“The degen meta is the current trend in the NFT space where teams will launch projects as free mints and provide little/no roadmap. This trend was popularized by projects like goblintownwtf. This value prop is nice in a bear market because there is no financial risk to minting.

The scammers use this to their advantage. Instead of creating fake projects to scam you of your ETH, instead they are now create FOMO inducing free “degen” mint projects that trick you into granting them access to transfer your NFTs out of your wallet.” @Source
