It is so big, it pretty much exists in its own universe.
And there is so much to learn about. |
Start Here | About Kyzzen Academy | Welcome to Kyzzen Academy | A welcome message from Team Kyzzen 😊 | So much to know, so much to learn | The applications are vast, such as art, gaming, music, DAOs and events, with more appearing everyday.
The utilities are broad and complex, like staking, lending, and fractionalization.
There are many useful tools that can help you in your NFT journey, whether its data, analytics, bots or trading tools. |
NFT Token Standards | Metaplex | Metaplex Core - Introduction | Next generation Solana NFT standard. | Overview | Metaplex Core (“Core”) sheds the complexity and technical debt of previous standards and provides a clean and simple core spec for digital assets.
This next generation Solana NFT standard uses a single account design, reducing minting costs and improving Solana network load compared to alternatives.
It also has a flexible plugin system that allows for developers to modify the behavior and functionality of assets. |
Things you can do with NFTs | Staking | Basics of NFT Staking | A brief overview of NFT Staking. | What is NFT Staking? | Certain NFT projects have staking as a utility, where holders can lock up their NFTs on a platform/protocol to earn bonus rewards.
Staking is often offered as an incentive for holders to hold onto their NFTs and not list them - less NFTs listed typically mean less selling pressure, and hence potentially a higher floor price for the collection. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)? | Learn what exactly an NFT is. | Definition of NFT | NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced by other identical digital assets, and is a new application of blockchain technology that allows for the verification of ownership and authenticity of a particular asset. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)? | Learn what exactly an NFT is. | In technical terms | In technical terms, they are a form of cryptographic assets located on a blockchain – each token is recorded on a public digital ledger or list of some sort. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)? | Learn what exactly an NFT is. | The Authenticity Issue | Imagine someone tried to sell you a rare Pokemon card - how do you know that its real?
You'd have to trust that the seller actually owns it, and perhaps take it to an expert and trust that they have the skill to spot a fake. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)? | Learn what exactly an NFT is. | The transaction issue | You would then probably have to give the seller the money first and hope that they will send you the card.
There is a lot of trust and uncertainty involved in this process. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)? | Learn what exactly an NFT is. | Solving the Authenticity Issue | NFTs solve these issues - if the card was represented by an NFT, its ownership and authenticity would be recorded on a public ledger that cannot be changed.
Hence, you’d be able to confirm that the seller owns the card and that it is indeed an authentic, rare Pokemon card. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)? | Learn what exactly an NFT is. | Trustless Transactions | Once you have verified the ownership and authenticity of the item, you would be able to make the purchase and the transfer of ownership through a trustless smart contract. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | What is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)? | Learn what exactly an NFT is. | Summing it up | The ability to verify ownership and authenticity are the key value propositions that make NFT technology so powerful and unique, and gives rise to other applications that make NFTs likely to disrupt many things in our lives, e.g. gaming, music, communities, events, rewards, etc. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | Key Words You Need to Know in the NFT Space | Learn about the many unique slang words commonly used in the NFT space. | DYOR | DYOR simply means "Do Your Own Research".

This allows Core to just use a single account that also tracks the owner. |
NFT Basics | Evaluating NFT Projects | Know Thyself | Knowing yourself is crucial in your NFT journey. | Do you have an overall strategy? | Investing in NFTs without an overall strategy is a dangerous endeavor.
Knowing what your preferences and risk tolerance are would help you greatly in formulating a strategy that suits you and your situation, and would bolster your chances of long-term success. |
NFT Token Standards | Metaplex | Metaplex Core - Introduction | Next generation Solana NFT standard. | Enforced Royalties & First Class Collection Support | Core allows [royalty enforcement](https://developers.metaplex.com/core/plugins/royalties) by default, and assets can be grouped into [Collections](https://developers.metaplex.com/core/collections).
While this is also possible with Token Metadata, in Core Collections are their own Asset class that now allow additional features. |
Start Here | About Kyzzen Academy | Welcome to Kyzzen Academy | A welcome message from Team Kyzzen 😊 | Current learning options are too difficult or too unstructured | While there are many blockchain academies and content platforms that are trying their best to educate and inform newcomers, most of them try to either deliver too much technical material too early (e.g. 3-page articles covering advanced stuff that you may not need to know right at the start), or are too unstructured with random articles on different concepts. |

NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | Key Words You Need to Know in the NFT Space | Learn about the many unique slang words commonly used in the NFT space. | Alpha & Shilling | Alpha refers to “exclusive” information (from friends, influencers, etc.) that could give you a competitive advantage in trading.
Shilling is common in the NFT space where people try to hype projects to make their assets more valuable, and oftentimes use new buyers as exit liquidity.
You should never make trading decisions solely based on information from external sources - always invest sufficient time and effort into properly researching projects to arrive at your own conclusions. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | Key Words You Need to Know in the NFT Space | Learn about the many unique slang words commonly used in the NFT space. | FUD | FUD refers to “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt”, and “Fudding” is the opposite of shilling.

