you, and a button to post a tweet will appear. Click on the button, tweet, and wait. It might end up being shallow engagement farming, but it would be great to get an allowlist seat just for clicking a couple of buttons.

Chimpion

Remember the mantra: everything on zkSync and StarkNet is good. These two networks are one of the most technologically advanced yet least discussed. When they are fully functional, everything on them will almost certainly be flying.

Chimpion focuses on building a play-to-earn game on StarkNet. But first, it will launch an NFT collection in two stages: one with a supply of 300 items and the other with 3,000 items.

The public sale for the smaller collection starts on December 24 at 14:00 UTC. Use this tool to convert UTC to your local time zone.

While the supply is limited to 300 items, around 200 spots are filled by people in the allowlist. So, chances might look slim, just like with Not POAP, but remember that this is StarkNet, and very few people are interested in it yet. Those who wanted to get in most likely obtained allowlist seats, which means that the public round should still be a viable acquisition route.

The price for an NFT is 0.02 ETH (~$24), and you will also need to include fees for getting your money onto StarkNet, though that shouldn’t be expensive. Keep in mind that there’s no product, and the team might not deliver on its promises, so there might be no return on your investment. However, if they build even a mediocre product, StarkNet hype might help the floor significantly.

That’s it for today. Thank you for reading.
