Dear Bankless Nation,

What an incredibly busy week for the NFT ecosystem it’s been!

With all the hustle and bustle lately it can be seriously hard to keep up with everything that’s been going on.

Don’t feel overwhelmed: keep focusing on the things that interest you, chip away at the work and learning you have in front of you, and you’ll do just fine.

Reading the Metaversal weekly recap every Friday helps too, of course 😄 Have a great weekend everyone.
