<h2>What is PROOF Collective Pass?</h2>
PROOF Collective Pass is a collection of 1,000 Membership NFTs providing access to the PROOF ecosystem. Owning a PROOF Collective Pass provides access to the private PROOF Discord, early access to the PROOF podcast, access to exclusive art drops, and IRL events.
The PROOF Collective pass collection was minted on December 11, 2021. The format was a Dutch auction, with a starting price of 5 ETH and a resting price of 1 ETH.
The initial utility of the pass was tokengated access to a private Discord server and early access to the recording of the PROOF podcast hosted by Kevin Rose.
<h2>Key Players in the PROOF Ecosystem</h2>
The PROOF ecosystem is headlined by the following personnel:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/kevinrose" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Rose</a> - PROOF CEO. Formerly entrepreneur and co-founder of Digg. Kevin is a partner at the Silicon Valley VC firm, True Ventures.</li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/JustinMezzell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Mezzell</a> - Co-founder &amp; Chief Product Officer at PROOF.</li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/alexisohanian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexis Ohanian</a> - Co-founder of Reddit. Ohanian's VC firm, Seven Seven Six, invested $10 million in a funding round for PROOF.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
As part of its collaborative series, PROOF has also worked with notable artists such as GREMPLIN, Snowfro, Justin Aversano, and more.&nbsp;
<h2>Origins of PROOF</h2>
PROOF was initially designed to be a private group of NFT collectors and artists. To become a member of the PROOF ecosystem and collective and gain all of the benefits of the PROOF ecosystem, users would need to hold a PROOF Collective Pass NFT.
Interest amongst the market's top collectors was quickly noted, and at this time PROOF Collective Pass NFT holders collectively hold more than 800 Bored Apes, 100 CryptoPunks, and 5,000 Art Blocks NFTs.
A few months after launching the PROOF Collective Pass, the PROOF ecosystem expanded with Moonbirds NFTs. Moonbirds are the official PFP and companion of the PROOF ecosystem. In the future, the project aims to build Project Highrise - a take on a metaverse, while expanding Moonbirds Oddities, Mythics, and more. 
The PROOF-built metaverse will be "a dramatic departure from the existing never-ending worlds," claims the team.&nbsp;
<h2>PROOF Ecosystem and Updates</h2>
PROOF created its version of a keynote meeting for PROOF, Moonbirds, and Oddities holders on August 30, 2022. Future PROOF is a conference in California that is streamed live to holders who cannot be there in person and outlines roadmap and project updates.
Moonbirds
Moonbirds is a collection of 10,000 NFTs and is the official PFP project of the PROOF ecosystem. Each PROOF pass holder was able to mint two Moonbird NFTs for free plus gas fees. The remaining 8,000 NFTs were minted for 2.5 ETH each on April 16, 2022.
Grails
Grails is an exclusive mint for PROOF pass and Moonbirds holders. Holders with a PROOF pass or a Moonbird with the "Grails" trait were airdropped mint passes for Grails. Grails Season 1 had 20 pieces of art and Season 2 had 25.
Grails is a collaboration of PROOF with top NFT artists and includes a game theory twist. The pieces of artwork are shown to minters prior to the mint. The mint window is a week-long, and the artist names are not revealed until after the mint. This creates a fun game theory opportunity for collectors to choose the artwork and try to guess which artist in the space it may have been created by.&nbsp;
Grails is an exclusive mint only available to the PROOF community. Each piece is a unique work of art made for the Grails drop in collaboration with outstanding artists in the NFT space and beyond.
Artists like Snowfro and Process Grey <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/proof-collective-grails/news/meet-proofs-grails-season-ii-artists">were included in the second round of Grails</a>.&nbsp;
Emotes by Heart You
Emotes were the first PFP collaboration between PROOF and an artist. Emotes by Heart You is a collection of 1,433 generated NFTs that was an exclusive drop for PROOF and Heart You holders.&nbsp;
<h2>How to Buy a PROOF Collective Pass NFT</h2>
Users who wish to purchase a PROOF Collective Pass NFT can follow the following steps.
<ul>
<li>Go to an NFT marketplace such as OpenSea, LooksRare, and X2Y2</li>
<li>Find the PROOF Collective Pass colllection. It is important to note, that unlike most other NFT collections, PROOF Passes are all the same. There are no traits or additional rarities to sort through.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Find a price that is appropriate and hit the &ldquo;Buy Now&rdquo; option on the NFT you desire.</li>
</ul>
After all of those steps have been completed, the PROOF Collective Pass NFT will now be in your account. You can now enter Discord and connect your digital wallet to prove ownership of the NFT and use the channels in the private server.

