It\u2019s 2022 and the NFT market has entered another massive wave of growth. With projects mooning on a weekly basis, it\u2019s becoming increasingly difficult to secure an NFT from an influential collection before the floor reaches an unattainable price.<\/p>\n

As BAYC, Cool Cats, Doodles and the like maintain dominance among the popular PFP project charts, we\u2019ve compiled a list of projects that the average joe can ape into without breaking the bank. Here are some of the best starter projects available to collect for under $1,000.<\/p>\n

Impact Theory Founder\u2019s Key<\/h3>\n
<\/figure>\n

Cost<\/strong>:\u00a00.10 ETH ($260) <\/p>\n

Founder\u2019s Key is the first large-scale NFT collection from Tom Bilyeu, CEO and co-founder of the influential Impact Theory brand. A collection totaling 15,090 NFTs, Bilyeu has said this groundbreaking collection will \u201cgive holders ground-floor access to unlock everything Impact Theory is building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Impact Theory Founder\u2019s Keys come in three separate tiers Relentless, Heroic, and Legendary. Depending on the tier, collectors have the opportunity to gain seven levels of \u201caccess\u201d within the Founder\u2019s Key\/Impact Theory ecosystem, including direct access, discounts, partnership perks, and more.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/strong>:\u00a00.14 ETH ($370)<\/p>\n

The Mike Tyson NFT Collection was conceived collaboratively by Cory Van Lew and the boxing legend\u00a0himself. The collection features 531 pieces and marked the first time Tyson ever released his own official NFTs.<\/p>\n

When it came time to create the art for his one-of-a-kind drop, Tyson quickly settled on collaborating with Van Lew. As one of the fastest-growing artists in the NFT space, Van Lew helped Tyson leverage his image in a way that paid homage to his legendary career.<\/p>\n

Larva Lads<\/h3>\n
<\/figure>\n

Cost<\/strong>:\u00a00.145 ETH ($380)<\/p>\n

Larva Lads is a PFP project inspired by the ever-popular CryptoPunks. The collection consists of 10,000 NFTs that are fully on-chain and randomly generated.<\/p>\n

Larva Lads plays off Larva Labs\u2019 iconic characters in more ways than one. Both projects were given out for free, and both embody a similar set of attributes, but one key difference is that Larva Lads are CC0 public domain, while CryptoPunks give no intellectual property, copyright, or trademark to their owners.<\/p>\n

MEV Army<\/h3>\n
<\/figure>\n

Cost<\/strong>:\u00a00.195 ETH ($510)<\/p>\n

MEV Army is the first large-scale PFP collection from influential artist\u00a0x0r<\/a>. Featuring 9,999 animated NFTs, MEV Army is billed as a regime of \u201cshadowy super coders lurking in the Ethereum dark forest, ready to exploit transactions and extract profit.\u201d<\/p>\n

MEV, standing for\u00a0Miner Extractable Value<\/a>, is part of x0r and his brother 3LAU\u2019s\u00a0continuing efforts<\/a>\u00a0to educate NFT enthusiasts on the tech at work behind nonfungible tokens. Considering both x0r and 3LAU\u2019s prestige in the NFT space, while it\u2019s a bit of a surprise that the current project floor is so low, it allows for enthusiasts of all levels to join the MEV Army.<\/p>\n
