Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs and the onchain frontier


Dear Bankless Nation,

Over the next couple of months, I’ll be leveling up the Metaversal experience.  

The first part of the revamp kicks off next Thursday, April 4th, when I’ll migrate the newsletter from Substack into Bankless.com.

At that point, your Substack subscription will evolve into a Bankless account, and you’ll start receiving Metaversal emails from team@bankless.com. 

This aesthetic and technical rebrand will pave the way for me to start the 2nd phase of the revamp, introducing new types of content and new types of experiences around Metaversal, that I’ll activate in the weeks ahead. 

The goal? Make this the best onchain culture newsletter in all of crypto! 

I’m currently brainstorming new modules to roll out—e.g. “AI Advice,” “Farcaster Finds,” “Game of the Week,” “Metaverse Meets,” “NFT Tool Tips,” etc.—so if you have thoughts on things you’d like to see hit harder in this newsletter, I’m all ears at william@bankless.com. 

It’ll be the same great Metaversal you know and love, just bigger and better, so be on the lookout for the start of the evolution next Thursday. In the meantime, let’s get you caught up on the past week in NFTs per usual! 👇
