• CryptoPunks

• Bored Ape Yacht Club

Just like crypto punks, Bored Ape Yacht Club is another high-grossing NFT project. Developed by Yuga Labs, it is a high-profile NFT project which is loved by many celebrities.

BAYC is very costly, and due to its high demand in the NFT world and limited supply, the cheapest BAYC NFT costs 100 ETH. Many of the NFTs from this project have been a leader in the costliest NFTs list. The costliest BAYC NFT was sold for INR 21 crore. Celebrities like Logan Paul, Justin Bieber, and many others hold these NFTs as a status symbol.

• Meebits

Meebits is an NFT project with low-poly dimensions. Just like the other projects on this list, Meebits is also an algorithmically developed NFT project.

Due to a boost in open-world games on blockchain and metaverse, Meebit's popularity rose exponentially. In the beginning, Meebits sold for 2.4 ETH, and today the prices have more than doubled and reached 5 ETH at a base price. Many of the Meebits NFTs have even sold for more than 100 ETH which is approximately 1.80 crores.

• CryptoSauga Stars
