    DeGods DUST Token Rallies on Weird, Totally Unsubstantiated GTA Rumors

    DUST, the native token for NFT collection DeGods, rallied from $0.62 to almost $0.80 today on the heels of a weird and totally unsubstantiated rumor that the new Grand Theft Auto will feature the cryptocurrency.  The rumor has since been shot down, but it was enough to send the token—down over 90% from its all-time high—on a wild ride.  DUST is a utility and governance token, on both Ethereum and Solana, that was initially distributed to DeGods holders through their staking program. Everyone who...

    Degens Have Already Found a Way to Make Money on CZ Stepping Down

    Crypto degens have found a silver lining to the news that Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) plans to step down and plead guilty to violating anti-money-laundering laws: speculating on a freshly launched shitcoin called "CZ." The now ex-CEO, famous for touting “4” on Twitter to calm his millions of followers whenever FUD rears its ugly head, will see his company pay $4.3 billion in fines to the U.S. government. People across the industry are rushing to Twitter to voice their opinions on the mat...

    Will AI Use Crypto? Here’s What’s Driving AI Token FOMO

    It’s hard to think of a subsector of crypto more hyped up than AI. AI-based tokens—meaning tokens that rely on AI for some of their utility—are everywhere from Injective, which uses AI to “to rapidly ask, search and find relevant info when building on Injective” to AnimeAIToken, which does… well, I’m not exactly sure. It’s hard to miss these tokens since some of them have pumped more than a freshly drilled Texas oil well. Injective, for example, saw its token increase by 300% since June when it...

    What’s Driving the Solana Rally?

    Solana rallied over 24% during the past 24 hours, hitting $45 at its peak. More impressive: It’s up nearly 80% in the past 30 days. On the face of it, analysts say we’re seeing a classic short squeeze. But driving that is a narrative that basically says that Solana is not only as good as Ethereum—it promises to replace it. For the longest time, SOL holders were derided as “Soylana Manlets.” The network was especially hard hit by the FTX debacle because FTX and Solana were heavily invested in eac...

    Breakout NFT Conference Is Building Web3 Communities in São Paulo

    Forget About DeFi Summer: NFT Autumn is Arriving

    While we’ve all heard the well-trod mantra that “bear markets are for builders,” until very recently, it felt like hardly anyone in crypto was building anything very interesting these days.  All the NFT drops have used the same old recycled concepts. DeFi still hasn’t recovered from the Luna PTSD. And to top it all off, the Tornado Cash sanctions have us wondering if the risks of building in DeFi are higher than we anticipated.  But when I was doomscrolling a few weeks ago, I finally found the e...

  • Web3 IRL: How Digital Art at Physical Gatherings Is Building Community

    If you’ve finally wrapped your head around the idea of artwork as NFTs—blockchain-based tokens that prove ownership of a digital asset—consider now how that concept could find its way back into the physical world. As quarantine restrictions lift, Web3 and NFT companies are leveraging more and more physical activations to grow their communities. A great example would be at last month's Coachella music festival, where Vault721, a full-service Web3 agency, took over the Villa Royale resort in Palm...

    DAO Framework Builder Moloch Launches V3 at ETHDenver

    After the ConstitutionDAO saga in November arguably brought DAOs mainstream, more decentralized autonomous organizations are cropping up and quickly raising millions of dollars for real-world causes, from FreeRossDAO to AssangeDAO.  But while the massive amount of money DAOs can generate and the purchases they make are regularly covered, what tends to get overlooked is the technical framework underpinning DAOs. On Thursday at ETHDenver, Moloch DAO announced the launch of the third version of it...

    'NFTs for DeFi Natives': OlympusDAO Launching NFT Marketplace

    This story comes out of PubDAO, a decentralized news wire. While we've seen plenty of DAOs get into NFT collecting and investing, we haven’t yet seen a DAO actually build out a platform for the blockchain-based collectibles. But OlympusDAO, which was developed as a sort of crypto central bank, is setting its sights on an NFT marketplace. OlympusDAO has announced plans to soft-launch the Olympus Odyssey NFT marketplace on March 3. Why an NFT marketplace? To generate revenue for OlympusDAO members...