</ul>
<h2>What is Clone X?</h2>
Clone X is a collection of 20,000 3D NFTs from RTFKT Studios, an augmented reality (AR) fashion brand.
Clone X launched on October 22, 2021, at a public mint price of 2 ETH. The initial sale was supposed to be carried out in a Dutch Auction format starting at 3 ETH, but a DDoS attack made the website unusable and required the mint to be paused. Once the site was stabilized, the team decided to reopen minting at a flat 2 ETH cost.
Though the public sale price was 2 ETH, individuals holding an NFT from previous RTFKT drops were available to mint up to three Clone X NFTs via a presale. The mint price for wallets on the presale list was 0.05 ETH.&nbsp;
Upon minting during the public or presale phase, users received a Clone X Mintvial, ERC-1155 NFT. In order to receive an official Clone X NFT, users needed to "burn" their Mintvial NFT, redeeming a Clone X.&nbsp;
There is an indefinite redemption period for Clone X Mintvial NFTs. At the time of writing, 358 Clone X Mintvials remain and hold a floor price of 14 ETH.&nbsp;
<h2>Key Players in the Clone X Ecosystem</h2>
The Clone X Ecosystem is headlined by the following key players.&nbsp;
<a href="https://twitter.com/takashipom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Takashi Murakami</a> - legendary Japanese contemporary artist who contributed many of the cartoonish artworks to the collection, including the highly coveted "Murakami Drip" traits. 
Murakami did the artwork for Kanye West's "Graduation" album cover.
<a href="https://twitter.com/benitopagotto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benit0</a> - co-Founder of RTFKT Studios, previously worked with global esports organization Fnatic.
<a href="https://twitter.com/Zaptio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steven Vasilev</a> (@Zaptio) - co-Founder of RTFKT Studios, Chief Executive Officer, and Senior Director of Product Digital/Physical at Nike.
&nbsp;
<h2>Origins of Clone X</h2>
Clone X is a project created by RTFKT Studios, but its connections to the digital sneaker and apparel world have separated this collection from the pack.
On December 13, 2021, RTFKT was acquired by Nike. The floor price of the collection doubled after news of this acquisition came out. Controversy rose as there were a few accounts that purchased a large selection of Clone X NFTs in the days leading up to the announcement, alluding that these accounts knew of the news ahead of time and acted on it.
<h2>Value of Clone X</h2>
The RTFKT and Clone X ecosystem has become a leader in digital clothing and accessories. Holders of Clone X NFTs have been rewarded with RTFKT PodX, MNLTH, and Nike Dunk Genesis CRYPTOKICKS airdrops.
On July 4, 2022, RTFKT "unlocked" Clone X NFTs for holders. Clone X holders can connect can&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://clonex.rtfkt.com/inventory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to the inventory website</a>&nbsp;to download their matching 3D Files. The files are available in .max .blend .c4d .gltf and.fbx formats for use in Unity and Unreal Engine.
Holders have full commercial rights to their respective Clone X NFTs. The 3D files allow collectors to become creators with their avatars. Video games, content, merchandise, and other personal branding possibilities are available to each holder. 
Unfortunately though, Murakami Drip Clones do not have full commercial rights as they are considered Murakami's fine art.
<h3>RTFKT PodX</h3>
PodX is a collection of ERC-1155 tokens that represent RTFKT rooms that holders can customize to display their NFTs. Holders can design the room with furniture and display it how they wish. PodX is powered by the RTFKT partnership with <a href="https://oncyber.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oncyber</a>.
<h3>MNLTH</h3>
MNLTH is a collection of ERC-1155 tokens displayed as mysterious boxes that were airdropped to Clone X and PodX holders. MNLTH was the first co-branded product between RTFKT and Nike, representing Nike's first NFT release.
RTFKT announced a series of quests that would be required before the MNLTH boxes were revealed. The quests were not required, but the MNLTH slowly started to &ldquo;break&rdquo; open as they were completed.&nbsp;
Opening an MNLTH box revealed Nike CryptoKicks, Skin Vials, and MNLTH 2. The RTFKT X NIKE MONOLITH continues the MNLTH story and is powered by Dart X.
<h3>Nike Dunk Genesis CRYPTOKICKS</h3>
Nike CryptoKicks is the first digital sneaker collectible from Nike, minted randomly from the MNLTH box as mentioned above. Skin Vials allow holders to upgrade their CryptoKicks with limited edition skins. RTFKT's first Skin Vial Tech collection, EVO X, features 8 Clone X DNA-based Evolutive Skins.
<h2>How to Buy Clone X</h2>
Users who wish to purchase a Clone X NFT can follow the following steps.
<ul>
<li>Go to an NFT marketplace such as OpenSea, LooksRare, and X2Y2.</li>
<li>Browse for rarity with the <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/clonex/rarity?sortType=1">Lucky Trader asset explorer</a> OR;</li>
<li>Purchase a Mintvial and exchange it on the RTFKT website for a CloneX avatar with random traits</li>
<ul>
<li class="ql-indent-1">Mintvials present the opportunity to unveil a rare Clone X NFT, so the floor price tends to trade higher. The NFTs also become rarer over time as fewer vials remain to be claimed (358 at the time of writing).&nbsp;</li>

