24 Verified Web3 Creators to Watch Out for in 2023

Whether you are an investor, collector, or trader, ensuring buying legitimate NFTs or investing in projects from creators with a strong reputation is not bargainable.

The prevalence of scams in web3 has made investors, traders, and collectors myopic towards established creators/organizations. As a result, only a few established creators and organizations enjoy revenue distribution and exposure in web3. Investors and traders are left to compete for over-hyped NFTs and projects that have little or no utility, and collectors are limited to just a few established artists as a preventive measure to avoid scammers.

There are over a thousand legitimate creators in web3 with great projects and NFTs most web3 investors, traders, and collectors haven't heard about before.

In line with our mission of eradicating scams in web3, leveling the playing, and increasing exposure for legitimate web3 creators, today, we bring you twenty-four (24) verified web3 creators to watch out for in 2023.
