risk warning

NFT hot projects emerge in an endless stream, and the demand for NFT as an avatar has surged. This huge demand has brought about the explosive growth of the project. There are teams that do so well that most of them sell out, bringing in a lot of ETH for the creators. Most of them are also unknown.

As a digital asset with low liquidity, NFT can only be successfully traded if both buyers and sellers recognize its value. If the popularity drops after the purchase, and no one continues to buy, it may not be sold or sold at a loss, and the NFT is just a picture.

The NFT market is still very broad and there are still many opportunities, looking forward to the emergence of more treasure NFTs! Check out this low-key NFT before it gets big.
