That said, I think there’s a decent chance Farcaster ages like fine wine and can have breakout success down the road. If that pans out, wouldn’t it be cool to be able to show off you were a user at the start, e.g. like being one of Twitter’s first tweeters? One easy way to hedge here accordingly is to collect the commemorative “Farcaster Is Open For Everyone” NFT, available as a [free mint on Zora](https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x6b2a5667d870b059920526243ae1c7ca3908a1d8/1?referrer=0x08cEb8Bba685ee708C9c4c65576837cbE19B9dea) for the next month! ![via Zora](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1922b507898057d5da583a2601724fad1318acfdf88cafe582cc312b8abe5041.png) via Zora * * * Alpha Reads ----------- ### 🙇 New insightful reads to level up your web3 knowledge! 1. **Flynn Calcutt** on [ZK Hunt](https://0xparc.org/blog/zk-hunt) 🗡️ 2. **Modulus Labs** on [zkGAN NFTs](https://medium.com/@ModulusLabs/chapter-7-2-the-worlds-1st-zkgan-nfts-706051563973) 🎴 3. **Polygon Labs** on [tokenization hype](https://polygon.technology/blog/from-digital-bonds-to-pokemon-cards-tokenization-hype-is-real-and-its-happening-on-polygon) 🟣 * * * Tool Tip -------- > ✨ **My NFT tool of the week:** [**Zora Share Rewards**](https://twitter.com/ourZORA/status/1712174192089575918) I’ve previously written about [Zora Protocol Rewards](https://metaversal.banklesshq.com/p/zora-protocol-rewards) and how artists can earn from them, and now it’s turn for curators to get in on the action.
