Dear Bankless Nation,

This week was all about [Loot](https://twitter.com/lootproject) in the NFT ecosystem.

These “randomized adventurer gear” NFTs pave the way to seemingly endless Web3 possibilities around games and the metaverse, so they’ve captured the imaginations of more than a few Ethereum users in rapid fashion.
