PFP NFT collections are sets of profile-picture artworks, usually thousands of pieces with different traits, minted as tokens on a blockchain. Owners use them as avatars and often as a sign of membership in a community. This page lists seven of them, most on Ethereum, including Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Milady Maker, Hashmasks and Azuki Elementals.
These projects are not DeFi apps, so there is no yield or TVL to compare. A creator mints a collection and sells it, then earns from the initial sale and often a royalty or fee on later trades, depending on the marketplace and the contract. Some teams also expand into tokens, merchandise or media. Moonbirds has a BIRB token on Solana, and Pudgy Penguins has a PENGU token and a merchandise shop. Collectors make money, or lose it, only if they can resell at a different price, and demand can disappear quickly.
When comparing collections, look at supply and how many holders there are, recent trading activity and floor price, the chain and fees, and what rights come with ownership. Also consider the team's track record and how the community reacted to past launches. Mutant Ape Yacht Club and the Remilia collections have clear histories you can research, while Azuki Elementals shows how a launch can be criticised afterwards. This is information, not financial advice, and NFTs are high-risk assets.

Frequently asked questions
What is a PFP NFT collection?
A PFP (profile picture) NFT is a digital image from a collection, usually thousands of pieces with different traits, that people use as an avatar on social platforms. Ownership is recorded on a blockchain, so the holder controls the token itself. The token does not by default include copyright, so check the collection's terms.
Are PFP NFTs a good investment?
Not necessarily. Prices move with demand and can fall sharply, and some collections have lost most of their trading interest. Azuki Elementals, for example, drew wide criticism after its June 2023 sale. Treat any purchase as speculative and only spend what you can afford to lose.
Which blockchains do these collections use?
Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Redacted Remilio Babies, Hashmasks, Azuki Elementals and Milady Maker are listed here as Ethereum collections. Moonbirds is tied to Solana through its BIRB token, which launched in January 2026. Pudgy Penguins is listed without a chain, as it covers a brand, a PENGU token and a merchandise shop.
How do Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Milady Maker and Remilio Babies differ?
Mutant Ape Yacht Club is a spin-off of Bored Ape Yacht Club from Yuga Labs, with up to 20,000 Mutant Apes. Milady Maker is a 10,000-piece collection by Remilia, and Redacted Remilio Babies is a separate 10,000-piece Remilia collection built on the Milady Maker style. They have different teams, artwork and communities.
How much does it cost to buy a PFP NFT?
Some pieces can be expensive, but there is usually a floor price set by the cheapest listing. You also pay network fees and marketplace fees. Check the current floor, recent sales volume and fees on a marketplace before you buy, because these figures change daily.
Do PFP collections have tokens too?
Not always. Holding an NFT is different from holding a coin, though some projects link the two. Pudgy Penguins has a PENGU token and Moonbirds has a BIRB token. Tokens are separate assets with their own risks, so read what each one actually offers before buying.
Which PFP NFT collection has the highest DappsAtlas score?
Mutant Ape Yacht Club has the highest score at 6.5/10, ahead of Redacted Remilio Babies (6.2) and Hashmasks (5.2). Scores weigh security, ease of use, fees and features, and are based only on facts we could verify.
