Moonly
Find The Best Upcoming Solana NFT
Summer is always slow for business for both the NFT ecosystem and regular business, so I decided to take a break from Discord and Twitter for a while. However, I still needed to be present in our development server, with a core team. I know, it looked pretty dead here, especially when the founder is not active, but sometimes just get lost, and let everything go.
I was also working with Automatio, our father project that funded Moonly pre-mint and even now. Keep in mind that since Moonly doesn’t produce any revenue for a long time (except royalties that ended up last year for us), Automatio is the project that funds us now. And a bit of money from our pockets.
Also, keep in mind, that in a couple of months, actually November, it will be 2 years for how long we are working on Moonly.
Karamendos is important because it’s gonna accelerate the project that is already built, has users, making money, and has huge potential. It will keep us alive, while Moonly grows the user base, clients, and projects using our tools, and when the bull run hits, we will be ready for it.
I mentioned before, that Moonly holders will benefit from the Karamendos in multiple ways, and one will be the airdrop. I will write about this in detail in the next announcement.
Added a new feature Announcement Catcher, that will automatically pick up new announcements and display them on the Moonly website, under the proper NFT collection. This will give more exposure to the projects in the future. 98% work is done, we just need to display the data on the website itself.
Probably around 80% of the work is done for Staking V2. To remind you, Staking v2, will be far more flexible with its missions, multiple rewards, integration with our Raffle platform, etc. I am excited about it honestly.

The extracted data can be viewed within the Automatio dashboard and is stored on a dedicated cloud server. It is available in various file formats (such as CSV, JSON, RSS, and API) allowing for immediate access and use.
Can Automatio automate repetitive tasks?
Yes, Automatio features a “looping system” that allows actions to automatically repeat within the parameters defined by the user. This feature simplifies and automates repetitive tasks.

Constantly improving and exploring different aspects of application.
To mention that we defined Twitter Growth Strategy, which we started applying the last week.
There were a lot of small bugs and small fixes which needed to be solved, and they are not worth mentioning here since its very technical.
Our next big goals for the near future are:
Portfolio tracker
Staking as a service
Discord bot and tools for projects
Expand to other chains. ETH, APTOS, etc.
And something really big, which I will not discuss until we deliver the above-mentioned features.

