My first purchase. When I first saw @TheYatSpot's main (๐) it immediately resonated. While all #Yats are inherently self-expressive, the idea of having a little yat person seemed so natural. Thus, the Persona seed was planted in my ๐ง .
I started by picking up the human and animal faces, and then it struck me that in the current year, #Web3 avatar heads can be anything: a ๐, an โ๏ธ, a stack of ๐ฅ, or a ๐ฎ. ๐heads and ๐งheads were already establish in pop culture.
@GirlWhoShivers sealed the concept for me with Yatville. Her post about Adoptables, their potential variations and accessories blew my๐คฏ. I was in too deep to turn back now: my only choice was to go further in...
@Ripple3037 was the first to propose using the face yats / adoptables to generate web3 avatars, and continues to lead in that space. Check out the ๐จ๐ผ๏ธ in their feed for daily inspiration ๐
@tari has hit a home-run with Yats based on the appeal of universal aesthetics, ease of entry into the #NFT space for #creators, and a viable model of scarcity #economics. Lastly, they are good fun!

UNIVERSALITY #๐ #Yats are modern hieroglyphs. Visual communication is ancient, and crosses all language barriers. The best Yats will capture human experience without being overly complex. Simplicty means mass appeal.
ARTISTS #๐จ #NFTartist will find #Yats an easy medium to work in. The 4/5 string Yats are going to yield the best return for artists on a budget bc these can be created for $4-$8, and offer more room for expression.