Minting NFTs | Participating in NFT Launches | Participating in NFT Launches | Learn how to participate in NFT launches on Solana | Course Introduction | Hello everyone, I’m HoTsAuCe!
I’ve been involved with Solana NFTs since 2021. I currently serve as a community/collab manager for several top projects on Solana, and have advised over 100 NFT projects during my time in the space. I’ve also helped onboard countless members into web3 and walk them through everything they need to know to get started. Always happy to help out where I can!
Welcome to my course on participating in an NFT launch! |
Minting NFTs | Participating in NFT Launches | Participating in NFT Launches | Learn how to participate in NFT launches on Solana | What is an NFT Launch? | An NFT launch is the first time a collection is released for sale, when its NFTs get minted on the blockchain.Only after an NFT is minted, it can then be traded on a secondary marketplace.
Purchasing a project’s NFT on its mint day is one of the key events in the NFT space and something you’ll want to be familiar with as we enter the upcoming bull run. |
NFT Basics | Evaluating NFT Projects | Key Factors in Evaluating NFT Projects | Learn about the common key factors in evaluating NFT projects. | Team (3) - Doxing | Another consideration is whether the team is doxed publicly, i.e. their identities have been revealed. This can boost confidence in the project, especially if they’re qualified and reputable.
This isn’t to say that projects with undoxed teams should be immediately written off, but there’s indeed increased risk and it may be prudent to wait for them to deliver some items on the roadmap first.
Oftentimes, the team may be privately doxxed by a reputable third-party, which may provide some comfort. |
Trading NFTs | NFT Marketplaces | Tensor | Introduction to trading NFTs on Tensor | Making a Collection Offer | Tensor allows you to place a bid to buy any NFT(s) from a collection with 1 click.
Simply click on the “Bid” header in the top-left corner of the collection page to set up your collection offer.
We recommend that you read this [guide](https://docs.tensor.trade/trade/get-started-with-tensors-amm/buy-or-bid) from Tensor before making your first offer. |
Minting NFTs | Participating in NFT Launches | Participating in NFT Launches | Learn how to participate in NFT launches on Solana | Launch Details | Key details of every NFT launch:
- **Price:** Cost to mint an NFT
- **Supply:** Total number of NFTs in the collection
- **Date/Time:** When the mint will take place, usually different timings for different launch phases (e.g. whitelist, public, etc.).
- **Mint Site:** The official link to mint the NFT. Only use the link provided in the Discord’s announcement channel, usually only announced on mint day.
Its normal for details to be vague until mint day approaches as creators monitor their traction and market conditions. |
Minting NFTs | Participating in NFT Launches | Participating in NFT Launches | Learn how to participate in NFT launches on Solana | Phases of an NFT Launch | Typical phases during a launch:
- **Presale:** Before the public sale, usually with a discount
- **Whitelist\* (WL):** Usually shortly before Public phase, reserved for people that won whitelist allocations. There may be multiple WL phases, e.g. “OG” phase reserved specially for early project supporters.
- **Public:** If any supply remains, anyone can try to mint in this phase
Its up to the project how they wish to structure their launch, e.g. only have Public phase (no presale/WL), only have presale and WL (no public), etc. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | Key Words You Need to Know in the NFT Space | Learn about the many unique slang words commonly used in the NFT space. | HODL | HODL is short for “Hold On for Dear Life”, usually used as a term to encourage other traders to continue holding onto their NFTs regardless of the situation or market condition.
It originated from a typo of “hold”. |
NFT Basics | Evaluating NFT Projects | Key Factors in Evaluating NFT Projects | Learn about the common key factors in evaluating NFT projects. | Roadmap & Utility (2) - Roadmap Items | It is easy to be attracted whenever projects include hyped themes into their roadmap (e.g. building their own metaverse), and generally the bigger the ambition the more evaluation is required.
Typical roadmap items you may come across:
- Metaverses/Game
- Services/Tools, e.g. launchpad, marketplace, bots, etc.
- Staking/Tokens/Revenue-Share/Rewards
- NFT Airdrops/Future Generations/Breeding
- Exclusive Access/Membership/Alpha group
- Lore/Content, e.g. comics, music, etc.
- Art upgrade
- Merchandise |
NFT Basics | Evaluating NFT Projects | Key Factors in Evaluating NFT Projects | Learn about the common key factors in evaluating NFT projects. | Roadmap & Utility | These are often the main draw of a project, and usually the most difficult aspects to evaluate.
Besides the scope of the roadmap (how broad it is in terms of the various roadmap items included as well as the duration of the planned development), we should also always consider if that item makes sense for the project and/or if the team is able to accomplish its stated objectives, both in terms of team capability and resources, as well as funding. |
NFT Token Standards | Metaplex | Metaplex Core - Introduction | Next generation Solana NFT standard. | Next steps | Now that we have covered what Metaplex Core is at a high level, we recommend checking out our [Getting Started](https://developers.metaplex.com/core/getting-started) page which enumerates the various languages/frameworks that one can use to interact with Core Assets.
You might also want to have a look at the [Differences to MPL Token Metadata](https://developers.metaplex.com/core/tm-differences) page.
Afterwards, the various feature pages can be used to learn more about the specific operations that can be performed on cNFTs. |

NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | Key Words You Need to Know in the NFT Space | Learn about the many unique slang words commonly used in the NFT space. | Ape & Degen | To “ape” into a project means to recklessly buy into a project without doing sufficient research - something you should never do, even if you have received “alpha”.
Degen is short for “degenerate”, referring to traders that regularly ape into projects. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | Key Words You Need to Know in the NFT Space | Learn about the many unique slang words commonly used in the NFT space. | Dox/Doxx | Being “doxxed” means that someone’s identity and/or personal details are publicly available online.
There are two common scenarios for doxxing in the NFT space:
- A project’s founder and team doxx themselves to establish trust and confidence, especially if they are reputable and respected, or
- People find personal information about others and doxx them with malicious intent, sometimes to reveal the identity of scammers. |
NFT Basics | Evaluating NFT Projects | Know Thyself | Knowing yourself is crucial in your NFT journey. | Which concepts are you familiar/unfamiliar with? | “Never invest in a business you cannot understand.”
– Warren Buffett
The riskiest projects are not just those that have high risks of rugging or failure, but also those that you have difficulty understanding (and hence evaluating) the risks of. |

It is often debated whether a project is considered a rug if the team did try their best but still failed to fulfill their promises.
A slow rug is a situation where a project is slowly but increasingly looking like it will eventually become a rug.
A derug refers to an attempt to revive a project. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | The Usefulness of NFTs | Learn why NFTs are so useful, and why they look set to disrupt so many sectors. | Proof of Ownership and Authenticity | Firstly, NFTs allow proof of ownership and the ability to authenticate assets.
With an NFT, you can verify details such as who the owner is, who the creator was, when the token was created, and so much more.
Imagine Snoop Dogg selling NFTs for his latest album - we would be able to verify that he was the creator, the exact time that they were created, and who are their real owners.
This is also particularly useful for communities and companies that prefer to "token-gate" their access or subscriptions. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | The Usefulness of NFTs | Learn why NFTs are so useful, and why they look set to disrupt so many sectors. | Transferability | Secondly, NFTs allow transferability and the ease for holders to trade these assets.
For instance, in most video games, players would amass a massive collection of in-game items, and when they stopped playing, those items would lose all their value.
If they were NFTs, we could easily trade them on a marketplace or store them in a crypto wallet forever.
Some game studios even allow gamers to use the same item (NFT) across different games. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | The Usefulness of NFTs | Learn why NFTs are so useful, and why they look set to disrupt so many sectors. | Creator Royalties | Thirdly, NFTs empower creators and artists to monetize their work and collect royalties from secondary sales, at least on NFT marketplaces that enforce royalties (more on this in a future course).
This can be a significant passive income stream for creators/artists, and something that is near-impossible to achieve or enforce outside of Web3. |

- Artwork
- Team
- Roadmap & Utility
- Marketing & Hype
- Community Development & Engagement
We will go through each of them in detail in this course. |
Minting NFTs | Participating in NFT Launches | Participating in NFT Launches | Learn how to participate in NFT launches on Solana | What is a Presale? | A presale is an opportunity to buy the project’s NFTs before the mint date, usually at a discount. This can be a good way to secure your NFT if you don’t want to risk missing out on mint day in case it sells out quickly.
However, buying early does come with risks. If the overall mint does poorly and doesn’t sell out, you’ll likely lose money on your purchase since the demand is not there and the collection’s floor price has a good chance of falling significantly in secondary trading post-mint. |
NFT Basics | Getting Started with NFTs | Key Words You Need to Know in the NFT Space | Learn about the many unique slang words commonly used in the NFT space. | Whale | A whale refers to an individual or entity that has significant financial resources and is able to buy/hold/trade NFTs on a large scale.

Things you can do with NFTs | Lending & Borrowing | NFT Lending with Sharky | Introduction to Sharky, the first escrow-less NFT lending protocol on Solana | A few important points regarding repayments | - Interest is currently fixed per loan, but you can pay back early anytime.
- You can only repay the loan from the wallet you started the loan with.
- You can only repay the loan in one single repayment, i.e. not partially.
- Once a loan has been defaulted on, it can be repaid as long as the Lender does not foreclose.\*
- Once a Lender has foreclosed the NFT of a defaulted loan, he becomes the sole owner.
- Make sure you have sufficient SOL in your wallet for both loan repayment amount as well as gas. |

Things you can do with NFTs | Lending & Borrowing | NFT Lending with Sharky | Introduction to Sharky, the first escrow-less NFT lending protocol on Solana | What happens if my offer is accepted? | Once a Borrower accepts your loan offer, the funds will be transferred to them, and their NFT will be locked (non-transferable).
You cannot cancel the loan before it expires. However, it could be repaid early by the Borrower, meaning you earn your yield sooner.
If a loan is not fully repaid in time by the Borrower with interest, the NFT becomes available for foreclosure by the lender. If you click on ‘Foreclose’, the NFT collateral will be transferred to your wallet - congrats! |
