What’s up, Twitter creators and fans?
Digital art, a.k.a. Non-Fungible Tokens or ‘NFTs’ has taken the world by storm in the last few years.
NFT accounts are a great case study for Twitter and audience growth
NFTs can represent any digital file or good that leverages blockchain-based technology to verify the ownership, irrefutably, of the author.
Now, NFTs had their moment in the sun during the pandemic, and have come down a bit in the world since the frothy days of Bored Apes, Sappy Seals, Lazy Lions, and CryptoPunks being EVERYWHERE on Twitter.
But if there is one thing we can learn, it’s that Twitter audience growth was a massive boon for NFT projects looking to build an audience.
Yes, Discord got a lot of attention, but Twitter was the place to be for discussions on NFTs and building hype.
In this blog post will show you which guys are the big dogs, the heavy hitters, the ones who have shown how to get it done on Twitter and in the NFT space.
In this epic blog post, we’re gonna take you on a journey through forty of the top NFT accounts, showing you how they operate, what sets them apart, and how they’re making moves in the NFT world.
Whether you’re an OG NFT investor or just getting started, get ready to learn from the best of the best, and find some inspiration for growing your Twitter account.

Bored Ape Yacht Club
Bored Ape Yacht Club (@boredapeyc) is the ultimate flex for the modern baller. If you’ve got an ape, you’re in the club, and that means you’re part of an exclusive group of like-minded individuals who know how to party.
punk6529
Punk6529 (@punk6529) is one of the OGs of the NFT game. These bad boys were minted way back in 2017, and they’re still going strong. If you’re lucky enough to own one, you’re basically a legend.

Ashurnft (@ashurnft) is the leader of the Twitter pack of Lazy Lions. While Lazy Lions are not the biggest, highest-volume NFT collection, they were specifically known for their Twitter presence and strength of community.
Ashur is at the forefront of bringing the energy of Discord communities and encouraging community members to share news, updates, product releases, and creativity on Twitter.
Sappy Seals
Sappy Seals NFT (@SappySealsNFT) are the cutest dang things you ever did see. These little guys are guaranteed to melt your heart and brighten up your day. Plus, they’re a great investment, so you can feel good about supporting the arts and making some money.

Yuga Labs
Yuga Labs (@yugalabs) is like the Goldman Sachs of NFTs. They are the owners of:
…and more.
That’s quite a haul. Now individual people own NFTs, so it’s not like the own every NFT in each collection, but they derive value from owning the parent corporation or underlying IP. Despite the fact that NFTs are ostensibly decentralized — there are still big players in the ecosystem on Twitter at the institutional level.
threadguy
Threadguy (@notthreadguy) is simply one of the most well-known Bored Ape/Mutant Ape holders and took on an influential position with Jenkins the Valet.

His contributions have been recognized as both informative and entertaining, earning him a following among those interested in the NFT space.
degentraland (and decentraland)
OK, another awesome sh*tposter — Degentraland is a legitimate play on words from the NFT project “Decentraland” — a metaverse that is governed by the users who own the tokens associated with the NFT project.
This pun comes from the fact that in forums and online — it’s become a self-proclaimed badge of honor for NFT investors and gamblers to call themselves ‘degens’ or degenerates.
NFTsAreNice
@NFTsAreNice is a consummate sh*tposter, Mutant Ape owner, and someone who loves to jump into Twitter Spaces. At the time of this writing, he’s built his following up to over 50k followers. You can also see that he uses linktr.ee to link out to his Discord group — a common tactic of NFT personalities on Twitter.
Jenkins the Valet
Jenkins the Valet (@jenkinsthevalet) is a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT (#1798) that was purchased by Tally Labs founders in May 2021. It is an ecosystem that gives commercial rights to the IP of the NFT to its holders.
The character, Jenkins, wears an Irish boho hat and work vest and has an evil twin named “Jenkins the Mutant.”
The first NFT drop from Jenkins is called “The Writer’s Room,” which allows ape and mutant holders to vote on the creative direction of a book centered around Jenkins.
LazyLions
Lazy Lions (@LazyLionsNFT) is a profile pic collection that is specifically known for how well they rally the community on Twitter to gain notoriety for Lions and their overall community.
While a lot of the action happens in the Discord server, the LazyLionsNFT account and the community of people with Lions profile pics is a valuable presence on Twitter as well — leading to growth in Lazy Lions followers and NFT owners.

He is known for his deep knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of the blockchain, and his work is highly valued by investors, traders, and enthusiasts.
But that’s not his main claim to fame — the coolest thing is ZachXBT is that he’s a legitimate private eye. A sleuth. A film noir detective. “Rug pulls” are the infamous moves where fraudulent and malicious NFT creators conduct financial engineering and underhanded marketing to pump and dump NFTs that they control.
ZachXBT is a superhero — hunting down the bad guys, one by one.
