# FTX NFTs 😐 *Author: William M. Peaster* *Published: Nov 3, 2023* *Source: https://www.bankless.com/ftx-nfts* --- Dear Bankless Nation, Now that Sam Bankman-Fried was just found guilty on [7 different counts](https://twitter.com/innercitypress/status/1720226436382970336), I’ve been doing some reflecting on the FTX saga. One thing I keep coming back to is the shuttering of the FTX NFT platform, which relied on a private server so now [all its NFTs have broken metadata](https://twitter.com/jacobdotsol/status/1600526700982710273). Yikes. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f08faf2fb-7f37-45f3-9695-c98937322f8e_774x644-png.jpg)Of course, the episode’s so instructive because it’s a recent high-profile example of how private servers are the *worst* way to underpin NFTs as far as longevity is concerned. Yet to be sure not everything has to be [fully onchain](https://bankless.ghost.io/onchain-nfts/). Next week I’ll be doing a write-up on the basics of bespoke storage networks like IPFS, Arweave, and Filecoin, so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime have a great weekend everyone and thanks for reading. Now here’s your latest weekly NFT roundup! ✌️ -WMP --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f07911ff1-5e4b-49e2-87fe-a00de3e56f01_1215x308.png) ### **📊 The big picture** > Over the past week, the floor-based market cap of the NFT space stayed steady at [5.1 million ETH](https://app.nftvaluations.com/) for a 0% 7-day change ⭕ ### **🔝 7D top collections by volume** ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f737f0547-c5af-449a-b52a-64e8f88f5bf7_1600x612-png.jpg)*via [OpenSea Pro](https://pro.opensea.io/)* --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f91ad2ec1-8821-4ad3-a499-1b84660f7898_1216x308.png) ### **📰 General news** - **Johnny Mack **unveiled the [Subscription Token Protocol (STP)](https://twitter.com/_nonlinear/status/1719392504271794551). - **Jokerace **added [support for NFT allowlists](https://twitter.com/jokerace_xyz/status/1719750385995522276). - **Lens **completed [Phase 1 of its V2 protocol migration](https://twitter.com/LensProtocol/status/1720411036665487665). - **OpenSea** announced [layoffs ahead of “OpenSea 2.0.”](https://twitter.com/dfinzer/status/1720516605933756514) - **OpenSea Pro** added [support for Polygon](https://twitter.com/openseapro/status/1720125510305386586). - **Party **revealed an [Add New Members feature](https://twitter.com/prtyDAO/status/1719793263278747955?s=20). - **Phantom **rolled out a [Camera Mint feature on mobile](https://twitter.com/phantom/status/1718991171274350759). - **Rarible **launched [RaribleX](https://twitter.com/rarible/status/1719716070721020264). ### **🏆 Digital collectibles** - **RTFKT **revealed plans for its [Evo Vial Evolution event](https://twitter.com/RTFKT/status/1719406423312880080). - **0xmons **launched [the AKOLYTES collection](https://twitter.com/0xmons/status/1720490844036460846). ### **🎨 Cryptoart & music** - **Folia **hosted its [*Coordinates *](https://twitter.com/foliafoliafolia/status/1719776326561714339)[drop by Travess Smalley](https://twitter.com/foliafoliafolia/status/1719776326561714339). - **Foundation **intro’d [Teams to its Worlds system](https://twitter.com/saturnial/status/1719755765626573071). - **fxhash 2.0** is launching [December 1st](https://twitter.com/fx_hash_/status/1720508869942899181). - **Gemma**, a new onchain art ecosystem, [launched on Zora](https://twitter.com/gemmaprojects/status/1719751696564269116?s=20). - **Sound **launched its [multiplayer social feed](https://twitter.com/soundxyz_/status/1719768318918443240?s=20). - **XCOPY **minted a new collection, [*REMNANTS*](https://twitter.com/XCOPYART/status/1720087524176282043), for [Rare Pass holders](https://twitter.com/SuperRare/status/1720091658837275020). - **Zien **kicked off its [New China Contemporary drop](https://twitter.com/joinzien/status/1720048116915699999). ### **🎮 Decentralized gaming** - **Axie Infinity **kicked off its [Origins Season 6 Mystic Era](https://blog.axieinfinity.com/p/s6-mystic). - **Forgotten Runes** is launching [the Runiverse game next week](https://twitter.com/dotta/status/1720129109517332609). - **Pixels**, a pets adventure game,** **[migrated to Ronin](https://twitter.com/Ronin_Network/status/1719165011854049305). - **Project T** added support for [Axie Experience Points (AXP)](https://twitter.com/AxieInfinity/status/1720010451478806660). - **Solana Labs** unveiled the [GameShift beta, an API for game devs](https://twitter.com/solanalabs/status/1719384781601882330). - **Small Brain Games **intro’d Drawtech, a [new fully onchain mobile game](https://twitter.com/0xsmallbrain/status/1719550772244033935). ### **🌐 Virtual worlds** - **Decentraland **rolled out [Decentraland Worlds](https://twitter.com/decentraland/status/1719045844400271756), i.e. personal virtual spaces. ### **🪙 NFTfi** - **NFTfi.com **added [support for unwrapped CryptoPunks](https://twitter.com/NFTfi/status/1720077517162471738). - **Sudoswap **launched a [Creator Dashboard system](https://twitter.com/BasedGhouls/status/1719884818240962897). --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/e4/b7/e4b77544-5a37-4f0b-8824-8440aa348476/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fsubstack-post-media-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2fdaf4b865-ffcd-40ca-bf15-7bc4afb1664a_1214x309.png) #### **🎆 Mint spotlight: **[Forget About Time](https://twitter.com/holographxyz/status/1719746446164197847) > Did you catch my write-up on [cross-chain NFTs](https://bankless.ghost.io/cross-chain-nfts/) earlier this week? Then you remember Holograph, which is known for its “holographic asset” hNFTs. If you’re interested in cross-chain NFTs but have never minted one before, you might consider the current free drop on Holograph, *Forget About Time* by Clara Luzian a.k.a. [Renderfruit](https://twitter.com/renderfruit). At the time of publishing there’s still just under a day left to mint, and since it’s an hNFT you can collect on Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Zora Network, Mantle, BNB Chain, or Avalanche.
