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


Dear Bankless Nation,

At first, people thought we were crazy for using NFTs.

There will probably come a time, though, where people will think you’re crazy if you don’t use them.

We’re not there yet to be sure. But seeing Twitter dive into NFTs this week offers us a glimpse of that future in which these tokens are everywhere.

For now, keep building and have a great weekend!

-WMP

Daily floor + unique holders update. As was inevitable, the @GutterCatGang finally did not have a green day, and had a pretty big correction. The @BoredApeYC pendulum swung their way, furthering the chances of an imminent flippening. Looks like @WickedCraniums took a big hit, i'm

Yesterday was a new high (in volume terms) for Chromie Squigz. @artblocks_io This volume trend doesn't seem to want to slow down. I've pulled this back to mid may to give a reference to where it was just over a month ago.

  • Owen Shen, the creator of 0xmons, just published a wrapper of the Chainlink VRF solution. The new tool makes it easier to randomly distribute NFTs. 

  • Owen also published a Twitter thread this week on zkNFT, an NFT marketplace that’s coming to the zkSync Ethereum scaling solution. 

  • Want to make complex NFT swaps with a single signature? That’s now around the corner courtesy of EIP3074.

Imagine doing complex swaps with a single message signature on Metamask. No need to do multiple approvals. No need to pay ETH for approvals/swap. Just sign a SINGLE message to execute it all. Hoping that EIP-3074 goes live this October so we can make this a reality 💪

💎 DeFi x NFTs

  • NFTX soft launched its v2 system and shortly thereafter resolved a bug in the PUNK vault. 

  • Speaking of NFTX v2, the way the project interacts with CryptoPunks is going to lead to more than a few 0 ETH Punk “sales” going forward. Not to fret, this is routine NFTX activities!

gaus.eth @alexgausman
Expect a lot more 0 ETH buys now that NFTX v2 PUNK vault is using unwrapped cryptopunks. Fun fact, Cryptopunks contract was pre ERC721 so instead of approving and letting a contract pull, what you do is offer for 0 ETH to the contract and then it buys.

Punk 3143 bought for 0 by 0x269616 from 0x8f217d. https://t.co/YCtoz712VG #cryptopunks #ethereum https://t.co/fhIGaxbQ0C
