Web3 can be a confusing place. If you’re new, words like “blockchain,” “NFT,” and “smart contract” are opaque terms that do more to suppress curiosity than invite it.

NFT events are broken. This fact shouldn’t be news to anyone within Web3. While the vast community of creators and builders have flourished in curating offshoot activations surrounding NFT.NYC and the like, the conferences and conventions themselves continue to fall short. Of course, there are exceptions. When the NFT community itself is the planner of…
When it comes to the environment, NFTs have a bad reputation — much of it undeserved. At the height of the “NFTs harm the environment” frenzy in mid-2022, wildly uncontextualized claims about single blockchain transactions consuming as much energy as a mid-sized house does in three days proliferated across the Twitter-sphere.
