Farcaster, [which I wrote about a few days ago](https://bankless.ghost.io/farcaster-frames/), is becoming a really interesting hub for NFT activity.

And since the Farcaster scene is so early, some of the first NFTs minted around it have understandably mooned in value as excitement here is growing.

The idea? Put yourself in the right place at the right time, and you may just mint some gems.

That said, [make sure you signup if you haven’t already](https://www.farcaster.xyz/apps). In the meantime, let’s get you caught up on the past week in NFTs with this latest news roundup!
