Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & beyond
Dear Bankless Nation,
A bullish indicator for me? When things pick up around the space such that I can’t keep up with all the apps and games I want to try at any given time.
I’m definitely getting that vibe these days.
Lately, whenever I chip away at something on my to-do list, I seem to instantly find two or three more quests to add on. Fine by me, as the target-rich environment means there’s plenty of excitement and many opportunities to be had over the weeks ahead.
No need to hit everything, of course. Just pick a few projects you like, dig in, and see what happens from there.
In the meantime, though, it’s business as usual — let’s get you caught up with your latest weekly NFT roundup. Thanks for reading everyone ✌️
