Underrated: BYOPills, Polychrome Music, The Mona Lana, and more
Traveling the world of non-fungibles is a daunting task. With so many new NFT projects, artists, and large-scale collections cropping up weekly, it’s become nearly impossible to keep up with each subsequent development.
In the past, a simple browse of OpenSea was enough to find the latest NFT craze. But things have changed drastically since the 2021 NFT boom. Now, NFT enthusiasts have to be acutely aware of what and where they collect.
To help discover amazing NFT efforts, both new and old, NFT now presents Undervalued: a weekly column that highlights innovative projects, collections, and artists moving the NFT space forward.
BYOPills, introduced on July 16, 2021, a psychedelic-themed PFP-style project created by a fictional character named Boris the Cook. Although this Peele-inspired project began with a simple collection of animated 3D collectibles, it has since opened the door to an expansion into a metaverse project called BYOVerse.
BYOPills is unique not only because it presents an innovative spin on the concept of generative avatars, but because its creators took a single, niche idea and transformed it into a comprehensive metaverse game. To begin with, each BYOPill NFT only gives collectors access to an exclusive Discord server and a trip replicator app. But as the project grows, BYOLand, characters, vehicles, and more become available as part of the BYOVerse.
Polychrome Music is on On August 24, 2022, one of the latest projects from the highly regarded Art Block curated platform. Created as a collaboration between New York-based visual artists Rafael Rosendal and Dutch electronic musician LegoweltThe collection consists of 400 NFTs that combine generative art and generative music.
With Polychrome Music, Rosendal and Legowelt add a unique entry to the growing generative/interactive NFT sector. Each piece of the collection features a generative music system that plays an infinite composition influencing the visual output.
Mona Lana, launched on November 3, 2021A collection of generative portraits created by visual artists Lana Denina. Consisting of 500 unique NFTs, each token within the Mona Lana Collection is randomly generated using 112 different attributes.
Before philanthropy became its own sector of the NFT space, Denina and other smaller artists had already started campaigns to help fund non-profits by selling their collections. As one such effort, profits from Mona Lana’s initial sales went toward funding a DAO created by artists of African descent and also benefiting women’s shelters across Canada.

Corruption(s*), launched November 13, 2021A large-scale, continuously evolving project from Dom Hoffman, co-founder of Vine and innovative NFT projects like Loot and Blitmap. The corruption(s*) collection — consisting of 4,196 NFTs — was originally shrouded in mystery, launched with the intention that it would be deciphered by those who collected pieces from it.
The warning features “experimental art. No roadmap, no utility, and absolutely no promises” as the collection describes, Corruption(s*) was a stealth launch, discovered by some NFT enthusiasts who were closely tracking Hoffman’s wallet after Loot launched. This project is a testament to bootstrapping a community seemingly out of thin air, encouraging NFT enthusiasts to do their own on-chain research and learn how blockchain works.
Cult of Forgotten Runes Wizards, introduced on June 30, 2021, is considered by many to be one of the most well-rounded and driven PFP projects in the NFT ecosystem. With a collection of 10,000 pixel-art wizard NFTs, rich lore and a sprawling universe, Forgotten Runes has stood the test of time, maintaining relevance after a full year of ups and downs.
Basically, Forgotten Runes Gained notoriety for its innovative RPG-inspired concept and unique, animated minting process. As the collection evolved, the project team took on initiatives such as a conceptual realm (a metaverse), books of books, burn mechanisms, and more, all with a decentralized approach to IP rights with the legacy entertainment industry becoming Forgotten Runes. and world-building.
