Going Multichain with NFT Pulse 🔍
Weekly Roundup: Coinbase adds $RON, Google x ENS names, big alien ‘Punk sale, & more!
Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs and the onchain frontier
Dear Bankless Nation,
This week, Electric Capital open-sourced NFT Pulse.
It’s an awesome new multichain NFT market stats dashboard, and it’s much needed, because with NFT activity starting to spread out across so many chains, it’s been hard to find good, solid data aggregated in one place until now.
My take? The platform shines in helping you track which marketplaces on which chains are having the biggest activity flows at any given time so you can target your focus to the hottest spots if you’re actively trading NFTs right now.
Anyways, that’s my latest tool tip! For now, it’s that time again—let’s get you up to speed on the past week’s biggest NFT news highlights 👇
