Dear Bankless Nation,
Optimism’s blooming.
The stewards of the Superchain just awarded millions of $OP in grants to builders across its ecosystem.
The L2’s also welcomed +41,000 new creators since the start of its We ❤️ the Art contest, which just entered its judging period and will feature 1.2 million $OP in prizes.
These windfalls will ripple out through our space, leading to new experiences and better resources around the NFT frontiers of Optimism, Base, Zora, and beyond.
Bullish. Keep your eyes peeled on the Superchain then, as the party’s just starting here. In the meantime, let’s catch you up on everything else—time for your latest weekly NFT roundup! ✌️