<h2>What Is Moonbirds?</h2>
<a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/proof-moonbirds">Moonbirds</a> is the official PFP project of the PROOF ecosystem. Moonbirds is a collection of 10,000 pixelated owls that unlock a private club membership, and access passes into the PROOF Discord.
Moonbirds launched on April 16, 2022, with a mint price of 2.5 ETH. Initially the Moonbirds mint was going to utilize the Dutch auction mechanic, however, given the pre-launch hype surrounding the project the team opted at the last minute to use allowlist service PREMINT to gather an eligible list of minters.&nbsp;
Additionally, each PROOF pass holder was able to mint two Moonbird NFTs for free plus gas fees. The remaining 8,000 NFTs were minted after wallets were selected from the PREMINT allowlist raffle. The PROOF and PREMINT teams tried heavily to remove bots from entering the raffle, and wallets were required to hold a balance of at least 2.5 ETH to register successfully.&nbsp;
Moonbirds also built an innovative take on staking, which the project calls <a href="https://luckytrader.com/articles/moonbirds-nesting-is-live">"Nesting."</a> Nesting allows the Moonbirds NFTs to be "locked up" without ever leaving the holder's wallet. The Nesting contract removes the ability for the holder to sell their token. Holders must un-nest their NFT before they can list it for sale on a secondary marketplace. Holders can transfer the tokens without un-nesting and are able to nest with hardware or multi-sig wallet.
Rewards are given to holders after nesting for certain levels of consecutive days (see below). Moonbird NFTs achieve new tier levels (checkpoints) over time, and their nest is upgraded. Upgraded nests will enable enhanced drops and rewards. Un-nesting a Moonbird will reset your rewards back to the beginning of your highest achieved Nest level. Holders can track their rewards and nesting streak on <a href="https://nest.moonbirds.xyz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the nesting website</a>.
As of August 4, 2022, the PROOF team made a controversial decision <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/proof-moonbirds/news/moonbirds-and-oddities-moving-to-cc-0-public-license">to give Moonbirds the CC0 license</a>. CC0, or creative commons licensing, enables Moonbirds to be freely built upon, without restriction under copyright law. Other notable CC0 NFT projects include Cryptoadz, Chain Runners, and Goblintown.
The team is also expected to work on Project Highrise, a metaverse project. The PROOF-built metaverse will be "a dramatic departure from the existing never-ending worlds."
<h2>Key Players in the Moonbirds Ecosystem</h2>
Moonbirds notable standing in the NFT ecosystem is due in large part to the team members at the project's helm.
<a href="https://twitter.com/kevinrose" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Rose</a> - Entrepreneur who rose to fame after co-founding the news aggregator, Digg. Kevin is a partner at the Silicon Valley VC firm, True Ventures, which was named a "Top 25 Angel Investors" by Bloomberg.
<a href="https://twitter.com/JustinMezzell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Mezzell</a> - Co-founder &amp; Chief Product Officer at PROOF. Justin also co-founded and lead the art on the Solana NFT project, Grim Syndicate.
<a href="https://twitter.com/alexisohanian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexis Ohanian</a>&nbsp;- Co-founder of Reddit. On April 25, 2022, it was announced that Ohanian's VC firm, Seven Seven Six, <a href="https://twitter.com/moonbirds/status/1518655410495918080?s=20&amp;t=ul4VwPbla5lL3yaNVpT3_A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invested $10 million</a> in a funding round for PROOF.&nbsp;
<h2>Origins of Moonbirds</h2>
Moonbirds is a project created by PROOF; the team behind the PROOF Collective and Grails.&nbsp;
Moonbirds has attracted higher-end collectors, especially those with an interest in collecting expensive art. Many of the Moonbirds holders have previously invested in the past ventures of Kevin Rose.
<h2>Value of Moonbirds</h2>
The first weekend after the Moonbirds mint saw record sales volume and soaring floor prices. Users minted the NFTs at 2.5 ETH, but within minutes the floor price of the collection ballooned to more than 7 ETH, and it has not fallen below 7 ETH since inception.
The unique Nesting mechanic can provide holders with other means of value and utility as well.&nbsp;
The first nest level was called "Straw Nest." After 30 consecutive days of Nesting, holders' Nesting levels are upgraded to "Bronze Nest." After achieving a Bronze Nest, holders are allowed to claim a free hat (Snapback or Dad Hat) and sticker bundle for free.&nbsp;
After 60 consecutive days of Nesting with the Bronze Nest status, holders' Nesting levels are upgraded to "Silver Nest." After achieving a Silver Nest, holders are allowed to claim a free sock and fanny pack bundle for free. The next level of rewards was announced to be 90 consecutive days of Nesting with Silver status, and will be called the "Gold Nest."
<h2>Moonbirds Oddities</h2>
Moonbird holders that were nesting their NFT on May 22, 2022 (the same day as the earliest possible Bronze Nest reward), were airdropped a new collection called "Moonbirds Oddities."&nbsp;
The remaining Oddities connected to Moonbirds that were not nested at that time were given away to the following partnered diverse NFT communities: <a href="https://twitter.com/endaomentdotorg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@endaomentdotorg</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/unicorndao_xxx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@unicorndao_xxx</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/50mmCollective" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@50mmCollective</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Blackatxyz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@Blackatxyz</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/humandao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@humandao</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/0xDecaArt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@0xDecaArt</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/myBFF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@myBFF</a>.
Oddities is a collection of 10,000 NFTs created in collaboration with artist <a href="https://twitter.com/gremplin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@gremplin</a>, widely known for his art behind the Nouns and CrypToadz projects. Moonbird Oddities cryptically stayed unrevealed for two months before being revealed on July 22, 2022.&nbsp;
Oddities give holders access to channels in the PROOF discord and access to Codename Highrise, but they are not considered a companion to Moonbirds and cannot be nested for rewards.
<h2>How to Buy Moonbirds</h2>
Users who wish to purchase a Moonbirds NFT can follow the following steps.
<ul>
<li>Go to an NFT marketplace such as OpenSea, LooksRare, and X2Y2.</li>
<li>Browse for your ideal rarity using <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/proof-moonbirds/rarity?sortType=1">our asset explorer</a>&nbsp;</li>
<li>Go to the Moonbirds nesting site and check on which nest level the Moonbird NFT has achieved</li>
<li>Hit the &ldquo;Buy Now&rdquo; option on the NFT you desire.</li>
</ul>
After all of those steps have been completed, the Moonbirds NFT will now be in your account. If you connect your wallet to the Nesting site, you will be able to start Nesting your Moonbird to earn future rewards.

