GM Baos.

Happy Monday. Hope you had a fantastic weekend and are ready for a brand new week. I'm feeling a bit sluggish, but I will always have time for Dumplings.

These bluechip prices are dropping like my IRL friend count post NFTs.

Today we cover:

  • DO WE APE IN?

  • Punks land some IP rights

  • OpenSea's finally changed its policy!

  • The first XLS file on the blockchain 😱

Entry Prices for Blue Chip Collections 🔥

I've been refreshing some links on the daily. For me, it's Doodles.

But here are some other projects people are probably refreshing on the reg:

Floor prices have been dropping with ETH rising, but the demand to buy up the floor has trickled. This means the floor is getting thicker with buy prices we haven't seen in... months.

You buying in or what?

Punks are getting their IP

From next week, all you Punk holders will have rights to your IP! Think BAYC style.

This means anyone can make merch, restaurants, brands, movies etc. with a CryptoPunk at its core.

More info to be released August 15 🙀

Get ready to see some CryptoPunk products and services out there!

OpenSea changes Stolen NFT Policy after Community Outcry

It’s aBAOt time.

OpenSea has been locking up stolen NFTs which ended up punishing people who didn’t know they were buying stolen NFTs.

People are upset. Imagine trading for a few months to buy into a blue-chip only to find that it's frozen...

But OpenSea has changed that policy!

Now, you degens can go and submit a police report within 7 days of the NFT having been flagged stolen. It's certainly A step, but there have been some other great suggestions to support random wallet drains. Here's some:

  • "Whitelist" for your wallets – NFTs can only be moved between your selected wallets

  • NFTs can't be sold on marketplaces if they have just been transferred to another wallet within 60 minutes

Do you think this will allow users to secure some help from OpenSea Support? I guess we’ll have to wait to find out 🤔

The World’s First Microsoft Excel NFT Art

NFT’s be wildin’, we’re even doing Microsoft Excel Art out here.

This is the first time an XLS file actually has been put on the blockchain. 😮

Each NFT is priced at 1ETH with a total supply of 5. All funds will be donated to the Heart to Heart International, a non-profit dedicated to improving access to healthcare worldwide.
