In the NFT market, we have witnessed exponential growth from January 2021 to the present, observing a significant increase both in transaction volume and in the number of users who have acquired at least one NFT. This analysis examines the evolution of the ecosystem in terms of transactions, tweets, and the number of unique active users on Twitter and in Ethereum wallets, revealing a correlation between NFT ownership and social media participation.
The research shows that interest in PFP-type NFTs on Twitter went from 50 daily posts in January 2021 to over 50,000 in April 2022. Similarly, the number of daily unique users increased from 50 to over 20,000, with a peak of up to 60,000, accumulating more than one million unique users over the course of the period. Additionally, the data shows that both new Twitter users and new Ethereum wallet holders follow a similar trend, indicating a strong relationship between NFT ownership and social media interaction.
To better understand how connections form in NFT communities, an analysis of common users across different projects was conducted. Twitter users who have actively participated in discussions related to specific collections and Ethereum wallets that have acquired at least one NFT from those collections were identified. The analysis revealed that projects such as CryptoPunks, BAYC, Cool Cats, Gutter Cat, World of Women, and Doodles dominate in terms of community interaction.
To visualize the relationships between projects, a weighted undirected graph was constructed, highlighting how projects are highly interconnected despite certain polarizations. A PageRank analysis identified BAYC, CryptoPunks, and other previously mentioned projects as the most influential, confirming their leadership in terms of impact on social media and the blockchain community.