How to Buy Your First Moonbirds NFT

NFT NYC is an annual conference bringing together the leading projects and influencers from the NFT industry. The fourth iteration of this event took place last week from June 20-23.&nbsp;
I got into New York on Monday evening and attended a dinner with some Discord members that I had never met in person before. A major theme of NFT NYC was meeting people who you have spent the last year conversing with online.
If you just went to the events, you wouldn't think people were down 90 percent on their investments. Morale was high and people enjoyed the events put on by the projects they have been participating in throughout the past year and a half.
10/10, I would go again.
&nbsp;
<h2>NFT NYC Events I Attended</h2>
I attended a handful of events from prominent NFT collections, including CryptoonGoonz and Moonbirds.&nbsp;
<h3>Cryptoon Goonz/Alien Frens/Football Critters</h3>
The Cryptoon Goonz, Alien Frens, and Football Critters held a collaborative hang-out at "The Ground," a Futsal club in lower Manhattan.&nbsp;
You can get a sense of the venue <a href="https://twitter.com/Cryptoon_Goonz/status/1540769640774762498?s=20&amp;t=JFjEl8cPqwLLIfHD_vGBTw" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">with this drone footage and recap video</a> from Cryptoon Goonz.&nbsp;
The event had space for people to play soccer on a freshly painted court adorned with Cryptoon Goonz and Alien Frens NFTs. Attendees were free to roam about, kick around the soccer ball, and the teams even provided custom soccer kits.&nbsp;
A long line of participants stood outside a tent, eagerly awaiting a kit of their choice (Goonz, Alien Frens, or Football Critters) with a screen-printed name on the back.&nbsp;
The Cyptoon Goonz also had a few other events including a boat party for holders, a drawing party, and even one lucky member of the community <a href="https://twitter.com/Cryptoon_Goonz/status/1540114115963899906?s=20&amp;t=JFjEl8cPqwLLIfHD_vGBTw" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">got a tattoo from the artist himself.</a>
After attending the event, it was clear to me that the Cryptoon Goonz team has created a strong community. The focus on streetwear with the Urban Outfitter partnership makes me think the Goonz are here to stay, and I plan on wearing the merch as part of my regular cycle of clothing.
<h3>Moonbirds</h3>
The Moonbirds event was a smooth, professionally produced event with a jam-packed list of notable performers like&nbsp;Tyler Hobbs, Mix Master Mike, David Blaine, and Tame Impala Sound System&nbsp;
Unfortunately, Blaine had already left (or did he???) by the time I arrived. But pictures and videos shared afterward showed Blaine performing stunts like sewing his mouth shut.
Project leaders Kevin Rose and Justin Mezzell came out and gave a speech before getting inked up with matching Moonbird tattoos and Rose said that <a href="https://twitter.com/gulo6969/status/1539525369375735808?s=20&amp;t=1qnYKoVKwUHEnMPfzF3ywg" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">"the next 60 days are going to be nuts."</a>
Attendees of the event were able to claim two pieces of merchandise each from a selection of snapback dad hats, bandanas, an insulated tumbler, and perhaps the best of all, a Moonbirds fanny pack from Lululemon.&nbsp;
I chose the tumbler and dad hat since I was already wearing my new Club Top Shot fanny pack. Later in the night, I went back and there were still bandanas and hats left but the fanny packs were already gone. They let me grab a few bandanas on my way out.
Tokenframe attended the event and allowed holders to see their Moonbird NFT displayed on a 55' frame. Obviously, I took this opportunity (don't worry I didn't have to scan any QR codes).

