It's been a drama-filled week, with project founders being called out left and right for cash grabs or art theft, NFT influencers getting exposed, and derivatives forking communities.
But hey - it's Friday! And we've got some positive news to share.&nbsp;
<h2>Key Takeaways:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Rug radio launched "Learn 2 Earn" program</li>
<li>X2Y2 airdrop claim re-opens</li>
<li>Cameo Pass sells out, hints at future plans</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2>Rug Radio "Learn 2 Earn" launches</h2>
Rug Radio officially launched its first course of its brand new &ldquo;Learn 2 Earn&rdquo; program yesterday evening. The first 4-week course is titled &ldquo;Wen DAO?&rdquo; and will provide a &ldquo;deep dive into all things DAO&rdquo;.&nbsp;
The first class seemed to be a hit, as over 3400 attended the Twitter spaces, with over 300 questions submitted in the first 15 minutes. Speakers included Syndicate DAO, Will Papper, Jean Carlos, Mel and John Knopf.
The &ldquo;earn&rdquo; component comes in two ways: through asking questions live during the class, and then by passing a test at the end of the four week program. To qualify, one needs to own a Rug Radio Membership NFT and then simply attend.

&nbsp;
<h2>X2Y2 Airdrop Claim Re-opens</h2>
The latest OpenSea competitor X2Y2 finally re-opened its airdrop claim after a 48+ hour pause.&nbsp;
In addition, they launched their first and round of NFT staking rewards along with WETH sharing based on platform spend. The WETH rewards were minimal, as only $10k in volume was processed day 1. But the NFT rewards were plentiful - nearly 625k tokens worth $2.1mm were given out after day 1.&nbsp;
The NFT staking rewards are calculated using an x2y2 algorithm, but it essentially takes into account&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Value of the collection and if it&rsquo;s actively trading or not</li>
<li>List price compared to floor (looking for attractive pricing)</li>
<li>Comparative price vs OpenSea (rewards for equal or lower pricing on x2y2)</li>
</ul>
They have yet to release the results of their platform audit. So always, be careful and DYOR before claiming.
&nbsp;
<h2>Cameo Pass Sells Out, Hints at Future Plans</h2>
The public sale for the final 1k supply of Cameo Pass NFTs lasted all of about 10 seconds before selling out.&nbsp;
About an hour after the sale ended, the team tweeted out future plans, including:
<ul>
<li>reveal today</li>
<li>discord for holders</li>
<li>free march of the NFTs (t shirts)</li>
<li>events (digital and IRL)</li>
<li>airdrop</li>
</ul>
The market reacted strongly to that tweet, as the floor price rose from 0.25 ETH up to 0.4 this morning ahead of today's reveal. Which of the 3 artists will command the highest floor post-reveal: Burnt Toast, Vinnie Hager or Luke McGarry? Time will tell.

<h2>Cameo Pass Public Sale</h2>
Cameo Pass is a collection of 6,000 membership-based NFTs that launched presale on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at a mint price of 0.2 ETH.&nbsp; Today, Cameo Pass releases the remainder of their collection at 7 p.m. EST.&nbsp; Out of the 6,000 total NFTS, there are 2,000 of each pass titled "GM, GD, and GN." The Cameo Pass gives holders virtual and IRL access to the community, while also providing unique art created by Burnt Toast, Vinnie Hager, and Luke McGarry.&nbsp; The Cameo Pass has almost 1,400 individual owners and roughly 1,700 items total minted, with secondary volume approaching 200 ETH in total as we enter mint day.

<h2>Melania Trump NFT Auction Snapfoo</h2>
In January of 2022, Melania Trump entered to cryptocurrency and NFT space with a project released on the Solana blockchain titled "The Head of State Collection."&nbsp; The Head of State Collection is a unique collection of three one-of-a-kind "White Broad-Brimmed" worn by Melania Trump, a watercolor version, and a digital version with motion, all signed respectively my Melania Trump and their artists.&nbsp; The Auction had an initial asking price of roughly $250,000 (1,415.86 SOL at the time), which was eventually sold for $185,000 (1,800 SOL at the time).&nbsp; Over the course of the weeks following the auction, a number of news sources and blockchain sleuths have uncovered unnerving news that the wallet that purchased the Auction has been traced back to the origin wallet that created Melania Trump's NFT.&nbsp; The blockchain provides completely transparent transaction history and ledger data, proving the original wallet purchased USDC, transferred to a second wallet that eventually sent the 1,800 SOL to purchase the collection.&nbsp; This is not the first celebrity trying to cash in on the "NFT quick money," and we are sure to see some in the future try to abuse the system as well.&nbsp;
