February 26 - March 1: This week in NFTs, recapped in one letter

Gm,

Ok, things have gotten crazy. Bitcoin is back above $60k and Ethereum at $3.3k, ATH isn’t that far and we’re all (hopefully) this close 🤏 to turning our portfolios green again!

We like to think we’re on the cusp of something big. Which is why ETH Denver is such a great place to be today. Come say hi to our team if you’re in town!

Yet, this time around, the market has matured and is likely going to see more use cases beyond the ones we’re used to.

Which leads us to our most exciting announcement of the week. The new Rarible API is out 💥

If web3 wants to onboard the next 100M users, we need to make sure our dApps exceed expectations. Transactions should be processed almost instantly. Nothing should feel clunky.

Rarible API is the ultimate toolkit for all of us building the future of NFTs. It comes with a real-time NFT indexer, aggregated order books, support for multiple blockchains, and a top-notch trading SDK (the same one we use for RaribleX marketplaces, so you know it's the real deal!). You’re building. We’re here to help. Get your free API keys now.

⚠️ Scam alert: Please keep in mind there are some phishing emails using Rarible's name out there—sadly, even more than usual. Be careful, always double-check the sender's address, and stay safe!

This week, Coinbase faced an outage after having a large surge of traffic (while Bitcoin surged to $63k). Is it a sign of better days ahead?

• Pudgy Penguins is licensing NFTs for the Original 8,888 Mini and Jumbo series collectibles.

• Yuga’s online reunion is up. Apes Come Home, Otherside metaverse’s third and last major testing event is wrapping up today.

• We’ll always have Paris! Musée d’Orsay revealed an NFT auction tied to its historic  ‘Code d’Orsay’ onchain exhibition.

• Popular web3 TCG Gods Unchained is now available on iOS and Android devices worldwide. Its in-game NFTs collection volume has surpassed 188.7k $ETH.

  
  

  

Remember to take profits. But yes, this is still NFA.