<h3>Web3 Party&nbsp;</h3>
The web3 party was a fun, casual event led by five leading women in the web3 industry.
The event was hosted and sponsored by Evaluate Market (<a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/jennifer_sutto">@jennifer_sutto</a>), Cryptoys (<a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/StephSutto">@StephSutto</a>), Kiki the Bored Ape (<a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/byswickie">@byswickie</a>), Juicebox Frens (<a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/SeraStargirl">@SeraStargirl</a>), and Upstream (<a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1cvl2hr r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://twitter.com/LaMoniRojas">@LaMoniRojas</a>), and each team provided some merchandise for attendees (including the Cryptoys lunch pail!) 
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/eXW4OQqQqSr9k0OANzyU" alt="undefined" width="548" height="308" />
We enjoyed some light cocktails and I met some people who I have known for over a year but had yet to meet in person.&nbsp;
I enjoyed attending this event led by five notable women who are moving the industry forward. They care about creating relationships and connections within web3 and all met online while growing their own brands.
&nbsp;
<h2>NFT Events I Wish I Attended</h2>
With so many events at NFT NYC, I couldn't get to them all. Here are a few I wish I made time for:
<h3>Cooltopia</h3>
I almost attended Cooltopia, the Cool Cats immersive event, on Wednesday. Not going might have been my biggest regret of the week.
Cooltopia looked like a fun experience that could be shared with your whole family. The Upside Down room (where you could take pictures appearing upside down) was a fun idea and there were multiple games for all ages.
Cool Cats NFT needed a win after a few months of morale being low, and Cooltopia seemingly provided a boost.&nbsp;
The floor price for Cool Cats was 3.5 on June 19 ahead of the events. The price peaked at around 4.42 on June 23 after the positive sentiment surrounding the Cooltopia experience.
<h3>Azuki</h3>
Azuki once again made a statement that the team knows how to throw a fun party. The lore was in full swing through the decorations and the Alley, and Zhu and Lupe Fiasco were the musical guests.&nbsp;
Wednesday night was the only part of my busy schedule that I hadn't planned out an event to attend. Azuki would have fit in perfectly and I would've enjoyed the <a href="https://twitter.com/AzukiOfficial/status/1541929986327777281?s=20&amp;t=f8PYnLE9krJBnQBMxPTZ4A" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">immersive experience of the Alley</a>. 
Zhu was the perfect music choice for Azuki, as the Chinese-American based in San Francisco plays house music that fit the ambiance theme of the Alley.
Azuki showed that they are one of the coolest NFT communities and cultures to be a part of. Multiple Twitter posts noted that the crowd at Azuki was the <a href="https://twitter.com/LastKnightEth/status/1541469517364461568?s=20&amp;t=f8PYnLE9krJBnQBMxPTZ4A" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">most racially diverse event they attended</a>.&nbsp;
<h3>ApeFest</h3>
It's hard to say you wanted to be at NFT NYC and didn't want to go to ApeFest if you had the chance. The event was four nights of music, food, and drinks on a New York City pier.
The first night was somewhat disappointing, as news surfaced that the planned Main Act bailed last minute, so Questlove ended up doing a DJ set.
Unfortunately, Tuesday night overlapped with many other big events such as Doodles, Moonbirds, and Goblintown. And it was also raining that night so not the best experience.
But the third night of ApeFest featured the Roots and Future as musical artists which caused a lot of positive buzz on Twitter.
And Yuga saved the best for last on Thursday night, which opened with a performance by Lil' Wayne. Plus, the rumors about a major performance came true, and the main event was Eminem and Snoop Dogg, who revealed their new song with <a href="https://twitter.com/Eminem/status/1540192609854824448" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">a music video that featured their Bored Apes</a>.

NFT NYC is an annual conference bringing together the leading projects and influencers from the NFT industry. I attended a handful of events from leading NFT projects and recapped my experience.

