I keep saying it, collab managers are a big part of the problems we have in the NFT space. Many of them claim to represent 5–10 communities and end up getting crazy spot allocations, only to hoard most of it. Even the “generous” ones barely give out up to 40% of their allocation.
The NFT cooks we’ve seen in 2026 were either public mints or projects that didn’t rely on all these CMs. I just hope founders start learning and do what’s actually best for their projects.
Yeah, there are some good CMs, but they’re very few. Most just stack WL across multiple wallets and dump for cents.
Or maybe just avoid hiring CMs who allocate whitelist spots improperly to enable OTC sales.
If one person has 1 WL spot, they’d think twice before listing compared to someone that has 20 or even more.
Scarcity brings value.
