NFTs: Standard & zkSNARKs
By Carlitos
Through my network, I minted one Standard and one zkSNARK NFT. After digging into the mechanics, I bought two more of each. zkSNARK had an excessive price correction after ZachXBT and others called them grifters from the Ordinals days. I think the market overreacted. As for Standard, the more Branches my bank owns, the more $STANDARD issuance shares my bank receives. A limited number of branches are up for auction each day. While short term price action in digital collectibles is inherently unpredictable, watching major collectors like Adam Weitsman take significant positions, combined with high conviction in both teams, makes this a thesis I’m comfortable backing.
The market routinely misprices noise versus fundamental distribution mechanics. On zkSNARKs, sell-offs triggered by high-profile callouts usually flush out weak hands, creating asymmetric entry points once the initial panic subsides. On Standard, the game design directly incentivizes long-term accumulation: securing Branches creates a persistent claim on token issuance, effectively turning bank ownership into a yield-generating engine rather than a passive jpegs trade. Bet on mechanics and capital allocation over short-term narrative volatility every time.
