Jay and Jelly ❤️💜

If you don't already own a BEANZ... it might be time, huh? 🥹. Cause there's two new BEANZ on the block making waves in both web2 and web3. Pudgy Penguins, who? (I'm joking).

Azuki introduced Jay and Jelly as "two mischievous BEANZ who love to go on adventures" and can't imagine life without the other.

The BEANZ are a perfect way to covert web2 frens the world of web3. It's cute and nobody has to know they're actually NFTs (since we all know normie's hate them). What are your thoughts on Azuki's social media/ IP strategy? This seems to be a beeg focus area for them this year!

An LA art museum with millions of dollars in NFTs? 🤩

LACMA has acquired 22 NFTs of generative artwork, donated by @CozomoMedici. Including, CryptoPunk #3831 👀

In the announcement, both de' Medici and LACMA agreed not to use the word NFT, but rather "blockchain art" as "The term NFT has a stigma attached to it so we've stepped away from it".

The $Blur airdrop is LIVE

Money printer go BLURRRRR.

It's official! Blur airdropped its $BLUR token to everyone eligible.

TLDR to how the launch went:

  • Lots of Blur scammers started to appear. *If you didn't qualify for the airdrop, it's final. Beware of phishing links 😬

  • Gas fees were very EXPENSIVE, but everyone was still dumping their tokens (hey, free money)

  • Claiming the airdrop was .05 ETH, with approval around 0.03 ETH & then 0.08 ETH to swap tokens. Let's not talk about the slippage on Uniswap... 🫣

  • Twitter flooded with, "Money printer go BLURRRRR. I just received ____ $BLUR from @Blur_io's Season 1 drop. Season 2 begins NOW. Start listing and bidding on Blur to get a head start on Season 2 rewards" because it was required to claim.

  • Depending on the time of your tweet and amount of $BLUR received, your wallet could be tracked or doxxed.

If you don't want to swap tokens on Uniswap, these are the centralized exchanges you can buy and sell $BLUR on: OKX, Bybit, Gate.io, Kucoin, Huobi and Coinbase.

It will be interesting to watch $BLUR's price action these next few weeks. With the airdrop being 12% of the supply and season 2 incoming, it's possible to see a FOMO pump. You'll probably catch me checking the 1 minute charts 🫡
