On Jan 29, 2026, an analysis highlighted how AI-driven coding is sharply reducing the time, effort, and cost required to launch NFT collections such as zOrgz and nftGEN.

As development friction falls, more creators without deep technical skills can experiment with NFTs, potentially fueling a new wave of onchain projects and tools.
