What's In Your NFT? 👛

Dear Bankless Nation,

After I wrote about ERC-6551 earlier this week, I chatted with lots of colleagues and peers who were just as excited as I was for the possibilities ahead.

And I guarantee you tons of similar convos took place around the ecosystem this week. We’ve swung from “What can you do with your NFT?” to “What can’t you do with your NFT?”

There are endless potential applications here, all of which are going to help bring more interesting experiences to the NFT space. Soon we’ll all be asking each other, “What’s in your NFT?”

For now though have a great weekend, and thanks for reading everyone — let’s dive into the roundup.
