Upcoming Drops: August 14 – August 20
Let’s face it: The NFT space moves really fast. Considering how quickly things can change in the metaverse, a week in NFTs might as well be a month IRL.
Don’t get us wrong — the merrier, the more people onboarded into the space. But because of the constant influx of great art and ideas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with all the news, launches, and general happenings.
Well, you can put the days of endless Twitter and Discord scrolling behind you as we pull together a weekly list of upcoming NFT drops you don’t want to miss. Here’s what to look out for this week.
The Boys of Summer by Mitchell F. Chan
Who: Mitchell F. Chan
What: Digital game artwork within a generative PFP sports collection of 999 baseball characters that probe contemporary obsession with quantifying self and challenges our understanding of success.
When: August 16 at 1:30 p.m. ET, with a mint price of 0.12 ETH.
Where: Wild.xyz
Why: The Boys of Summer by Mitchell F. Chan explores three converging currents of contemporary culture – data in crypto, baseball, and the quantification of self through numbers. By creating PFPs, Chan provides an incisive commentary on how we attribute worth to digital art in today’s marketplaces. Baseball’s inherent statistical nature reflects the game’s broader theme of alignment and quantification.
ZTX
Who: ZTX, whose parent company is Zepeto.

Where: Presale hosted on Helio, where buyers receive the NFT on Arbitrum after OpenSea public mint concludes. Price is TBD.
Why: The Genesis Mint by ZTX will kick off the development of the ZTX NFT ecosystem, allowing early supporters to collect one of the first-ever ZTX NFTs – District Homes. These in-game assets represent a collector’s actual home inside the ZTX metaverse platform.