Zachxbt said the project failed to deliver on promised giveaways and benefits for holders &ndash; which Carter-Williams apologized for in a <a href="https://twitter.com/mcarterwilliams/status/1535346126110527490?t=UUSXJucx8BIL6S7sU2DdDA&amp;s=19">June 10 tweet</a>.

A snapshot was taken for Players Only NFT holders on June 14 at 4:05 p.m. ET. Players Only NFTs will be eligible to claim the upcoming $DGEN&nbsp; token of the KOD Kingdom ecosystem released at a later date.&nbsp;
Players Only NFT holders will also have the opportunity to buy a Knights of Degen NFT claim pass for 0.088 ETH (the original mint price of the collection). The passes will be subsidized by the Players Only treasury and offer a low-cost entry into Knights of Degen, as the collection has a floor price of 0.3 ETH at the time of this writing. The claim pass offer is exclusive to Players Only NFT holders who do not yet own a Knights of Degen NFT. Holders of both Players Only and Knights of Degen NFTs at the time of the snapshot will only receive the $DGEN token and not a claim pass.
The claim passes represent randomly assigned Knights of Degen from the existing collection of 8,888 NFTs, and no additional supply will be added. The supply will be provided by the Players Only treasury and some gracious members of the Knights of Degen community for new community members to be welcome in from Players Only. The Players Only Vault has purchased 50 Knights of Degen so far.
A maximum of 1 claim pass will be available per wallet from the Players Only snapshot, and further details on how to purchase and claim the NFTs will be shared soon.

Free mints meta has overtaken the NFT market in recent weeks, giving rise to new projects built with&nbsp;distinct&nbsp;features and art.&nbsp;
One of those new projects,&nbsp;"ill poop it" has gained attention for its images of steaming piles of excrement. 
But despite the not-so-pleasant imagery, the collection has captivated the NFT market over the last week, trading more than 3,000 ETH in the seven days since its launch. 
Below, we'll give a bit more detail about what we know of the ill poop it NFT project and its growing ecosystem.&nbsp;
{LuckyProjectExplorerLink slug="pieceofshit-wtf"}
<h2>What is ill poop it NFT?</h2>
The ill poop it NFT collection is made up of 10,000 "piles of sh*t" NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain, according to the project's official description.
The project has no defined roadmap nor a Discord for its community of holders.&nbsp;
Instead, just a <a href="https://twitter.com/pieceofshit_wtf" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">Twitter account</a>, and a website - <a href="https://pieceofshit.wtf/" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">pieceofshit.wtf</a> - adorn its official OpenSea profile.&nbsp;
The project initially launched on May 30, minting its final NFTs just a day later on May 31.
The first 2,000 ill poop it NFTs were available for free to whitelisted wallets, which were able to mint a maximum of two ill poop it NFTs.&nbsp;
The remaining 8,000 mints were available to the general public at a cost of 0.00777 ETH each.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/lIObHOkCTKdOxQR4Zy4d" alt="undefined" width="488" height="491" />
&nbsp;
<h2>The Rest of the ill poop it NFT Ecosystem...It's Not Just Sh*t</h2>
Perhaps fortunately for collectors and speculators, the ambitions and work ethic of the ill poop it NFT team do not align with the imagery which has helped the project gain its notoriety.&nbsp;
Since the launch, the ill poop it team has launched Sh*tbeasts, a $SHIT token, Sh*tPlungers, a bathroom cleaner, and a Sh*tty Shop.&nbsp;
So how did we get here? And what is going on with this collection?&nbsp;
Below we'll walk through the ill poop it NFT ecosystem components.&nbsp;
<h3>Sh*tBeasts</h3>
The second NFT collection with a connection to ill poop it is Sh*tBeasts, another collection of 10,000 NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain.&nbsp;
{LuckyProjectExplorerLink slug="shitbeast"}
Sh*tBeasts could be acquired in two ways.&nbsp;
The first way to obtain a Sh*tBeast was through a burning utilized by ill poop it NFTs. Holders who burned two ill poop it NFTs received one Sh*tBeast in return,&nbsp;plus&nbsp;an allotment of $SHIT tokens.&nbsp;
After, the project also hosted a small public sale where Sh*tBeats could be minted for 0.06 ETH.&nbsp;
The collection is built into two types, Genesis and Normal Sh*tBeasts.&nbsp;
Genesis Sh*tBeasts, which could only be obtained by burning ill poop it NFTs, <a href="https://twitter.com/pieceofshit_wtf/status/1533506176163274753?s=20&amp;t=BJmlUI54d1fSVSPskXWftg" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">hold the token IDs 0-3,904</a>. This also corresponds to the number of ill poop it NFTs which were burned (approximately 7,800).&nbsp;
<h3>$SH*T</h3>
Everyone loves a utility token!&nbsp;
The ill poop it NFT team has implemented a native token, <a href="https://etherscan.io/token/0x4e4a47cAC6A28A62dcC20990ed2cdA9BC659469F" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">$SHIT</a>, for use in the ill poop it ecosystem.&nbsp;
$SHIT has a fixed supply of 100&nbsp;trillion&nbsp;tokens, though 25 percent of the supply was sent to Vitalik Buterin, the founder of the Ethereum blockchain. <a href="https://twitter.com/pieceofshit_wtf/status/1533789942421172224?s=20&amp;t=BJmlUI54d1fSVSPskXWftg" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">The project has burned the keys</a> to the contract owner, ensuring that the token supply can never be increased.&nbsp;
The token was given to all ill poop it NFT holders who burned their respective NFTs for Sh*tBeasts. Additionally, users can purchase the token via decentralized exchanges like UniSwap.&nbsp;
At the time of writing, 1M $SHIT tokens are worth approximately $0.76.&nbsp;
<h3>Sh*itty Shop and Sh*tPlunger</h3>
The Sh*tty Shop is officially open.&nbsp;
The first available item?&nbsp;
Sh*tPlungers.&nbsp;
Minted for 500M $SHIT each, Sh*tPlungers are a brand new <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/shitplunger" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">ERC-1155 NFT available on OpenSea</a>.&nbsp;
The collection's mint is taking place in what is being called an "<a href="https://twitter.com/pieceofshit_wtf/status/1534208377211219969" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">Anti-Dutch auction.</a>"&nbsp;
The mint price started at 500M $SHIT, but increases another 500M tokens every 30 minutes until a resting price of 2B tokens.&nbsp;
At that point in time, the price will go back to 500M until the collection is sold out.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Think the plunger has no use?
Think again.
Holders of the Sh*tPlunger <a href="https://twitter.com/pieceofshit_wtf/status/1534208857668743169?s=20&amp;t=dsQB_8EYQkktyKsENkfSZg" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">will be able to use it</a> with an allotment of $SHIT to pixelate the original poop NFTs.
<h3>Bathroom Cleaner</h3>
A future component of the ill poop it NFT ecosystem, the bathroom cleanser, will be used on Sh*tBeats NFTs.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://twitter.com/pieceofshit_wtf/status/1533495854815793153" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">bathroom cleaner will be airdropped</a> to all those who burned ill poop it NFTs, but the public will need to mint it using the $SHIT token.&nbsp;
These cleaners will also come in two types - one for airdrop recipients, and another for the general public.&nbsp;
Only those who receive the airdropped cleaner will be able to use it to upgrade their Sh*tBeast NFT for a rarer version when the project reaches Phase 3.&nbsp;

