For those who've been in the NFT space as of recent, you already know that more art related NFTs are coming up by the day
& I'd love to talk about one right here in this post: VELUMINA!
KNOWING VELUMINA
Velumina is an upcoming abstract geometric NFT art project about to launch on the Ethereum chain, and yes it's still very very early.
The art supply is 250 (not enough to go round), minting it is for free, and this alone already made me to write about them here.
Velumina's art is more about fine digital art than the usual PFP style. Cause you can tell by the marble textures, watercolor gradients, layered geometry, and very clean composition.
Their “Velumina of the day” posts already drags in strong engagement even before mint.

& right now Velumina is in its whitelist application phase. The team says they want real collectors and people who actually connect with the project, not bot wallets and fast flippers;
that's why they beckon the users filling the Google form to have ≥0.001ETH (≈$2 worth) in the wallet they submit after filling it.
THE PLAYBOOK THEY'RE USING!
Velumina could've just decided to launch a stealth mint (like how Mophora did) but that only gives room for bots and jeeters.
Good art deserves to be in good hands & what they're doing,
from posting about your take on the art to making sure bots don't get in by holding ≈$2 worth of ETH in wallet,
this has surely already created a demand for WL, and we all know when there is demand, there is FOMO!
Only a few NFT projects have used this kind of playbook but believe me, this combination worked well for them because it created a strong holder foundation after the mint.
MY ENDING TAKE
The team may be anonymous, yeah, and there isn't any roadmap yet but surely you won't want to miss being part of the 250 holders.
Don't sleep on art!
Because:
"
the purpose of art is to make the invisible visible"
