One Free Mint NFT Is Quietly Generating Serious Monthly Returns for Holders



There's an interesting play happening in the NFT space right now. The Ethernals—genesis NFTs from Anichess Game—are quietly printing 3 to 4 figures monthly for their holders.

Here's what's actually noteworthy:

The collection is hyper-limited. Only 960 NFTs exist in total, a deliberate nod to Chess960 variants. That scarcity alone creates a different dynamic compared to typical 10k projects.

Timing is everything. Early users and OGs get a free mint window opening in July 2025. Not a whitelist. Not a lottery. Actual free minting for those who get in early.

Floor price action speaks volumes. Currently trading between 0.2–0.5 ETH, which suggests the market's already pricing in the revenue potential.

What makes this different from usual NFT hype? The holder returns are real, not speculative. Monthly payouts in the 3–4 figure range aren't marketing fluff—they're coming from actual protocol economics.

If you're looking at utility-focused NFTs rather than pure art plays, this one's worth tracking before that July window closes.

960 NFTs sound quite scarce, much better than those overdone 10k projects...

But is there really such a stable monthly income? It still feels like you need to verify it yourself before trusting.

The free minting window in July was indeed a clever move, but it also depends on whether it gains popularity later on.

960 NFTs are truly tightly controlled; this is what scarcity really means, not on the same level as those 10k trash projects.

Wait, earning 3-4 figures a month is not just talk? Then why am I still working here...

July's free minting should be done early, or else OGs will cut the leeks again.

The price of 0.2-0.5 ETH already reflects expected returns? That logic feels a bit rigid.

Real returns rather than hype—such projects are indeed scarce. I'll keep an eye on it.

960 NFTs? That number checks out, it really doesn't seem like bragging.

960 NFTs? Why is this number so particular... Does someone really make four figures a month with this?

Daring to boast about 960 NFTs as rare? Wait, do you really have that much income this month?

960 NFTs are directly limited; this is not the usual 10k cash grab scheme, I respect that.

960 NFTs sound quite genuine, unlike those 10k rug-pull projects.

ngl, "actual protocol economics" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here... where's the audit trail? need to see the smart contract mechanics before trusting those payout numbers tbh