NFT News and Notes From Top NFT Projects

Lou's Blues |  News and Notes From Top NFT Projects

Former OpenSea employee Nate Chastain has been indicted on one count each of wire fraud and money laundering, after he allegedly used his position to engage in insider trading, according <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/press-release/file/1509701/download" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to documents on file</a> with the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York.&nbsp;
Chastain, who was arrested June 1, faces up to a maximum of up to 20 years in prison for each count.&nbsp;
According to the indictment, Chastain, who was responsible for choosing which NFT collections were featured on the home page of OpenSea, allegedly purchased 45 NFTs on 11 different occasions that were featured. From June to September of 2021, the indictment says, he allegedly used anonymous wallets to perform the trades and protect his identity and later sold the NFTs for 2-5 times the purchase price.
After his alleged actions were reported in September, OpenSea "requested and accepted" Chastain's recommendation from his position and created <a href="https://opensea.io/blog/announcements/employee-information-use-at-opensea/" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">new expectations and processes</a> regarding employees and their access to data and information.&nbsp;
"Today&rsquo;s charges demonstrate the commitment of this Office to stamping out insider trading &ndash; whether it occurs on the stock market or the blockchain," said Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Though Chastain was charged with wire fraud and money laundering, insider trading is a common complaint in an industry where prices can rise and fall indiscriminately at times. Back in December, some <a href="https://twitter.com/zachxbt/status/1470543798514167812?s=20&amp;t=lKUZpfhuFIkMRcHBzllGLA" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">wallets allegedly front-ran</a> the purchase of Clone X Mint Vials before RTFKT's <a href="https://twitter.com/LuckyNFTNews/status/1470508842144391179?s=20&amp;t=lKUZpfhuFIkMRcHBzllGLA" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">announcement</a> that it was being acquired by Nike.
Concerns about this case becoming a precedent for NFTs being subject to securities law were quashed by legal experts, including Adam Sternbach, general counsel for Fractional.
<center>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Insider trading can be a securities-related criminal charge or a descriptor for a scheme whereby someone trades on material non-public information in non-securities assets. Nate&rsquo;s case is the second example. Don&rsquo;t confuse this indictment with a conclusion NFTs are securities.

