As 2022 comes to an end, we at NFTexpress present to you the best and most promising NFTs for PFP collections of 2023.
In NFTexpress we have reviewed many collections, projects, medium and large companies that have launched NFTs for their users. However, one of the functionalities that became more fashionable in this 2022 were the profile pictures or PFP. Owning a non-fungible token can be a gateway to exclusive platforms, unique avatar characters and VRM files that only the holder can use.
In this opportunity, we will take a look at the best NFT collections to have in 2023 to get genuine profits and access to different very large communities in the NFT industry.
CloneX
The avatars of Clonex by RTFKT Studiosavatars are an integral part of the empire being built by one of the world’s best-known sports brands, Nike. This one, gives holders access to different airdrops, image rights and any new news in advance about updates to the metaverse world that Nike Web3 is putting together.
RTFKT Studios has already launched a virtual space that works with NFTs for holders of the ClonX collection. Also, they have enabled the ability to clone the NFT for use in other virtual worlds and as a PFP on Twitter for example.
In addition, RTFKT granted clone owners the full commercial right to the NFTs. As a result, anyone who owns one can use it in any creative endeavor they have in mind. The company also created a Discord channel for 3D files so that users can download, customize and use their NFTs on different platforms.
Metakrew
Manufactured by the team behind the Metakey NFT collection, it is Metakrew. This project is one of the most affordable we will feature in this NFTexpress article.
Currently, they are only profile images, but the project was created with the goal of creating 3D avatars that can access all virtual worlds and move freely through all of them.
In addition, they announced that the NFTs from the collection will be available for use in an upcoming virtual world of the project called New Ganymede. Images of the game were revealed in a preview in mid-2022, but it still has no release date. With the project still in its early stages, now might be your best chance to get involved.
Yuga Labs
Perhaps, the best known project in the NFT world. Yuga Labs will launch its new game and virtual world called Otherside, which will grant access to the platform to all users who have one of its NFTs.
Yuga Labs owns the rights to the five collections we will review below and each one has different utilities and values, as well as being an entry asset to the “Other Side”.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)
This was Yuga Labs’ first collection, and started out as simple, flat images. Since then, Yuga has been adding more utilities, including the aforementioned access to Otherside.
This company designed the NFTs so that the owners have the ownership and commercial use rights to them. Consequently, owners can use their Ape NFTs in any other compatible virtual world.
Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC)
The Mutant Apes is a collection of 20,000 NFTs that were created as a linked branch of the previous collection. First, 10,000 were issued to each BAYC holder, in a 1:1 airdrop.
The remaining, i.e. 10,000 NFTs, were sold in a public auction to whoever was willing to pay the values that were bid. Owning a Mutant Ape grants benefits such as: being chosen for upcoming special airdrops, or like the draw that took place in March 2022 where they raffled off ApeCointhe project’s native token.
Bored Ape Kennel Club
This collection was launched in April 2021 as the third collection in the Bored Ape family, which was already grabbing all the flashes for its success. They were given to BAYC holders who could claim them for free. However, around 400 holders of the collection did not and there are currently 4602 Kennels Clubs available for purchase.
Simply put, owning a Bored Ape Kennel Club is a great complement to owning a BAYC or MAYC, and can drive airdrop giveaways for holders to get even more profit and benefits to users.

Similar to the other NFTs avatars in this article we are reviewing, holders of the FLUF World bunnies can walk in other virtual worlds. Also known as ‘Flufs‘, these were created for both voxel-shaped landscapes and worlds that allow for industry-standard VRM files.
