The latest NFT collection turning heads this week is a project called Goblintown, an NFT compilation consisting of 9,999 goblins. One reason the project getting noticed is because the NFTs were minted for free and then they gained significant real-world value over time.

The project officially launched on May 22 and the only way people heard about it was through word of mouth. By the time the word got around the crypto campfire, Goblintown NFTs were getting pricey.



Goblintown’s Twitter account currently has 37,400 followers today and current metrics show 4,725 owners hold at least one Goblintown NFT. When a visitor arrives at the website called goblintown.wtf, there is a tab at the top of the page that says: “F***ing enter,” and after entering it says “sold out f***ers.”

At the time of writing, weekly NFT sales metrics show that Goblintown recorded $22.85 million in sales volume since May 22, and Goblintown is currently the top-selling NFT project this week. While the project is the hottest today, no one is really sure where the compilation came from and who exactly is behind the new digital collectibles.
