At the beginning of April, the airdrop brought by Azuki once again ignited the sentiment of the market. The blue-chip NFT projects led by Azuki and Clone X ushered in another wave of rise. However, this rise only lasted for a week. Large projects have ushered in varying degrees of decline. "Imitation discs" and "cottage" NFTs have become the mainstream again. For a while, the community has shown a "stationary" state, and it seems that greater energy is brewing.

VeeFriends, Ape Land and other established NFT projects continue to expand their territories, and Moonbirds and ProjectPXN, which have attracted much attention, have begun to exert their strength. The NFT market in mid-to-late April is bound to launch a turbulent "fight".

According to the current popularity of the community, Rhythm BlockBeats has sorted out the recent NFT projects worthy of attention as follows.
