Once you get into the world of web3/NFTs, sooner or later you are going to have at least a few NFTs that you want to let others see. For a little background, as of right now my NFTs are on Ethereum and Polygon so my tests only consider those networks. Note, I made sample galleries on each option but as time goes on I could end up no longer using certain options.
Unstoppable Domains (UD)
UD has two ways you can show off your NFTs:
- On your UD profile, you can set your avatar/profile pic as a NFT. Unfortunately, it seems the NFT must be from a verified collection so this might limit your options. You can read more about the limits here ( https://support.unstoppabledomains.com/support/solutions/articles/48001203741-add-an-nft-pfp-to-your-domain ).
- Using this link ( https://unstoppabledomains.com/nft-collection ) you can create a NFT gallery. Unfortunately there are no real options on which NFTs to show or hide, which immediately makes this option lower on my list. I also noticed that my Polygon NFTs did not show up. I reached out to UD support on both items.
One interesting thing about the NFT Gallery is that the gallery is created on a decentralized website, so this is also a chance to see a real example of how that works. However, due to lack of Polygon NFTs or controls over which to show/hide, this isn’t an option I plan to use.
My UD Sample:
UD NFT Gallery: Go to the profile above and then click “Go” under “Website”
If you plan to set up your own UD domain, use my referral link to get $10 off with a purchase of $40 or more. UD referral: https://unstoppabledomains.com/?ref=8dc35e49ca2d4a7
Nametag.org (NT)
Right now, Nametag is one of my favorite options for showing off NFTs because it is right on my NT profile which is sort of my web3 profile page. There are a few ways you can show off your NFTs:
- Your profile/avatar on your NT profile can be set to a NFT, and it doesn’t have to be from a verified collection.
- You can select a NFT to be your profile background
- You can pick multiple NFTs to show (or hide) so you can control which NFTs you share.
As of right now, NT doesn’t support Polygon but I believe it is in the works. Additionally NT isn’t open to public minting, so you have to be part of a collaboration project to mint your Nametag.

Lazy.com
Unlike UD and NT which are more of a “profile” page with additional information, the Lazy.com option is just for NFTs.
Key points
- Supports Ethereum and Polygon NFTs
- You can hide certain NFTs so they don’t show up, and you can also “pin” a NFT so it shows up at the top of your page with a caption.
- Not all my NFTs show up, so I think there might be an issue with my account or some limit of NFTs that it can pull in. I reached out to support with no response, if they do respond and fix the issue I’ll update this post.

OnCyber
This one takes a unique approach compared to the other options I looked at. Basically you are setting up a 3D/VR gallery to show off your NFTs. I guess I like simple things so I wasn’t a huge fan, but the concept is cool and feels like an art gallery/museum. I just don’t know if people will actually move around and look at everything, but maybe people are more patient than I am.
Key points:
- Uses a 3D/VR style gallery, feels like an art gallery.
- Supports Ethereum and Polygon NFTs
- You pick which NFTs you show off, but it is a one by one process.

Bottom line: Ultimately there are many options to display your NFT collection, and the decision on which is best will probably be driven by personal preference and features that are important to you. Don’t forget you can always just share your OpenSea profile if you don’t like the options above.
