While many of us here ask "wen gen 3?", I'd like to share some valuable reddit avatar tools that you may find useful

I've had a few people here in the comments ask me about things like avatar portfolio trackers and where to buy/sell certain avatar collections, so below is a short list of Reddit avatar tools I find useful:

Top of the list for me is the avatardegen website. This features floor prices and recent sales, with direct links to all the gen 1, 2, and wsb avatars. There are fake reddit avatars on OpenSea, so using the correct links will help to keep you safe (the genuine avatars will always have the OpenSea verified blue tick).

The site also has a portfolio feature, so by pasting your public wallet address you can see what your avatars are worth (free avatars aren't currently included, with the exception of wsb). This is perfectly safe. Your wallet address is already public and you don't need to connect your wallet to the site.

Another fun tool is the reddit avatar explorer which allows you to view and download your current avatar on to other avatar backgrounds. So even though The Hands might be out of your budget, you can still take a look at what your avatar would look like on The Hands background and pretend you own it, while crying because you don't (that's what I do anyway).

Avatar market cap allows you to view the market cap of all the avatars, including the free ones, with links to OpenSea. It also has a portfolio tracker.

And finally redditavatars.io is a great resource for showing stats of % unique owners, daily volume, and some helpful guides.

Snooavatars send email notifications about when a particular avatar you may be interested in becomes listed on OpenSea. The creator also said there will be a notification sent when gen 3 is dropped in the shop, although this is a paid premium feature.

There are also helpful guides in the avatar trading sub.

Bonus tip: You can make sure your bank card works with Reddit before gen 3 drops by purchasing a small amount of reddit coins. If the transaction is successful, you should be good to go (be aware that some banks may freeze your card if you make multiple transactions in quick succession). Some people also suggest using Google play credits, although I haven't tried this myself.

Please feel free to share any avatar resources or tips that I may have missed in the comments.

Anyway…when gen 3?