Good day, good people 🌻. Hope you all have a great week.
I didn't share last week's progress update, because it flew super fast. I was doing everything I needed to move the project forward. From UI/UX design, testing, researching, making a lot of decisions, and giving the right directions to my team.
To remind you, I am working on a project called https://moon.ly which discovers upcoming NFT's, currently on Solana blockchain, but soon on others chains as well. The current version is built using no-code tools Like Webflow, https://automatio.co, Integromat, Google Sheet. Since we gonna build a lot of tools around Moonly, we decided to build a new version from scratch using Javascript frameworks.
Last ~2 weeks we had a great project, even we were stuck on some unplanned things. If you are aware of Pareto Principle, the last 20% takes even more energy than the first 80%. Small details always take a lot of time.
I am not looking to make it a perfect pixel, and I am totally aware that we need to ship the first version with basic features. But sometimes you get stuck on something you didn't plan at all. For example, we thought that our "Load more" is working great, but when we added filtering, it screwed our concept, which directly impact UX.
In short here is the progress:
-
A designed couple of more pages for the new version
-
Improved SEO which is very important for us
-
Added tags, so now we can tag projects by utility or type
-
Added ability for blockchains other than Solana
-
Dynamic breadcrumbs
-
Filtering
-
Search functionality
-
We added over 300 NFT projects in our DB both manual and automated (Automatio :D)
-
In the last 2 weeks Moonly got around 5,000 visitors
-
Created our public Discord server for NFT people. By the way, our complete team communication is happening on a private Discord server, and I really like it much more than Slack.
-
We got our third update from the pixel art designer for our own NFT collection. And it's so cute! Check it out here https://imgur.com/a/UFPJBbe. Can't wait for the next update where he gonna add new traits and accessories.
-
Last few days I was joining a good number of Twitter Spaces. It's a good way to connect, learn, share what you know, and make new friends.
Last time I mention that our team consists of:
-
Two developers, one backend/DevOps, and another full-stack
-
One virtual Assistant
-
Writer
-
UI Designer & Webflow developer (my wife Jelena)
-
UI/UX designer (me)
-
Growth hacker (me)
-
Pixel Art designer for NFT
-
Everything else, me, since I need to glue, manage, and decide on most of the things.
But we also brought to the team a video maker, our old friend to help us create a great motion video for Moonly. Excited about that as well.
Now let me share some good last week's NFT projects and also a few upcoming ones, but please have in mind this is NFA (not financial advice) and always DYOR (do your own research).
Upcoming project:
Already minted NFT projects, but worth checking:
And that would be all for this update. Would like to hear what you think about the progress so far and also did you jump into NFT or Solana train.
Peace,
Hello people 👋, how is your week? Hope you did at least half of what you wanted.
Last week I introduced my new project called https://moon.ly which discovers upcoming NFT's, currently on Solana blockchain only. In the near future, It will also offer a set of tools based on analyzing the various data source to help people in the NFT space make better decisions when minting or trading.
The initial version of Moonly was built using no-code tools like https://automatio.co which collected a bunch of data, Webflow to put a website together, and Integromat, to automate some processes. Of course, there is a lot of manual work involved done by me and my VA (virtual assistant) Nikola.
As I write, Moonly is getting rebuilt from the scratch using tech like Next.js, Express, GraphQL, etc. We are building custom solutions because of more flexibility and scalability. For example, Webflow has a very annoying limit of 10k items in the CMS database, and a lot of people complain about it for years, but they don't listen. To be honest, that is one of the main reasons I decided to build a custom solution from scratch, but ofc there are other reasons which I will talk about in the next update.
In the last 7-8 days we did:
- Designed UI for NFT details page with all kinds of metrics https://i.imgur.com/JBcxOAv.png
- Converted Ui to a Next.js frontend https://i.imgur.com/gfzxim1.png
- Built backend and database structure
- Started connecting with external data sources and API's
- Started building administration panel
- Added 200+ NFT projects
- Moonly generated ~1600 visitors in the last 7 days https://i.imgur.com/WyI5LmX.png. Needed to exclude Direct traffic, because there is a bunch of bot attack there.
We are also preparing our own NFT, but more on that when we have some progress updates.
Currently, the team consists of:
- Two developers, one backend/DevOps, and another full-stack
- One virtual Assistant
- Writer
- UI Designer & Webflow developer (my wife Jelena)
- UI/UX designer (me)
- Growth hacker (me)
- Pixel Art designer for NFT
- Everything else of course me, since I need to glue, manage and decide on most of the things.
Last week I shared the top 30 Solana NFT projects by volume. Today I am sharing the next 30 projects also by volume.

Good day, good people! After a short break of sharing my progress update for Automatio, I am back with a new project. Meanwhile I got married and became a father (minted) beautiful girl called M....
As you may know already, I devote time to building a no-code web automation tool called Automatio (a powerful web scraper and bot builder). But I also dived into Solana NFT blockchain development a couple of months ago. And despite the challenges, it’s been an exciting ride.
The project I am currently developing is https://moon.ly. It's a fresh database of trending NFT projects, that helps you recommend the best upcoming NFT projects worth investing in on Solana.
I’ve been on to NFT for quite some time now, and I know how difficult it can be to decide what NFT project is worth the time and investment. This problem and other salient ones are what I vision Moonly to solve. Moonly is curently at its prototype stage, and its getting rebuilt from scratch using Javascript stack.
Moonly is able to recognize possible blue-chip NFT projects analyzing over 18 different factors like social stats, engagement, validation of followers, growth rate, doxxed founders, roadmap, Discord community, etc. It will offer a set of tools to help you monitor existing NFT projects and make better decisions on trading. Like Floor Price, Volume, Listing count historical data, undercut opportunities, and more.
Here you can find top 15 Solana NFT projects of all time, sorted by volume. Those links below are to the Moonly pages where you can find more informations about each project. Once have in mind what you currently see is just a prototype and fully rebuilt version is comming soon with much more data for each of the project.

I would like to know are you into NFT game, if yes, on what chain you are Solana or Ethereum, and what NFT project you are holding. And would appreciate your honest feedback on the project itself.
Peace,
