NFTs remain a factor in Web3 adoption, especially with initial onboarding. Technology expands to create adaptable dynamic NFT, as well as turn NFT into a wallet for additional items and rewards. Collections can still go through active trading periods with price spikes, though liquidity is not guaranteed. Low-cost or free mints are preferable to test out NFT ownership or potentially gain access to valuable collections.
