  • Artist Osinachi has two new pieces out on MakersPlace, “Agbomma” and “Nwanyi-Sunday.” These signature works are inspired by Igbo hairdressing traditions.

  • Generative art project Avastars rolled out Scroll to Earn, in which users can consign Avastars to the newly created Global Feed and profit if other collectors buy them.

  • Renowned comic book artist José Delbo sold “The Battle Below Sea” to collector Arctic for 25 ETH on MakersPlace.

  • Interested in booking some ad space in Cryptovoxels? Metaverse Billboards has you covered.

  • The Graph just made it a whole lot easier to query data about NFTs 👀

  • Artist XCOPY sold Layer tokens 11-30 from “The Rabble” for 29.15 ETH on Async Art.

  • Artist Pak has now racked up over 584 ETH in all-time sales on SuperRare.

🕹️ Blockchain Games

  • Ethereum trading card game Gods Unchained rolled out its Direct Challenge mode.

  • Check out “The Battle for HAUTclere,” a BattleDAO competition that lets Axie Infinity players compete to win shards of the legendary Hautclere Axie. Note: the competition was temporarily postponed.

  • No-loss savings game PoolTogether now has more than 10,000 unique addresses participating in its weekly and daily pools.

  • Aave’s Aavegotchi project is a really interesting up-and-comer at the crossroads of DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. Look for similar melds to follow in its wake!

I've been interested in ideas combining DeFi + NFTs. I think what @aavegotchi is doing with gamification of DeFi is really neat. Each Aavegotchi represents DeFi collateral earning yield on @AaveAave but you can also battle them, level them up & equip wearables that change traits

About DeFi Arts Intelligencer

The DeFi Arts Intelligencer is curated by me, William M. Peaster, a professional writer and editor who’s been tracking the Ethereum and DeFi beats in recent years.

I’m passionate about art and a DeFi/NFT optimist, so putting together this newsletter is both fun and informative for me. I hope others may find the content helpful, too. But be mindful, the information herein should not be construed as investment advice. I’m not a financial adviser, and these are my opinions. Always take care to seriously consider the various layers of risk you face in participating in the still-maturing cryptoeconomy.

If you have a DeFi tip or lead, questions or comments, or would be interested in commissioning me for a writing gig, you can ping me at wmpeaster@gmail.com or on Telegram at @wmpeaster.

If you enjoy this newsletter and want to support it, feel free to subscribe or have a like-minded friend subscribe as well. I have collected NFTs open for offers, too, as well as my own art NFTs available on OpenSea. Tips also accepted at wmpeaster.eth. Thanks kindly!
