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


Dear Bankless Nation, 

This week was all about Loot in the NFT ecosystem. 

These “randomized adventurer gear” NFTs pave the way to seemingly endless Web3 possibilities around games and the metaverse, so they’ve captured the imaginations of more than a few Ethereum users in rapid fashion.

An example of a Loot bag.

Still catching up? Bankless has your back! Get up to speed with all our Loot coverage from the past few days:

  • Loot Explained 💫

  • The Metaverse Emerges

  • Bankless Weekly Rollup Sept. 3rd

Beyond Loot’s quick ascension there were plenty of other big NFT happenings this week, so let’s explore the highlights per usual ⬇️

Why am I always late for these, shouldn't Dabdragon be able to make some money? One day I guess. I am always so busy supporting others that I miss these things
