We have put together a list of the top 6 NFT projects in Malaysia for enthusiasts and beginners alike.
1. Langkah Sheraton NFT

2. The Tiger Archives
The Tiger Archives is an NFT Collection made by Tiger Beer in collaboration with Pestle & Mortar Clothing (PMC), in conjunction with the Year of the Tiger following the Lunar calendar. Every single NFT in this collection is unique and fully hand-drawn.
What makes this NFT project exclusive is that it’s not merely a piece of art, but it also gives owners a pass to special perks. Some of these perks include access to exclusive merchandise, access to specially curated events, and also priority access to PMC’s collections and events throughout the year.
Each NFT from this collection costs 0.05 ETH + gas and can be found on OpenSea.
3. Punks Malaysia
Punks Malaysia is an NFT collection consisting of multiracial pixel characters with different traits and occupations, all representing our everyday Malaysians. This project was founded in 2021 and is currently one of the hottest in the local NFT scene.
All owners are given perks for future projects. Proceeds from sales of this NFT collection are channeled to NFXT, a not-for-profit organization whose objective is to provide exposure and knowledge to budding artists in the local digital art scene.
4. 8SIAN
8SIAN was founded by Nicole Yap with the desire to celebrate and showcase Asian art and culture. This project features 8,888 NFTs of drawings that showcase women across Asia and their unique characteristics, all created by an artist who goes by the name MrHike.
One thing that distinguishes 8SIAN from other NFTs is that they do not have a conventional roadmap but are focused on building a close-knit community.
5. Bad Ape
Bad Ape is an NFT project featuring 10,000 digital artworks of apes. Each of these are one-of-a-kind, randomly generated using a pool of over 250 unique traits. Since being published in 2021, this project has garnered much attention even from public figures across Asia, one of them being our very own Joe Flizzow.
The team behind this project aims to make it an inclusive one, hence its low minting prices. However, the prices will start hiking once the minting progresses. So now is definitely a good time to purchase if you want in on this project.
6. RoachPunk
RoachPunk is an NFT collection that features roaches, all with different characteristics. Each breed is uniquely generated hence no 2 breeds are identical. This NFT project lives in the BSC Blockchain and is a creative collaboration with over 20 creators.
Some of the team’s future plans include a monthly charity auction commencing in October as an effort to give back to the community. The second phase of the project will also focus on venturing into AR projects.