<h2>Project Updates</h2>
The following are news and updates from some of this week's top projects:
<div class="my-5">&nbsp;</div>
<h3>Yuga Labs</h3>
The claim window for Otherdeed NFTs for Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT holders ended on May 22. As of right now, Otherdeeds NFTs hold a floor price of 2.9 ETH, slightly below the typical cost basis for minters.&nbsp;
Additionally, the first tech demo for Voyagers, the First Trip was announced. Followers can expect it to drop on July 16.&nbsp;
Lastly, the ApeCoin Discourse forum <a href="https://forum.apecoin.com/">has been restructured</a> to make it easier for holders to maneuver through the site and learn about ApeCoin Improvement Proposals.&nbsp;
{LuckyProjectExplorerLink slug="boredapeyachtclub"}
&nbsp;
<h3>Moonbirds</h3>
Kevin Rose made headlines after a <a href="https://twitter.com/kevinrose/status/1529858558002573312?s=21&amp;t=mO1_TeEEgOSQvq8Vc2x6XQ" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">tweet saying he will ask OpenSea to remove</a> projects with "Moonbirds" in the name to avoid confusion with the PROOF Collective PFP project.&nbsp;
The tweet led AI Moonbirds to be rebranded to AI Nightbirds, and also <a href="https://luckytrader.com/news/vince-van-dough-releases-moonbirds-on-looks-rare" rel="follow">triggered the "Moonbirds" photography collection</a> by Vince Van Dough.
In other news, Moonbirds holders who had their NFTs nested for 30 days have now achieved "bronze nest" status. As part of the upgrade to Bronze, users were able to claim a free hat and sticker book. When holders reach 60 days nested, Bronze will then be upgraded to Silver status. There was also a bug caught by the team in relation to the nesting smart contract. Though minor, users should be aware that nested Moonbird NFTs can still be sold if they've listed their NFT - despite these NFTs not being showcased on OpenSea.&nbsp;
Last but not least, The "Moonbirds Oddities" collection was airdropped to holders of nested Moonbirds. Any that remain unclaimed will be distributed to "a diverse set of collectors - women, people of color, and underrepresented groups."&nbsp;
Moonbirds Oddities, which features artwork from GREMPLIN (of CrypToadz and Nouns fame) will not be revealed until July, but have held a steady floor around 3 ETH since launch.
{LuckyProjectExplorerLink slug="proof-moonbirds"}
&nbsp;
<h3>RTFKT</h3>
RTFKT announced the Space Drip Sneaker NFT redemption period, which will run until June 6. After claiming the Space Drip Sneaker NFT - users will then have from June 6 to June 12 to forge their sneaker NFT for a physical pair of the matching sneakers.
The Space Drip Capsules features 19 artists, including Ben Mauro (Huxley), Defaced, and Loopifyyy (Treeverse).
Plus, RTFKT teamed up with Christie's auction house, to <a href="https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-6377707" target="_blank" rel="noopener">auction</a> off a CloneX NFTs with the "GLD SAMURAI" trait on May 26. Unfortunately, since the reserve price was not met so the NFT was not sold.

STEPN

Play to Earn

STEPN is a move-to-earn mobile application built on the Solana blockchain. The app, which is available on iOS and Android, is meant to incentivize its users to get up and move, literally.

The first major project to provide a functioning move-to-earn product, STEPN implements notable GameFI elements to incentivize users, providing them tokens when they go for a walk or a run. These tokens can then be used to improve the game pieces (shoe NFTs!) in the game, or they can be redeemed or swapped for USDC or other cryptocurrencies.

Bored Ape #8585 sold for 777 ETH (~$1 Million) on Saturday. This marks the largest sale of a Bored Ape with the "Trippy" Fur trait in ETH terms on OpenSea. The sale is tied for the 4th largest Bored Ape Yacht Club sale in ETH terms on OpenSea. The NFT is one of 77 with the Trippy trait in the collection, and one of only 3 Trippy apes to also have the "King's Crown" trait.
On September 18,<a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/boredapeyachtclub/news/user-curiously-registers-1-m-loss-on-bored-ape-sale"> a Bored Ape sold for 76.99 ETH</a>, after the previous buyer purchased the NFT for 769 ETH a few weeks prior. The sale sparked conversation on the legitimacy of the original 769 ETH purchase, as there were no high-end, low-rarity traits in the NFT's metadata.
The sale comes just a couple of hours after a <a href="https://luckytrader.com/nft/cryptopunks/news/zombie-crypto-punk-5944-sells-for-980-eth">Zombie CryptoPunk sold for 980 ETH</a>. The high-end Yuga Labs market is heating up.
