3 most exciting NFT platforms right now (Start using them!)

thank me later ❤️

Estimated read time: 2 minutes 40 seconds.

Last week, Magic Eden launched Mint Terminal, basically pump[dot]fun, but for NFTs.

If that sounds confusing, don't worry! Today's newsletter will break it down for you.

Here are the 3 most exciting NFT platforms right now.

1. MagicEden.io

First, let me explain pump dot fun.

Imagine Twitter, but instead of tweets, the timeline is filled with sh*tcoins. Sounds crazy?

I'll let you be the judge of it 👇

Now (̶d̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶d̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶M̶D̶M̶A̶) replace memecoins with NFTs:

For artists, this might sound bad at first.

But collectors struggle to find art they like.

Twitter is a mess, so is Opensea.

So why not rely on what others buy ? it makes sense from a social POV.

I've built an app around this idea, to help collectors and artists find each other, we're currently in beta you can join by replying to this newsletter

What I like about MagicEden: They innovate and provide interesting new tools to the community (from Solana to Bitcoin to the Mint Terminal)

2. Highlight.xyz

The GOAT.

Nat and his team have built an amazing product. I used Highlight for Bit Rot and will use them for my next project in mid/end of September. Stay tuned!

What I love about Highlight: They offer great tooling for every creator (from 1/1 artworks to onchain generative collections)

An example of their onchain offering (tutorials, gas estimates tooling, etc.)

Oh, did I mention they also sponsor mints ? (meaning some collectors get a free mint!)

Highlight

@Highlight_xyz

Discovery weekly: sponsored mints ‧₊˚ ⋅* ‧₊

Comment or DM us your artwork. We're picking three to sponsor

Love it ❤️

3. Zora.co

I need to confess: I've never used Zora

But here's why you should:

Zora just announced a collaboration with Uniswap to help artists get royalties.

Wait, lemme copy/paste that meme from earlier:

TLDR + ELI5:

You post your art on Zora
People mint and You earn. nothing changes
After the mint, People can still buy ! Directly from a secondary market handled by Uniswap

This helps collectors buy and sell liquid tokens easily (not a new concept, hello Pandora), but also helps artists get royalties thanks to Uniswap's contract.

A really interesting concept !

This part of the newsletter is exclusively for subscribers, they get to see the tweets I bookmarked this week !

DNS can be used as a filesystem. Yes, you heard that right.

DNSFS is a project to store files in other peoples DNS resolver caches.

Sure, your files will only last a few days (at best). Even after adding TXT records across entire world, you're only going to have about 250MB…

Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed today's issue (which I had to speedrun 🤣)

See you next week ✌
