Let’s face it: The NFT space moves really fast. Considering how quickly things can change in the metaverse, a week in NFTs might as well be a month IRL.
Don’t get us wrong — the more people onboarded into the space, the merrier. But because of the constant influx of great art and ideas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all the news, launches, and general happenings.
Well, you can put the days of endless Twitter and Discord scrolling behind you, as we put together a weekly list of upcoming NFT drops you definitely don’t want to miss. Here’s what to look out for this week.
I'm pleased to announce my 2nd project at @artblocks_io!

Who: Kazuhiro Tanimoto
What: 205 algorithmically generated NFTs
When: November 7 @ 1 p.m. ET
Where: Art Blocks
Why: With Wabi Sabi, Japanese code artist Kazuhiro Tanimoto seeks to bring the ancient Japanese aesthetic sense of the same name to the blockchain via Art Blocks.

What: Physical x Digital NFT Book
When: November 7 @ 6.30 p.m. ET
Where: Nifty Gateway
Why: “CRYPTO ART – Begins” is an NFT project that seeks to cross the boundary between physical and digital art and literature.

By collecting a piece from this drop, holders will receive the bookstore edition of “CRYPTO ART – Begins” one year before public distribution.
