Dear Bankless Nation,

It’s Friday, so you know what that means: roundup time.  

The “Fresh Mint” drop this week is a wildcard, and the “Tool Tip” resource looks perfect for squadding up onchain. 

Read on to learn what these highlights are, as well as for a recap of the whirlwind of NFT news we’ve seen in recent days.

Thanks for being along for the journey everyone, have a great weekend ✌️

🎆 Mint spotlight: Sugartown Oras

It’s estimated ~10% of the world’s population plays Zynga mobile games. That’s why I’m watching the Oras mint for Zynga’s upcoming web3 game, Sugartown. Make no mistake, 100% of the 6,000 pieces up for the Sept. 13th free mint have already been allowlisted, so the Phase 3 public mint may never happen. 

Still, keep your eyes peeled on the off chance that it does, and see where the dust settles after the immediate secondary market action. If prices aren’t insane, this ticket to Sugartown could be an interesting pick up for exploring the future gameplay.
