Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & collectibles


Dear Bankless Nation,

This week The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) acquired not one, but two NFTs: Unsupervised by Refik Anadol and a PFP from Ian Chengโ€™s dynamic conceptual art series 3FACE.

In 100 years when every museum has 1,000s of NFTs in their holdings, early acquisitions like this will look absolutely prescient.

For now though, letโ€™s just round up all the other NFT intrigues from this week! Thanks for reading everyone, have a great weekend, and stay creative โœŒ๏ธ

  • CrypToadz #4030 was bought for 1,055 WETH in a transaction suspected to be related to money laundering.

๐ŸŽ† Mint spotlight: Farcaster Is Open For Everyone

Farcaster, my favorite crypto social project right now, went permissionless this week so now anyone can sign up for an account on the Optimism L2. 

That said, I think thereโ€™s a decent chance Farcaster ages like fine wine and can have breakout success down the road. If that pans out, wouldnโ€™t it be cool to be able to show off you were a user at the start, e.g. like being one of Twitterโ€™s first tweeters? 

One easy way to hedge here accordingly is to collect the commemorative โ€œFarcaster Is Open For Everyoneโ€ NFT, available as a free mint on Zora for the next month!

๐Ÿ™‡ New insightful reads to level up your web3 knowledge!

1. Flynn Calcutt on ZK Hunt ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ

2. Modulus Labs on zkGAN NFTs ๐ŸŽด

3. Polygon Labs on tokenization hype ๐ŸŸฃ


โœจ My NFT tool of the week: Zora Share Rewards

Iโ€™ve previously written about Zora Protocol Rewards and how artists can earn from them, and now itโ€™s turn for curators to get in on the action. Thatโ€™s because Zora just added a โ€œShareโ€ button to every Zora mint page that automatically generates a referral link connected to your wallet address. Any time someone mints through your link, youโ€™ll earn 0.000111 ETH a pop!

๐Ÿ˜œ It was probably self-dealing, but what if it wasnโ€™tโ€ฆ
