Last Week on the 🌐 Internet
07.21 // Ashton Kutcher drops Stonercats NFTs
Unsurprisingly cats are clogging the Ethereum blockchain again. It was cryptokitties in December 2017 and this week Ashton Kutcher dropped a very on-brand Stonercats NFT project. Release as an “NFT adult animated short series” it’s very clear we are seeing the future of media where we can both be entertained and be part of the project by owning some of the characters.
But, let’s just say it hasn’t been pretty on the back-end.
07.27 // More Cats!
Frankly the Internet has a truly insatiable love for cats and Miroslav Georgijevic’s Sphynxs in his Digital Pet’s Collection caught the eye of many savvy collectors.
07.23-24th // NFT HypeSquad DAO drops days of NFT auctions
Two days and 30 NFTs were sold in SquadDAO’s server in a mega Social NFT Auction using RARA’s app.

Not sure where MC Hammer fits into this project, but we’re here for it.
Phygitals, a NFT trends to watch
Phygital, a term coined by our friends at Charged Particles, stands for items that are in part IRL physical and part digital art. From a 1973 job application from Steve Jobs to physical art paired with an animated, AR NFT art piece, we are seeing some very cool phygital experiments. Not convinced the term will stick yet but we are very excited to collect NFTs that come with an IRL compliment.
